question is whom did they actually help? vinnie politan, how good were these for the prosecution? they absolutely help the prosecution because what they demonstrate is george zimmerman s mindset the day and the night that he killed trayvon martin. the ill will despite the hatred that you need to prove second-degree murder is there. based upon those calls you see how frustrated george zimmerman is with what s happening in his neighborhood and who does he blame? the young black males who believes are burglarizing and causing all the problems noupd his gated community. jose baez let s put equal passion on the other side. in the calls he seems calm. he doesn t seem that want heated off. he doesn t come off as a vigilante but more as a concerned citizen. agree with vinnie but it can cut both ways. what he s doing, he s a concerned citizen and if you have any victims of crimes on this jury, he s going to come across looking well.
for the defendant. jeantel lied. jeantel didn t call for help after the final call. jeantel is not on trial. what does that mean. jeantel got agitated and combative on stand. i want goes to the believability of this particular witness. who knows all this. let s bring in the real experts. we have jose baez who is helping us on the defense and vinnie politan, former prosecutor, you know him from hln. great to have both of you. gentlemen thank you for joining us. a very important case. let s begin what was done for evidence. okay. prior calls that george zimmerman made to emergency authorities. a big fight between prosecution and defense. defense argued this is prejudicial has nothing to do with that night. judge nelson believed the prosecution s argument which goes to state of mind. very important because this charge, this second-degree murder, prosecutors have to prove that there was evil intent in george zimmerman s mind. so the calls come in.
that s out, this you can t get a doughnut. forget it. they are gone. too much sugar, too much fat. but you could get a bag of almonds. that s okay. i ll say that s a good choice but my face will tell you you want the doughnut. you know what it? a bag of almonds. nobody says that. they say i want a doughnut. have some on my desk. talk to the teachers fewer problems in school other than how the kids treat each other, what they are putting in their bodies. coming up next on quarter point new day the state s star witness takes the stand at the george zimmerman trial. who does her testimony help more? hln s vinnie politan and defense attorney jose baez weigh in next. a lot of us saw paula deen s tearful apology. some companies still not impressed. cutting ties with paula deen. question, can she undo the damage? i want to make things more secure.
this fight. i don t think it solves that issue. why does this case, for all the talk about who they are and how they are come down to that one moment one time and who began this brawl, vinnie. why will it come down to that? it comes down to it because george zimmerman is claiming self-defense. he s claiming he s the victim. so if you are the one who is pursuing, following and beginning the physical confrontation, how on earth can you turn around to the jury and say i had to kill him he was going to kill me if you re the one that started the whole thing. it s not going to sit will with the jury. that s why it s so important and the witness rachel jeantel is the closest the prosecution has to anyone seeing that initial confront jays. she s not seeing she s hearing. jose to button up the other side. it can still be self-defense because if the fate changes in the fight even if zimmerman
