Hello, everyone. Its high noon here in the east, 9 00 a. M. Out west. Welcome to weekends with alex witt. Hes back with a whole lot to say. Mitt romney on todays meet the press, talking about the comparisons between romney care in massachusetts and obama care. And perhaps the most important lesson the president failed to learn was you have to tell the American People the truth. What when he told the American People you could keep your Health Insurance if you wanted to keep that plan, period, he said that time and again, he wasnt telling the truth. I think that fundamental dishonesty has put in peril the whole foundation of his second term. Current Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick was also on meet the press. Heres his take. It does a lot of good for a lot of people. Thats already begun. It will continue. The website isnt perfect. Thatll get fixed. Im confident of that.

Life. What it boiled down to is a kid minding his own business being followed by a stranger. I gave the mother the message as soon as it happened. Her response was wow. Does this speak it a larger issue of race in america. I think our Justice System is color blind. I think there are many people who go out and shoot other people who are black and they should other people who are black and they are not charged. Clearly ground for civil rights charges here.

What went wrong with the prosecution case and what wrong right with the defense. Only the jurors now. Joining me now, Paul Henderson and defense attorney karen desoto. Thanks for joining me on this big news day. Pa paul, im going to start with you.
Retreat, where randy lived, right . Correct. And i gathered you went and got a picture of your son, just to show them who your son was. Or did they show you a picture of a person that at that time was just described as a person, they showed you a picture of the body there on the ground, correct . Objection, your honor, may we approach . Yes. The George Zimmerman trial continues today with the first full day of the defense continuing their case. Theyre actually at a side bar discussing with the judge at this moment. Im joined now by msnbc legal analyst, lisa bloom. Lisa, we have just seen tracy martin, the father of Trayvon Martin, on the stand. And i think this is what the defense have been building up to today, isnt it, by presenting all of these witnesses, who are claiming that the voice they heard screaming out on that socalled lauer 911 tape was actually George Zimmerman. Well, thats right. And there have been seven witnesses who were Family Members or friends of George Zimmerman w
Right at this very moment of ramming through another disingenuous assault on womens rights. Also tonight, three days after Trayvon Martins and George Zimmermans mothers both identified the same screaming voice on a 911 tape as belonging to their respective sons, zimmerman defense took a different approach today. Ill tell you why zimmermans own team is making sure you know zimmerman was lousy in the gym. Plus, what the nazis learned from the california prison system and why its all horrifyingly relevant today. But we begin tonight in San Francisco, where investigators are trying to determine what exactly happened onboard asiana flight 214 that caused it to crash land into San Franciscos International Airport over the weekend. With 307 people onboard. Tonight we know there are two confirmed fatales in the crash, 16yearold wang jinlia.
