let s start with an extraordinary image of obama and putin. what does this tell us. is obama going too easy on him? the french television, the global pool feed from this ceremony here today put up a massive picture. a split screen behind me. there was a huge ripple of lafter and cheering. they looked across the frame at each other but it boils down to the fact that they did have a talk on the sidelines of this diplomatic and world leaders. of course it follows one-on-one meetings that president pew tin had the other thing that was
you have 15 minutes before the team has to put on running shoes? reporter: it won t be like a supreme court decision coming down because we have eyes and ears inside the courthouse. we also have the pool feed. when that happens we ll be able to broadcast it to you live. at one point it was going to be 60 minutes notice. we were going to get far more of a heads up but the spokesperson for the courthouse indicated they were going to go with 15. primarily because all of the players are standing by at the courthouse. the lawyers for the defense, the lawyers for the state, the family of trayvon martin, the families attorneys are all inside waiting for the jury. there s one thing to note. the phrase compromise verdict. i think we should remember this. it s something mark o mara brought up. it s something that ben crump talked to me about last night. the idea being that you could
