as a result of this? this has been the debate all along and continues to be the debate in the snowden case. how much damage? people will tell you that bradley manning leaked a lot of information but it was information intelligence at a point in time. something that happened in iraq. something that happened in afghanistan. they will tell you that information was rapidly out of date by the time it was publi published and did no real harm to national security. to go to the professor s point, in this country, no member of the u.s. military, certainly a private first class has permission to decide what classified information at any level they can just download and distribute to the public. it s a crime. the question will be how hard will the judge come down on bradley manning and may be the same question that edward snowden faces someday in a u.s.
this case, snowden case, rosen case, and winters case, this is probably the biggest media store of the year even if it s buried in court proceedings. rick: more on that story and also this week, mayoral candidate anthony weiner resigned from congress in 2011 after a sexting scandal admitted that online things didn t stop when he accepted down. here is how the new york papers covered it. beat it in the daily news. the coverage of the story and we re hearing the new york media market it s itself nonstop? and you can t make it up. from the details of the sordid drama and anthony weiner to the woman he
all? it wasn t significant. men have the same experiences as women in terms of being sympathetic, having concerns about neighborhood watch types. if anything i think women might have been more critical of george zimmerman in what he did prior to the altercation with trayvon martin. i don t think gender mattered too much. i think it had to do more with some of the experiences, some of the attitudes these jurors brought with them. one was a safety officer. another told her kids not to go out late at night because of this case. she used this case as an example of bad things that can happen. so i think those are some of the things to look for. one of the jurors had a concealed weapons permit that was lapsed. so i think those things matter more than gender. yeah. you learn anything from that interview about how they saw the law. was it confusing to them? was it clear to them in the end? what was your take? it was confusing to me after i read it the first time. there were sections on j
so i don t think she was undually connected to george zimmerman, i think she was pretty fair about it as most jurors are. i think she was fair about looking at the evidence, assessing the witnesses and then in her mind figuring out what happened and then looking at the law, applying it to the facts and then rendering a decision. and in the broader picture of jury selection in your expertise, what s the most important thing you re looking for from either side of the case? i mean, everybody gets to knock a couple back and what are you looking for? the dynamics are the most important thing, but if i back it up and get two most important things, you want to see the experiences, the attitudes that jurors bring with them because that affects how they interpret the evidence presented to them. but also you want to see how they re going to be in deliberations. are they going to be a leader? are they going to convince others of their perspective? or are they going to be a follower and let
the issue of race and more. have a listen. be honest with me, rachel, do you think that was racially motivated or more a case of somebody he thought was a young thug? black or white. racial. let s be honest, racial. if he was if trayvon was white, he had a hoodie on, would that happen? because that was around 7:00 or something. that s around people walk their dogs, people still outside. all that. the jury the jury never really discussed race as being a motivating factor here. imagine, they re white. well, one hispanic. do you think they understood the world that you and trayvon come from? no. don west gave you a very hard
