elder generation way of looking at things and don t understand that a football player goes out to play football and in the locker room we are around each other the entire day and see each other more than our own families. we ll be fine as players. it s not the players you have to worry about. it s the coaches and front office. that sports illustrated article quotes personnel managers who have concerns and don t think that michael sam will fit in. cbs their sports commentary online says his draft prospects have dropped 70 slots overnight because of this new information. do you think this hurts his prospects in the nfl? i think it does and i think it s unfortunate that s the case. it shouldn t hurt his prospects what he is. everyone has freedom to pursue
ultimately how they tracked him down. anderson, you can imagine both sides of the aisle are definitely focusing on that element. thanks a lot. to discuss with our equal justice panel, a former federal prosecutor, a criminal defense attorney. sunny, he didn t drive off when he could have and avoided this whole thing. he did drive off after shooting this young man, went to a hotel, watched a movie, had a drink, hung out with his girlfriend. didn t call 911, nothing. and i think there s no coincidence that these types of cases are happening in florida. we ve got the movie theater texting shooting case. we ve got the zimmerman case. and it s happening in florida because of the stand your ground law. no one wants to talk about it. they re saying this is regular self-defense. the problem, anderson, in florida self-defense is the stand your ground law. it s codified, part of the standard jury instructions. and it s empowering people. it s made florida sort of like the wild wild south and
didn t make men equal. colt did, the gun maker. i might convict him just on that stupid statement from his defense attorney. it was offensive. basically what he was saying is dunn had a right to take this kid s life, a right to take his life because he was a young black dude and in dunn s mind, that means threatening. i found that very offensive in niz argument. if you want to analyze the case and looking at the zimmerman case. dunn was in a car and could have left. the second one is zimmerman immediately contacted authorities in his situation. here, the man, dunn, immediately left with his girlfriend and ate pizza. and watched movies and chilled. so there s a lot more there. the trial s just getting started. star jones, thank you so much. star s going to join us later this morning to discuss national
martin/zimmerman case, right? they were in two separate cars, and he shot eight times. i mean, it sort of seems hard to believe it. that it would be self-defense. no, yeah, i agree. and we all thought that leading up to today. but cory stroller did an amazing job, i have to say. he did lay out the foundation of self-defense. one of the things being and even john guy, who is the prosecutor in zimmerman and the prosecutor in this case, even john guy said, look, they were jawing at each other. we didn t hear that from trayvon martin. we didn t hear trayvon martin was engaging in a fight. but actually, john guy admitted that today, and that he was disrespectful. cory kind of took that and ran with it, and said, not only was he disrespectful, he threatened his life. and he laid a foundation that i thought was really interesting, that the person driving the car was on felony probation, and, in kt fa, violated the probation by being out late. if there was a gun in the car, that person wou
stick. but, sir, there there they re like we re going to kill you. reporter: davis sitting in the backseat was killed. his three friends survived. investigators say they found no guns inside their suv and that dunn left the scene, never calling police. cnn, jacksonville, florida. let s break down the case with cnn legal analyst and former prosecutor. paul, great to have you as always. people may not like the outcome in the zimmer man case, but compared to this case, zimmerman was a no-brainer. the cases really don t line up in any way. you play the prosecution. i ll play the defense. the main allegation of course is just what we just unpacked there for you in the story. my main defense is i had to make a decision to save my life. it was an immediate situation. i saw something, i did what i had to do to protect myself.
