second degree murder is the intent. but beyond that, i think the bigger issue is the self-defense. and i really wish both parties had spent more time ar particular rating why the self-defense is successful or why it fails. i brief that s the real legal issue. and that s what i brief the jury is in that room now trying to discuss and trying to figure out whether or not there s a real self-defense and where that failure or success fits in between those two charges. tad nelson, i think a difficult aspect for the prosecution s case is that evil intention. in meeting the requirement and that s why they spent so much time as you know on the f-ing punks and ahs and so forth. so that s why we didn t hear from the prosecute ares, look, we think we ve established the elements of second degree murder, here it is. but if, ladies and gentlemen, you don t find those elements

and as you know, the law is clear. you re not entitled to you re entitled to representation from your community. but that does not mean that let s say if i m on trial, i can demand that there be black people on the jury, or if i were asian, that there be asian people on the jury. you just have to have a fair pool. i think it s really interesting that they all settled upon, and both sides using their challenges, this pool of women to be the jurors. and i m really interested to see what the dynamic is of having a jury made up of just women when they evaluate this evidence, when they look at the testimony, how they re going to rule, and what that means that they re all women as they re in that room interacting with each other and communicating. that s going to be really interesting to me afterwards, presuming some of them will talk with us. tad nelson, if this were a case that you were prosecuting, would you have been happy with an all female jury? well, you know, it s a double-edge

at gruesome autopsy photos. right. yet we can t trust them to hear a little evidence about race and a little bit of argument about race? it s not the only issue in the case or the predominant issue. it is an issue. we should stop shying away from it. that s why this case had a ground swell of public support. you know, i would like to have heard more about that. you know, one of the last witnesses was a young woman who was burglarized, in the closet with her baby she s so scared because an african-american burglarized her home. on cross-examination i would have liked to see questions about, well, was it trayvon martin who burglarized you? did he break in? of course it wasn t trayvon martin. are we going to extrapolate we should be afraid of all african-american males? that s racism, taking one bad act and applying it to the entire group. why did we even hear that testimony in the case if not to show there was fear of african-american males on the part of george zimmerman? the prosec
