"the miami herald" reports the police incident report categorizes his death as a homicide and negligent manslaughter and officers requested an arrest warrant for zimmerman. those details are in sharp contrast to statements made by sanford police chief bill lee who said there was no probable cause to arrest zimmerman. we're taking a closer look at these developments eight minutes from now. since trayvon martin's death george zimmerman is a household name, but the anger and bash lash have consequences for a school lady and her husband who have nothing to do with the situation. the couple's address was identified as that of george zimmerman and tweeted by film director spike lee. it turns out george zimmerman doesn't and has never live at this address. the only zimmerman then is william george zimmerman, no relation to admitted shooter. all the hate mail and unwanted visitors forced the elderly couple to move out of their house and they are now living in fear. jetblue's ceo says the pilot who had a mid mif flight meltdown has been professional. he believes it was a medical security that turned into a security issue. this is the pilot in blue taken off the blaine. flight 191 from new york made an emergency landing in texas after the pilot started behaving strangely. the co-pilot was the first to notice it and locked him out of the cockpit. passengers rushed to subdue the screaming pilot. >> he started to curse at me and telling me you better pray about iraq and iran. i said, you know what?

new evidence today indicates some in the sanford police department didn't buy george zimmerman's story, so why wasn't he arrested? we go deeper into the investigation coming up next. first, you've got to meet this little guy. 6-year-old reese holloway. a hint of the major leagues. keep your eye on this kid, because thisle little leaguer plans to bat with the big guys, like his favorite player chipper jones there. reese taught himself how to hit a baseball at the ripe old age at 2 without a left hand. he was born without it. reis has never seen it as a disability. >> i was born like that. >> a sports star in the making and our rock star, reese, we'll see you in the major, buddy. dibs on your baseball cards. what's with you?

>> it's a great question, because the process of the investigation is what is at hand here. when police officers have a high profile crime like this, the first officers responding to the scene secure the scene. they obviously have a homicide situation, and they contact the investigators. in most police departments the investigators will contact the prosecutor. at some point they have an interaction with the prosecutor, and once the prosecution authorities have been contacted, they generallily may may the de whether or not the arrest is made and how they work forward. >> at the very beginning you say in most cases of a high profile case, this wasn't high profile until a month later. so, you know, by all accounts this seemed like a crime scene that perhaps any number of the police investigators with that police department might be familiar with and know exactly what to do and how to treat it, et cetera. >> yeah. actually, to a police detective or police officer, any homicide scene is going to be high profile. number one, the horrible tragedy of what occurred is key, but number two, we have to look at what did the police department do initially. did they do their job at the scene? was it processed thoroughly? was all the evidence gathered? was there a statement taken from george zimmerman right away so they had something on hand? the decision about whether or not to prosecute and to arrest, you know, the prosecutors may decide to wait because there's a speedy trial law to deal with or the clock may start ticking. if they're not ready they may want to wait a period of time. the real focus is it if the police department did their job at the beginning and gathered the evidence and presented the case and were in communication with the prosecuting authorities. there's a good chance that justice will be served. if any steps in the process were not taken correctly there will be trouble. i think with all the attention that's rightly being paid to what happened, i think that the process will reveal how things went and that justice may still be served in this case. >> would it be typical or unusual for anyone within the police department to press prosecutors and say i need you to take another look at this. maybe you're initial concerns are it's not a homicide. it's not a negligent manslaughter, which apparently that initial report may have suggested. would the police department do that, try to apply any pressure, try to reveal any more information to prosecutors so as to try to coerce or encourage them to take another look? >> right. i was not there, but in a typical that i'm familiar with, the detective has a lot of input. they will tell their supervisors and prosecutor, this is what i have. this is how i feel about it. this is what i want to do. the prosecutor would say this is going to end up being prosecuted by us and this is what we see at noint. the prosecution has to think about all the things that deal with the trial. the police department and the investigators begin with the scene, but they also have to think about the trial. so it's a give-and-take type of process. i don't know how it worked in sanford at this point. i don't know who else was at the scene that night, whether the police chief was there and the prosecutor was on the scene or not. the initial investigators form the opinion and that opinion usually takes precedence at the time. if the long-term issue of the trial and the prosecution gets involved, it's a give-and-take. it may or may not happen that night. >> i understand you have nothing to do with the sanford police department or investigation. your experience as one in law enforcement, what bothers you most about the handling of this case or the evolution of this investigation or lack thereof. >> well, there's a few things that bug me. number one, i think the focus has gotten a little bit off of the family. the ones who are suffering in this process. i think the focus needs to be on the case itself. i think that giving out investigation, police departments often have their hands tied when other entities get involved. the lack of release of information that could have been released, transparency about the simple fact that the two police officers arrived on the scene, little things like that could have been released should be released to allow the public to begin to understand the process of investigation. the last thing that happens i think about is really george zimmerman walking around with a handgun. there's a lot of talk about whether or not people can carry concealed weapons and there's a privatization of police services. police officers are trained thoroughly. they do make mistakes at times, but they're trained for situations that get very violent and very active and they have gunned. when somebody has a gun and they're not used to that situation and not trained, you often get a tragedy. this is a horrible tragedy that probably would have been prevented, but it happened. now it really has to be done and investigated thoroughly and properly. >> andy hill, thanks so much for your time and insight. appreciate that. >> you're welcome. there's more to this discussion. join soledad o'brien when she hosting a special town hall, beyond trayvon, race and justice in america friday night at 8:00 and 10:00 p.m. eastern right here on cnn. one more time, more live pictures now of the papal visit in cuba. this is havana where pope benedict xiv is celebrating mass at revolution plaza, a historic visit with an equally historic meeting planned later on today. we have a reporter there on the ground. we'll check in with him right after this. ♪ when your chain of supply goes from here to shanghai, that's logistics. ♪ ♪ chips from here, boards from there track it all through the air, that's logistics. ♪ ♪ clearing customs like that hurry up no time flat that's logistics. ♪ ♪ all new technology ups brings to me, that's logistics. ♪ pope benedict is in cuba. take a look right now. it's live pictures of the pope saying mass in havana. thousands turned up at the revolution plaza, the very same spot where pope john paul ii stood 14 years ago. this coincides with the 400th anniversary of cuba's patron saint. patrick joins us by phone. how is the pope's visit to cuba being viewed in that country? clearly thousands of people have turned out. >> reporter: yes, and i'm standing amidst that sea of people. the people of havana have come out to see the pope's final mass in cuba. you find the streets almost eerily deserted, but as you get closer to revolution square, the thongs of people begin, even though it's boiling hot in cuba. as you get closer in the plaza, you're struck by some of the changes. in the heart of the cuba's communist government. usually you would look and see murals of revolutionary icons. today next to the murals are large posters of the virgin mary where the pope is addressing the cuban people, that's usually in years past where fidel castro addressed the cuban people and gave us some of his most firing anti-i am peerism speeches. today a religious mass is held there. as was announced early this morning after this mass before returning to roam, the pope is expected to have a brief meeting with fidel castro. >> do you know anything more about that brief meeting? is that to offer any special blessings for this ailing man who is believed to be in poor health? >> reporter: you know, it's quite striking. here yesterday the pope met with cuba's court head of state, current head of state of a communist government. of course, that's raul castro, and today meeting with a former communist -- former head of state, fidel castro. all fidel castro has said because this is really the result of back channel diplomacy we learned about in the last day or so. all fidel castro would say publicly about this, why he sought the meeting with the pope is he wanted to have a simple and honest chat with the pope. the pope will have a brief meeting because the pope's time is coming to an end here. won't be as long as the 40-minute discussion yesterday with raul castro where he asked for specific reforms and with fidel castro it will probably be more of a meeting between two historic figures. so again, waiting to see images of that meeting once it happens after this pope's final mass in han va na, fredricka. >> patrick, thanks so much. how about pope benedict? how does he appear to be doing? there have been initial reports about his health as well. how's he holding up? looks like i lost patrick. some live pictures right there of the large crowds and what appear to be a choir right now at this mass, this massive mass taking place in the streets of havana. all right. by now you've probably heard about that mid-air meltdown on jetblue flight where passengers had to wrestle the captain to the ground?
