[00:00.00]The testimony is over, closing arguments are done, and now it's the jury's turn. 
[00:06.44]Six women in Sanford, Fla., began deliberating this afternoon in the case of a neighborhood watch volunteer accused of murdering an unarmed teenager on Feb. 26, 2012.
[00:17.33]I have never said this in a criminal trial before. I have never heard it being said before. 
[00:24.06]I almost wish that the verdict had guilty, not guilty, and completely innocent, because I would ask you to check that one.
[00:34.67]Defense attorney Mark O'Mara used his close to insist again that George Zimmerman acted in self-defense and to reject any suggestion that he had it in for Trayvon Martin.
[00:46.56]Instead, O'Mara argued it was Martin who went looking for trouble that night. 
[00:51.28]He pointed to the four minutes between the time the 17-year-old initially ran from Zimmerman and when he stopped running.
[00:59.29]The person who decided that this is going to continue, that it was going to become a violent event was the guy without didn't go home when he had the chance to. 
[01:08.02]It was the guy who decided to lie in wait, I guess, plan his move, it seems, decide what he was going to do, and went.
[01:19.47]Martin was unarmed but the defense lawyer argued the teenager still had potential weapons at his disposal and that he used them.
[01:28.19]But that is cement. That is the sidewalk. And that is not an unarmed teenager with nothing but Skittles trying to get home. 
[01:44.31]That was somebody who has used the availability of dangerous items, from his fists to the concrete, to cause great bodily injury.
[01:56.17]The prosecution says Zimmerman profiled Martin, assumed he was a criminal, and actively pursued him, leading to the fatal shooting.
[02:04.80]But O'Mara told the jurors that the case is full of could-have-beens and maybes, and he warned jurors not to do the prosecutors' work for them.
[02:13.85]You can't fill in the gaps. You can't connect the dots for the state attorney's office in this case. 
[02:20.44]You're not allowed to. This is their burden. They have to take away reasonable doubt.
[02:26.98]They have to look at this case and say to you, ladies and gentlemen of this jury, hi, we're the state. 
[02:33.47]We have proved this case beyond and to the exclusion of every reasonable doubt, because we have connected every dot that fall into line that leads to nothing but conviction.
[02:44.41]And they just didn't.
[02:46.16]Ultimately, said O'Mara, the killing of Trayvon Martin was a tragedy, but he said the jury must not let sympathy influence the verdict.
[02:54.92]In his rebuttal, prosecutor John Guy acknowledged the case and the evidence may not be perfect, but, he argued:
[03:02.81]It is enough, with your common sense. It is enough. And I'm not asking you to fill gaps. 
[03:10.70]I'm asking you to do what you do every day. Start from the beginning, get to the end, and apply your common sense.
[03:20.83]With that, it fell to Judge Debra Nelson to instruct the six-woman jury on the main charge of second-degree murder or the lesser charge of manslaughter.
[03:31.93]In considering the evidence, you should consider the possibility that although the evidence may not convince you that George Zimmerman committed the main crime of which he is accused, 
[03:43.23]there may be evidence that he committed other acts that would constitute lesser included crimes.
[03:48.50]Therefore, if you decide that the main accusation has not been proved beyond a reasonable doubt,
[03:53.61] you will next need to decide if George Zimmerman is guilty of any lesser included crimes.
[03:59.00]The case then went to the juror to sort out the often conflicting testimony, and the waiting began. 
[04:05.74]Law enforcement and community leaders in Sanford, Florida, have called for calm, no matter what the verdict turns out to be.
