Hosted by

Both sides have rested, and a jury of six women will now decide if George Zimmerman's killing of Trayvon Martin a crime or an act of self-defense. We hear from today's closing arguments, review the trial and debate its impact on public perceptions about race and the law. Also, Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano resigns to head UC System. On Today's Talking Point, California law requires humane treatment for egg-laying chickens. What about eggs imported from other states?
