GLENDA HATCHETT, HOST, "JUDGE HATCHETT": But I will tell you, Piers, I think that one of the best things that will happen out of this is that there will be a discussion now about "Stand Your Ground", because we haven't heard the last of this. I mean, we got another case coming up in Florida later where a teenager was killed, and I think that we have to really get very serious about where we are because this can go far further than any of us could ever anticipate in this country.

MORGAN: Jayne Weintraub, do you agree with that? I mean, I'm not as confident. I look at what's happened with gun control in America, where absolutely zero happened after Sandy Hook and Aurora, why should I have confidence anything will change?
