.Having no interviewee present did not phase O'Donnell, who wanted to make the point that he wasn't going to be lobbing the kinds of softballs Sonner had gotten used to on other programs. That's how O'Donnell opened the segment, practically spitting out his words: "He knew these questions weren't going to be the questions he was facing everywhere else. He wasn't going to get out of here with an easy interviewer, he wasn't going to be let off the hook with his lawyerly questions."

. A shorter URL for the above link: . http://tinyurl.com/cmgyyrr . .In a bizarre turn of events, MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell interviewed an empty chair on his program Monday night, after scheduled guest Craig Sonner reportedly fled from an MSNBC studio in Orlando just moments before the show began.
.Sonner represents George Zimmerman, the former neighborhood watchman who shot and killed 17-year-old Florida resident Trayvon Martin in February. His appearance on O'Donnell's program would have been just the latest in a string of high-profile media interviews over the past several days, as he's attempted to shift the narrative surrounding the case.
. snip .Later on during the segment, O'Donnell turned to Sonner's empty chair and began reciting the many questions he had planned for the aborted interview. Those questions included:
. "Who is paying you, Mr. Lawyer?" . "Does George Zimmerman have a job?" ."Did you represent him when he was arrested for assault on a police officer in 2005?"
."Your client was not injured enough to go to the hospital that night. You say he sought some sort of medical treatment the next day. Do you have those medical records that you can show us?"
