Fox News host Gregg Jarrett says that George Zimmerman "has already been punished" for the killing of Trayvon Martin because he "looks like he's put on a hundred pounds."

During Monday's coverage of jury selection, Jarrett and Fox News host Kimberly Guilfoyle observed that Zimmerman had gained weight since his arrest in April 2012.

"He does look like a different guy," Jarrett remarked. "It looks like he's put on a hundred pounds. Look, he has been in hiding and he fears for his life, and there have been all kinds of death threats. And, you know, he can't go anywhere, can't get out and get exercise."

"Probably suffering from stress and anxiety," Guilfoyle added.

"You eat when you're under stress and pressure and stuff like that," Jarrett agreed. "So, you know, he's already been punished to some extent. We'll wait and see whether a Jury punishes him further."

"This is an individual that was trying to do some civic duty by being on the community watch," Guilfoyle opined. "That was the purpose of why he was there that night."

"Sure, let's not forget there's a reason for a community watch," Jarrett replied. "Because that's a community with a need for a watch. Because they'd had problems like this in the past."
