Meet the juror who voted for murder.
She wouldn’t/couldn’t convict ultimately but she seems to think the outcome was a moral travesty, yet she also thinks that the trial was a “publicity stunt” by the prosecution and never should have happened. If there’s one thing a raw, divided America needs now to heal after the verdict, it’s … the opposite of this, basically:
“You can’t put the man in jail even though in our hearts we felt he was guilty,” said the woman who was identified only as Juror B29 during the trial. “But we had to grab our hearts and put it aside and look at the evidence.”…
“George Zimmerman got away with murder,"
“That’s where I felt confused, where if a person kills someone, then you get charged for it,” Maddy said. “But as the law was read to me, if you have no proof that he killed him intentionally, you can’t say he’s guilty.”…
She said she believes she owes Trayvon Martin’s parents an apology because she feels “like I let them down.”
“It’s hard for me to sleep, it’s hard for me to eat because I feel I was FORCEFULLY included in Trayvon Martin’s death.
This idiot needs word comprehension lessons.
Let’s face it, the juror is a blithering idiot.
O’Mara suggests George should leave the US. I agree!
Juror sounds incredibly stupid.
I assume she means she was forced to be on a jury that acquitted Z, who she thinks is a murderer, thereby making her an accessory to TM’s murder.
Maybe she is blaming the state 1) for pressing charges, and 2) using compulsion to force jurors to say what the state didn’t have the balls to say.
I am fast losing faith in humanity.
No one seems to have critical thinking skills.
It’s all about going with the popular flow.
This whole innocent until proven guilty has the leftists in an uproar!
Someone got a big fat check and promise of protection from the government.
They only believe in “Social Justice”.
This chick isn’t stupid. She knows there’s money to be made off this. You wait, her book is coming out as soon as she finds a writer to help her with it. It’ll have some maudlin title like “The Truth in Our Hearts,” and then she’ll make the talk-show rounds. Cha-ching!
Let's face it, she may well have licked frozen flagpoles when she was a kid. Evidently the other jurors dragged her kicking and screaming to the correct verdict in spite of herself.
At least she did the legally correct thing despite her heart telling her otherwise.
People are told to follow their hearts so much nowadays - almost from birth today’s kids have been told that. Yet the Bible tells us that the heart is wicked and deceitful above all things - that it wants it’s own way all the time and that we have to guard against it’s thoughts and intents. It’s ok to have a soft heart but it should be ruled the the head.
This poor lady and, seemingly, a good majority of people are lead around by their feelings.

Sounds like an HBO/Lifetime movie in the making.
Will probably hit the screen about September-maybe October, of next year
Is this the Hispanic juror?
She sounds like the kind of woman that might unintentionally drive a minivan down a boat ramp and drown.
