(CNN) -- The woman known as Juror B37 in the George Zimmerman trial released a statement exclusively to CNN Wednesday pushing for new laws.

"My prayers are with all those who have the influence and power to modify the laws that left me with no verdict option other than 'not guilty' in order to remain within the instructions. No other family should be forced to endure what the Martin family has endured," she wrote.

"The juror said she wanted to find Zimmerman guilty of "not using his senses" "

How about we make everything illegal and use selective enforcement? No trial necessary. Hell, we are 1/2 way there already.

Maybe Tom Joyner can send both Rachel Jeantel and Juror 007 to Law Skoo?

She reminds me of a person a network brings in as part of a crowd to watch a TV pilot to find out if it is viable and then afterward wants the network to use her as a programming consultant.

No thanks. She’s not qualified. Her arguments prove it.

Let’s get a “SOMEONE’S GONNA HAFTA PAY” law passed, right away.

I have to avoid the topic of Zimmerman’s acquittal, as the useful idiots are everywhere. Just found my high school class on FB, or they found me...anyway, a very old friend who I was once close to posted an article on poor St. Trayvon to her page. Dear, God....she was in honors classes in high school, what happened to her brain since then? The waitress at my fav diner just graduated with her bachelor degree in geology....I was afraid to ask what she meant by being hooked on the Zimmerman trial...just couldn’t take it if she was another useful idiot and did not want to know either way.

Isn’t she the juror who got roasted in the social media for trying to shop a book idea? Maybe she has been outed and now feels threatened if she doesn’t toe the liberal line.

Nobody forced them to raise the boy outside the bounds of a committed married relationship.
Nobody forced them to raise a thug.
Yes, liberty is dangerous. There needs to be more laws restricting stupidity. (/sarc)

What in the blazes is her mental problem? I see her now starting a new career into creating a "Maybe guilty" verdict.

Meanwhile, a new law should be created that jurors should keep silent or face jail time, a year for each hour they deliberated. If one juror speaks, all jurors are fined.

Seriously, if the jury had declared open season for thugs,
we’d be in a civil war within a couple of years.

When people know they can’t find justice in the jury system,
they’ll start taking matters into their own hands.

Of course we should modify centuries of law because this twit got emotional! Sure, what could possibly go wrong?

” No other family should be forced to endure what the Martin family has endured,”

This logic happens in a lot of cases....no reliance on facts, just concern for emotional issues.


This is why I cringe at woman judges and woman juries. Emotional thinking is quite a valuable asset, but it has its weaknesses. Decision making in a court of law is one of them. You need people, cough *males* cough, who can “compartmentalize like Bill Clinton” and focus on the specific task. The job of the jury is not to determine the emotional impact of their decisions. Rather, it is to determine if the guy being accused can be found guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. Period. Anything else is what we call “scope creep”.

Women are natural multitaskers and want to bring all sorts of irrelevent information to bear. It is important to be able to identify the irrelevant info and separate the chaff from the wheat. Men naturally do that better, though this has its own weaknesses that are to be held for other relevant threads.

Her CNN interview has brought on the spotlight. She’s been getting threats so now she’s trying to defuse the situation.

“Laws” exist to punish stupidity.
They exist in this thing called “reality”.

Trayvon experienced the consequences of one of those laws.

Has anyone else noticed that jurors in high-profile cases have now taken on celebrity status? It used to be that they just faded into the background.

'"My prayers are with all those who have the influence and power to modify the laws that left me with no verdict option other than 'not guilty' in order to remain within the instructions.'

Translation: People 4 times smarter than I (A.K.A. halfwits) finally got through to me that since I came forward and blabbed my chances of remaining anonymous are "slim" and "none" and Slim done left town. So I am gonna blame the system to try and save myself.
