The only minority on the all-female jury that voted to acquit George Zimmerman said today that Zimmerman "got away with murder" for killing Trayvon Martin and feels she owes an apology Martin's parents.
"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."
She said the jury was following Florida law and the evidence, she said, did not prove murder.
The court had sealed the jurors' identities during the trial and still hasn't lifted the order, but Juror B29 edged out of the shadows in an exclusive interview with "Good Morning America" anchor Robin Roberts. She allowed her face to be shown, but -- concerned for her safety -- used only a first name of Maddy.
The nursing assistant and mother of eight children was selected as a juror five months after she had moved to Seminole County, Fla., from Chicago.
All six of the jurors were women and Maddy, 36, who is Puerto Rican, was the only minority to deliberate in the racially charged case. Zimmerman, 29, was a white Hispanic and Martin, 17, was black....

From Chicago, huh? Isn't someone powerful and famous who got involved in this case also from Chicago?
We knew the one from Obastardtown was going to be a problem.
I thought George was a black Hispanic.
CYA attempt for the black mob in case identities “slip” out
I had a feeling this reality show loving whack job was the juror causing the most problems, turns out I was right
This woman clearly has no idea of what “murder” means. She says GZ got away with it, then says he couldn’t be convicted of it because the evidence wasn’t there.
Shows just how close this came to a hung jury and a retrial.
Yeah, the evidence. It's a pesky thing.
It really is a miracle George was acquitted. Start with a lying, fact-witholding, prejudiced prosecutor. Add in an idiot judge who’s totally biased. Then add in some ignorant bee-yotches on the jury, and you have a recipe for disaser.
But God was protecting George. Thank God for that.
Double-talk defined.
Yep
Words . Simply . Fail
Someone needs to inform this (In the words of Al Sharptounge) ignant person that GZ didn’t get away with anything... you DECIDED he was not guilty of the charges.
What an ass!
“Cause I voted for him to get away with murder”.
Say WHAT???
I believe “17 year old Trayvon Martin” has “white Hispanic” beaten by a mile in the drinking game.
“...Zimmerman “got away with murder” for killing Trayvon Martin...”
“...the evidence, she said, did not prove murder.”
So, she “feels” he was guilty but the evidence did not support it. Interesting. I’m glad they let logic, and not emotion, prevail.
It is hard to hold it against Maddy for trying to protect herself and family from the mob. She did the right thing when it counted.
I'd better stay off this thread.
Yeah, unfortunately for her, that pesky evidence got in the way. What a horrible thing, to have to consider the evidence. (Sarcasm off)
Did not prove murder...
But he got away with murder...
Can someone please help this woman breathe...
