The second juror to speak publicly said in an interview made available Thursday she feels George Zimmerman "got away with murder" for fatally shooting Trayvon Martin, but that there wasn't enough evidence at trial to convict him under Florida law.
Martin's mother, Sybrina Fulton, released a statement saying, "It is devastating for my family to hear the comments from juror B29, comments which we already knew in our hearts to be true. That George Zimmerman literally got away with murder.
"This new information challenges our nation once again to do everything we can to make sure...

Thanks! I wasn’t aware of this. I must pay more attention. lol. That was Zimmerman’s side of the story. I thought it would have been on the cell phone when someone was screaming.
Credit to the jurors who, though their “feelings” may have dictated differently, followed the evidence and the law to a just conclusion.
If I had to try a Sharpton or Jackson, and the evidence was not there, I’d have to vote to acquit. But I would hate doing so, and probably would sound off about it like that juror.
Interesting, Jurors judge the facts, the judge interprets the law, but here we have a juror interpreting the law and appears to have ignored the facts. If the juror felt that GZ was guilty then how could she have voted not guilty.
He's as much a "Saint" as any gang-banger, axe murderer, child-molester, or sex deviate.
Follow the money and we'll see how much you "care" about him.
How is it weird? The 911 tape is a small part of the fight and if someone SPEAKS something its hard to pick up yards away unlike a scream. Anyway, whatever. I’m not trying this case again here for you. It’s over. Not Guilty. Deal with it.
She should have kept for GD’d opinions to herself......all she wanted to do was to get some Benjamins, even if more people wind up getting killed in revenge attacks.
You would not have heard it on the tape, as Trayvon told this to his victim during the attack. There was no testimony that Trayvon yelled—rather he said it when he was up close and personal with the man he was trying to murder.
I know someone who got his free phone. He complains that it only covers 250 minutes a month. Gosh, my $10 a month plan, on which I pay fees and taxes even when I don't use it, costs $10 a month. If I use it, it's 25 cents a minute. I laughed out loud at that complaint.
Wouldn't it be cheaper just to pay for land lines for poor people, making local calls free? For emergencies when not at home, any old phone if kept charged has access to 911.
I'm rambling from one thought to another....if the HOR were really on the side of fiscal restraint, this is the kind of money-saving solution they'd be making. Or maybe they're too stupid or too connected to the providers to come up with real solutions.
Wish the MSM would interview the alternate juror. He would vote not guilty based on timeline evidence. Per Jentel, when she spoke with Martin on cellphone, two things were established, Martin ducked and lost Zimmerman and he was very close to her fathers condo. The moment he ended his cell call Zimmerman ended his with the police dispatcher and informed her that he was getting out of his car to see where Martin went. Both men were apart and out of sight, but when the cops arrived both of them were on the ground near Zimmerman car and away from the condo. The juror raised the question, why Martin no longer shadowed by Zimmerman and close to the condo, not get off the street and into safety of the condo? The only thing he can draw from the timeline info and location of events, is Martin chose to go hunt for Zimmerman, find him and confront. Once that happens, the alternate juror conclude Zimmerman is completely innocent and Martin made the bad judgement that night.
Is Trayvon's mother also aware that Juror B-29 called the trial a publicity stunt that never should have happened?
Juror B-29 is an obviously confused and unintelligent lady. An article takes a whole different meaning to the headline reader if the media uses her other statements...
Juror B-29: No evidence of guilt; trial a publicity stunt
I wonder if Juror B26 will now get her free I AM TRAYVON tee shirt or will Sybrina still make her pay for it.
That’s what I was hoping, too. But Zimmerman seems to be a very truthful and trustworthy young man. Have you read about his mentoring of black kids and all the good works he’s done? Very little has been published about this, just like all the good works that Romney quietly did for people in need.
This is unabridged from the testimony right?
If this jurour actually thought this, then they easily could have "stood their ground," and created a hung jury.
But they did not. They voted "NOT GUILTY."
Sadly, we are watching our system be cporrupted by racism, sensaltionism, fame, and greed.
Trayvon Martin was punk gangsta wannabe, who was raised for eight year in a household where the male was a Crip. He was into drugs and crime, he had been removed from school for these things three times, and that night he decided it was time to get a little "whitey smackdown," onto his resume.
He was mercilessly beating Zimmerman, and when Zimmerman was able to shinny away from the concrete he bagan to curse him, tellinhg him to shut-up (Zimmerman was screaming, terrified for help), and tried to smother him.
Zimmerma's testimony and the evidence is a rare look into a murderous rage from a guy who survived.
And let's be clear he survived for two reasons.
1) He had a gun.
2) He reached a point where he was willing to use it.
Zimmerman defended his life and was found not guilty by a jury. Now you have one of the jurors telling the whole worlds that she was a weak, immoral person, who, in essense, lied. or, she found correctly and now believes she can cash in on it.
"He got away with murder," she now says, when one of the charges against Zimmerman was second degreee murder?
Pure Bravo Sierra.
You betcha.
My theory is that someone got to this juror. She’s now saying this to help set the stage for race riots. If she felt this way in the jury room, why didn’t she vote to convict GZ? That was the time to do it. Not now. Their vote was taken, approved by all, and read into the record. Case closed. I wonder how the members of the OJ jury feels about their verdict. Do they now feel they let a double murderer get away scot free?
I do think that someone is probably sitting in a law office someplace ticking names off lists for slander suits on behalf of George Zimmerman.
Please make it stop! A thug acted the thug and got comeuppance. End of story..! The media and the left are all in on Sainthood..
