Robin Roberts interviews Juror B29, the only minority juror from the George Zimmerman trial, on an episode of "Good Morning America" that aired July 26, 2013.
Did George Zimmerman get away with murder? That’s what one of his jurors says, according to headlines in the New York Times, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, Chicago Tribune, and dozens of other newspapers. Trayvon Martin’s mother and the Martin family’s attorney are trumpeting this “new information” as proof that “George Zimmerman literally got away with murder.”
The reports are based on an ABC News interview with Juror B29, the sole nonwhite juror. She has identified herself only by her first name, Maddy. She’s been framed as the woman who was bullied out of voting to convict Zimmerman. But that’s not true. She stands by the verdict. She yielded to the evidence and the law, not to bullying. She thinks Zimmerman was morally culpable but not legally guilty. And she wants us to distinguish between this trial and larger questions of race and justice.
ABC News hasn’t posted a full unedited video or transcript of the interview. The video that has been broadcast—on World News Tonight, Nightline, and Good Morning America—has been cut and spliced in different ways, often so artfully that the transitions appear continuous. So beware what you’re seeing. But the video that’s available already shows, on closer inspection, that Maddy has been manipulated and misrepresented. Here are the key points.
1. The phrase “got away with murder” was put in her mouth. Nightline shows ABC interviewer Robin Roberts asking Maddy: “Some people have said, ‘George Zimmerman got away with murder. How do you respond to those people who say that?’ ”(continued)

Yup....but is her story worthy of a book??
Her next best bet is getting invited to the White House...and start touring with Tray's family...
Something kinda smells doesn't it.
She looks Filipino.
The only thing that could make this whole Zimmerman thing a bigger fiasco than it already is would be for B-29 to come out and say that her name is Enola Gay.
How about: “But you had the ability to hang the jury. Had you not voted to acquit, George Zimmerman would still be facing charges.”
This seems like a total sham. How will she get out of being threatened yet still cash in on this?
Come out with this b.s.
Even then, she is confused and being manipulated by the interviewer.
Sounds to me like she's now working for some group that's pushing for outlawing self-defense arguments (in cases where the proper races are involved). Most likely one of the groups that evolved from the re branding of ACORN and received extremely heavy funding via the "stimulus".
In other words, she's indirectly on Obama's payroll now (paid for by us).
Most police departments have a non-emergency number, for use by anyone that needs to call the police for routine or non-urgent matters.
911 is not supposed to be used except for things that require an immediate response.
Blood on your hands if any ‘Trayvons’ go out and kill a white person because you put the idea in their head that GZ ‘got away with murder’.
I had always hoped that once people heard incontrovertible truth, they would adjust their beliefs accordingly. What has been proven is that the stupid, the racists, the perpetual black victim class, delusional white libtards and idiots like B29 will cling to their stupidity to the end.
Wonder if some one happened to check her phone logs and email if it would be found out she’s had contact from the DOJ or Obama directly?
Slate has actually had some good articles on Zimmerman.
Also, I actually read an article on the Huffington Post recently. The article was typical liberal trash, but the comments were running at least 80% in favor of Zimmerman and self defense laws.
About half of my family was born & bred in the Philippines. I assure you, the Filipinos I know have ZERO ‘white guilt’. I think the liberals are trying to live in the 60s. But in 2013, I know as many mixed race marriages - more, in fact - that I do white-white, unless it is white-(white hispanic).
I’ve started taking classes at the local community college. If anyone there feels any ‘white guilt’, they are at least 40 years old. The ones in their 20s and early 30s have dated interracially and live interracially. Many are still liberal, but they don’t seem to believe anyone owes any race anything.
Maddy should get out of the spotlight. You, well, you should know when to keep your 'mouth' shut 'cause you've made a fool of yourself to anyone who is keeping up with the details of the story despite the media blitz of deceptions.
She’s OF COLOR. And also OF IGNORANT.
It was a senseless killing. Martin was killed while beating Zimmerman senseless.
I”ve been reading about the case a lot and listening a great deal. I heard that she was Puerto Rican. If so, that explains a lot of the racial confusion because many, of not most, Puerto Ricans are mixed Hispanic and black.
“She’s been framed as the woman who was bullied out of voting to convict Zimmerman”
Because she’s too stupid to figure out what not guilty means.
Did they interview the nonblacks? No? They are racist bastards.
So what “fool” should have kept their mouth shut?
Your buddy B29.
Yes, she is mistaken about the nature of murder or kill. The Commandment reads 'Thou shalt not murder'. It does not say thou shalt not kill. because she is mistaken some folks want to crucify her even though she did the right thing according tot he law!
And look what irrational crap comes spewing forth on this very thread! Look at how easily some so called conservatives are manipulated into making stupid accusations over the emotions wrung out of a woman who did the right thing when the chips were on the line!
