A juror in the George Zimmerman trial claims the case ruined her life and says she's had death threats made against her children, lost friends, her job and will soon lose her home as a result of it.
The juror, a 36-year-old mother of eight who only identified herself as Maddy during an interview on Inside Edition Thursday, was the only juror who showed her face when she appeared on Good Morning America in July.
Since then, Maddy says, she's lost her job as an aide at a nursing home and she and her husband have had to sell most of their possessions.
Maddy, who is of Puerto Rican descent, was the only minority juror on the all-female panel that found George Zimmerman not guilty. On the July episode of Good Morning America, she told host Robin Roberts that she believed Zimmerman was guilty of murdering teenager Trayvon Martin.
'My first vote was secondary murder,' she said. 'I was the juror who was going to give them the hung jury. Oh, I was. I fought to the end.'
She said that she and the rest of the jury were unable to prove Zimmerman intentionally killed Martin, and that under law they had to acquit.
'George Zimmerman got away with murder. But you can't get away from God,' she said.
Now, Maddy says that going public as a juror on the divisive case has resulted in ruin.
'My whole life has fallen apart,' she told Inside Edition's Les Trent.....
When asked whether she regrets serving as juror B-29 in the George Zimmerman trial, Maddy's response was unequivocal.
'Yes, I do.'

Yeh it’s interesting how much the heat has died down already and it has only been what — 4 months.
was she the opportunist who tried to weasel?
This is why there is civil immunity. To deal with BS outrage. Zimmerman (despite his flaws) would end up owning the trayvon martin copyrights and merchandise.
I think this is more about existing problems in her life and the fact she can’t seem to cash in. Probably because the race baiting industry has taken all the potential profit sources.
WOW -- So Zimmerman is to blame for all of her troubles too.
Is she going to join Sybrina on the Make the World Safe for your Thug Tour???
Some people are beyond stupid and this lady is way out there. She did this to herself by seeking publicity after the trial and opened herself up to the wacko, hateful left (and to the right too probably because she admitted on national TV that she thought Zimmerman was guilty of 2nd degree murder).
First rule, people may think you’re stupid but keep your mouth shut and don’t confirm it. Second rule, those who seek their 15 minutes of fame, are like someone spending a dollar to save a nickel. They will rue that day for the rest of their lives because the media will excoriate them forever, no matter which side of an issue they are on or how well-spoken they are. Third rule, don’t be surprised and shocked when your life, as you know it, will be forever altered for the worse for violating rules # 1 and 2.
This lady is a prime example of the LIV (Low Information Voter) that Obama and the liberal left prey on to further their agendas. These people are disposable to the regime. Thrown under the bus everyday as fodder for their follies.
She is pathetic in her ignorance of what would happen when she exposed herself to the nation on TV. What, she thought she would win a bunch of new appliances and some money like a game show? Or was she eyeing the big prize and hoping to be invited the to White House to meet Trayvon’s faux father, Obama?
This ladies and gentlemen, is why Obama was twice elected to the job of tearing down our great country. This was an unforced error on her part. She couldn’t keep from stepping in her own sh*t.
Idiot. What did she expect? Does she not know the modus operandi of the left?
My guess is that she could be a mental basket case and fell apart after the trial.
She was possibly fired for poor performance after the ordeal.
Well, my daughter has 8 kids. Her husband holds down 2 jobs, and she homeschools the kids. The oldest child is now on her own and doing well. Not every large family is a bunch of losers.
It certainly wasn’t meant as a universal statement. I know many large “responsible” families.
Being an attention whore is not all it’s cracked up to be.
She should have laid low with all the liberal racists donning hoods and calling for a lynching of that white boy.
Aw gee ...

Kudos to the other five for handling her!
Makes you wonder if Zimmerman the Democrat changed some of his political views with the trial and the experiences the last couple of years?
...was the only juror who showed her face when she appeared on Good Morning America in July... is of Puerto Rican descent, was the only minority juror on the all-female panel that found George Zimmerman not guilty... she told host Robin Roberts that she believed Zimmerman was guilty of murdering teenager Trayvon Martin... 'George Zimmerman got away with murder. But you can't get away from God,' she said.
I add, she should have never gone public.
