George Zimmerman Juror B37 Hates Media, Called Trayvon ‘A Boy of Color’

A mere two days after finding George Zimmerman innocent of the murder of Trayvon Martin, juror B37 in the case has signed on with a prominent literary agent, as a prelude to a book deal. This juror is a woman who hates the media and went into the trial mistakenly believing there were "riots" over the case.

- During questioning, she referred multiple times to "riots" in Sanford after Trayvon Martin was killed. "I knew there was rioting, but I guess [the authorities] had it pretty well organized," she says at one point. In fact, despite a great deal of salivating anticipation by the media both before and after the trial, there were no riots in Sanford, Florida.

- She referred to the killing of Trayvon Martin as "an unfortunate incident that happened."

- Asked by George Zimmerman's attorney to describe Trayvon Martin, she said, "He was a boy of color."

So they did not allow any blacks on the jury, but they did allow a person who falsely believed that blacks were rioting over the case. Now the openly racist juror has a major book deal that she is likely to make millions from, and we are supposed to believe this is justice?

1. She's probably Paula Deen's second cousin.

2. She calls him "Georgie" and doesn't seem to know much.

She deserves ALL the backlash she is going to get for writing her POS book. Jurors should not be allowed to profit on the life and death decisions that they make.

3. Actually, I think "boy" is the correct word to use in regard to Trayvon, who had just turned 17.

I was surprised to hear and read people referring to him as a "man," and suggesting that he and Zimmerman were "two men" in a confrontation.

4. Prosecution Mistake

How on earth did this woman get on the jury? This woman should not have been on the jury. Why did the prosecution not reject this woman?

7. Prob cause they got introuble for excusing to many white women

The demographic of this area wernt to far off the city as far as race. It's like 70% white 10% black 20% Hispanic.

The jury was 5 white 1 Hispanic/black

But to answer your question I belive the state had excused 2 women in a row and the judge reprimanded them.

5. She hates the media except when she can make money with a book deal. nt

6. She can barely speak
