Huffington Post/Yougov poll on the Zimmernan verdict

"Forty-one percent of respondents to the new poll said that they would have voted to find Zimmerman not guilty if they were on the jury, while a combined 38 percent said they'd have found him guilty of one of two crimes, including 15 percent who said they'd have voted to find him guilty of murder and 23 percent guilty of manslaughter. Twenty-one percent said they weren't sure."

Judging from the lack of hesitation by Juror B37 to speak to the media and entertain a book deal, I'm thinking she took a rather pro-active role in deliberations and was a key factor in swaying those three jurors.

My guess is that those three jurors lacked such proactivity.
