Juror B29 Will Be Talking With Robin Roberts [View all]

Robin Roberts Nabs George Zimmerman Juror Interview For ABC News

07/25/2013

Robin Roberts interviewed one of the jurors from the George Zimmerman trial for Friday's "Good Morning America."

The network announced that juror B29, named Maddy, sat for an interview with Roberts and did not conceal her identity. Portions of the discussion will air on Thursday evening's "ABC World News with Diane Sawyer" and "Nightline." The interview will air in its entirety on Friday's "Good Morning America." Maddy was the only minority on the jury.

edit: Just saw a commercial on TV saying this juror initially supported a second-degree murder charge for Zimmerman.
