    Yeah I call bullcrap!!! Whose fault is it she didn't stick to her decision??? Somebody intimidate her? She speak and understand English???
    I'll make a judgement call....she is an idiot. She had all the resources at her disposal during the trial and she made her decision. Imo..she is now listening to others and armchair QB opinions based on emotion not facts or law and she feels guilty for doing the right thing based upon the law. My gosh if a person was to watch the news now you would think Martin was a sweet little boy who just got shot by a big old mean man.
    Bottom line Zimmerman killed a man who was more than likely gonna kill him or put him in extreme pain...possibly for life so he shot the young man to defend himself. He went to trial and was found innocent. This lady is trying to get something or some notoriety. I call bullcrap! Your not sleeping good huh?? I don't think you ever slept well with 8 kids!

    I could have missed it, but I didn't see where she said anything about making the wrong decision.

    The juror said the six-member, all-female jury followed Florida law and found the evidence did not warrant a murder conviction. "You can't put the man in jail even though in our hearts we felt he was guilty,'' said
    "George Zimmerman got away with murder, but you can't get away from God. And at the end of the day, he's going to have a lot of questions and answers he has to deal with," Maddy said. But, she added, "the law couldn't prove it."
    After nine hours of discussion about the evidence, Maddy said, she concluded there wasn't enough proof to convict of murder or the lesser charge of manslaughter under Florida state law.
    She said she "felt confused" because "if a person kills someone, then you get charged for it.''
    "But as the law was read to me, if you have no proof that he killed him intentionally, you can't say he's guilty,'' she added
    (emphasis mine)

    Sounds to me like she felt Zimmerman was morally responsible, but not legally. I don't however get the impression that she feels they made a mistake with the verdict.

    Of course we can't read someone minds, but if I had to guess, I would bet that once she emerged from sequester and realizing all the attention that this decision is getting, she is running for a little "cover" from backlash.

    I think this shows that the jury was a good cross-section of America, in regards to how they look at this case. Another juror said she felt that the shooting was justified. This one says it was not. In the end, they ALL came to one conclusion, one that anybody who looks at it objectively has to come to: the charges were not proven beyond a reasonable doubt, so the "not guilty" verdict was the only right one.

    I just wish we could all move on now.

    I will move ON, when the BLACK activists MOVE ON........Sorry, but Lefties always want to drag **** out like this.

    It was PROVEN beyond any doubt, that this was not about race, yet the LEFTISTS in Obama's Administration, and the LEFTISTS in the Media simply cannot believe that a THUG punk tried to go MMA on an armed citizen and that armed citizen put a cap in his butt.

    SO.........I will gladly move on, when Sharpton, and Jackson, and Obama are no longer pushing it.

    Later,

    The reason they could not convict Zimmerman is because the only other witness was shot dead though the heart. He could not tell the story and Zimmerman made sure of that!

    This stand your ground law could also apply to Trevon who was being stalked by Zimmerman for no good reason. Zimmerman was not a policeman and had no right to stalk anyone and follow them around. That's illegal in my State. There are plenty of states that have stalking laws. Zimmerman was asked not to do what he was doing by the dispatcher yet he ignored that good advise and decided to talk matters into his own hands when he got out of his vehicle and followed or chased Trevon into the darkness.

    Trevon didn't lead George back to his dads place as he had a younger brother at that place and didn't want to bring the white cracker into contact with his little brother. That was smart of him to lead the stalker away from his little brother. The little brother was home alone and the last thing you want to do is go straight home with a stranger following you first in his car and then on foot in the dark and rainy night. What would you do if someone started following you? Would you flee or stand your ground? Trevon was unarmed unless you call a bottle of Watermellon drink and a bag of skittle arms. I think not.

    Sorry guys but I have to agree with the juror that voted on the first vote in the jury room to convict Zimmerman of 2nd degree murder. The laws need to be changed in Florida to keep this type of stalking and killing from happening again.

    And Zimmerman definitely profiled the kid who he saw a a black man in a hoodie who was up to no good. But all he really saw was a kid on his way back home to watch TV with his little brother and carrying a soda and some candy. Funny how rose colored glasses change the way we see things.

    Just curious where your getting this stalking as fact idea from? The idea of a little brother being protected is news to me as well. Can you give a link? I haven't heard this...
    Zimmerman defiantly profiled the young man?? How do you know this? He didn't take the stand and say that did he?

    He wasn't stalking, he was merely following him which is perfectly legal. Here is a legal definition of stalking.

    A person who intentionally and repeatedly follows or harasses another person and who makes a credible threat, either expressed or implied, with the intent to place that person in reasonable fear of death or serious bodily harm is guilty of the crime of stalking. A person may be charged with aggravated stalking if they commit the crime of stalking while subject to a temporary restraining order, injunction against trespass, or similar order.
    Stalkers target public figures or celebrities, children, and sometimes even complete strangers. But, in most cases, a stalker is someone you know and with whom you have had a relationship. Criminal statutes which can be used in an effort to deter stalking include laws against harassment and assault, as well as a specific stalking law.

    That is how the Martin family and LEFTIST are spinning it after the horrible testimony by jeantel. AND after that crazy,. uneducated crak addicted skank basically stated that zimmerman was a pedophile on CNN, the Martin camp RAN with it.

    ALL kinds of crazy **** out there about Zimmerman and Martin thinking he was a pedo. EVEN though that never was stated in deposition, in court, in interviews or anything.

    BTW.....the Martins are PROFITING off the death of their kid. Neither had ever been to New York or LA, yet both have been multiple times.......and PAID for their interviews.

    Yea, I'm a skeptic. AND I'd be damned sure I would not be trying to spin this ********.

    They raised a kid destined to be shot dead. THEY need to face the facts......

    I think some of that pedo stuff is out there because one of Zimmerman's cousins has publically said that he molested her for years when they were younger. Who knows if it is true or not, but It isn't all coming from just the Martin family.
