Juror B37: "Trayvon played a huge role in his own death"

[napkinz]

Just now on CNN.

And she said all the jurors agreed on that.

Oh, and she hopes George can have a peaceful life now.

[NYC_SKP]

1. Black kids shouldn't be out at night unless it's in the broke ass ghetto.

Stupid kid.



That is how SHE feels.

[napkinz]

5. Can we remake "Twelve Angry Men"

Call it "Six Racist Morons"

[malaise]

8. Night?

It was 7.00pm

[NYC_SKP]

24. Feb 26, sunset was at 6:22 pm, but to haters like Zimmerman, blacks shouldn't be out at all.

Hell, they shouldn't be anywhere near him, at all, ever.

[etherealtruth]

2. Juror B37 is a MORON

She wears her stupidity like a crown ... bright, shiny and the first thing everyone notices.

Had she not set the murderer of a kid free, I would pity her.

[madaboutharry]

3. Well, Fuck her.

What a vile human being.

[Cali_Democrat]

4. What did he do wrong?

He was walking home from the convenience store where he bought skittles and iced tea.

He was talking on the phone.

He was heading back to the house he was staying at.

He didn't break into any houses.

He didn't steal anything.

He was stalked and accosted by some stranger.

So what the FUCK did he do wrong?

[napkinz]

10. "So what the FUCK did he do wrong?"

The answer is so obvious.

He was BLACK!

(That's still a crime in this country, as this case evinces.)

[roamer65]

14. There you go bringing up facts again.

[moondust]

6. They took O'Mara's bait and...

swallowed the hook.

[napkinz]

16. I doubt much bait was required ...

They already had "preconceived notions" when they were selected; they had a mindset about "young black males" ... we now know there never was a chance for justice.

[etherealtruth]

17. Nah, the pond was stocked

He didn't even need bait

[Spazito]

28. +1 n/t

[alcibiades_mystery]

20. When you start out an event as a racist shithead, you usually end up the event the same way

This had almost nothing to do with the lawyers' arguments, except to the extent that the defense lawyers encouraged and embraced their audience's racism.

These people are all fucking trash.

[janlyn]

7. That's right,

obviously she feels Trayvon didn't know his place. After all if your a black teenager you are supposed to submit to some stranger confronting you at night , in the dark.

I am never surprised by bigoted people, but am always appalled that people actually think this way!!!

[calimary]

15. Just so sad. So disgraceful. So shameful! It's hard to believe, much less to accept.

Shameful! I'm just ashamed. So tired of the stupid. Bigotry seems to me to be, among many other negative things, stupid. And deeply painful and embarrassing when they're proud of it, as well.

[napkinz]

22. She has "no doubt" George feared for his life

She said this just seconds ago.

I can't believe what I'm hearing.

Am I in The Twilight Zone?

WTF!!!

(I try to avoid CNN but I need to watch and hear this. I just can't believe this is for real.)

[leftstreet]

9. Yay! One less Boy-of-Color for her to worry about !!

What a vile piece of shit she is

[quinnox]

11. these jurors may as well have been drawn from the KKK

Zimmerman was good as gold the moment they sat down to start the trial.

[uppityperson]

12. What "huge role" did he play? Leaving the house during supper?

[napkinz]

18. not just a role, but HUGE role

I'm sure if she were to put that in writing, it would read:

"Trayvon played a hugh role in his own death."

I'm sure we know what message forums and blogs she frequents.

[Rectangle]

13. Isn't there grounds for a Mistrial here somewhere?

I mean, this juror, in her own words, arrived at a verdict ignoring the
Judges instructions. And, perhaps, got the other jurors and to see it
her way.

Right?

[TDale313]

21. Unfortunately, probably not.

Double jeopardy is pretty all-encompassing in making sure the Prosecution doesn't get a redo once there's been a not guilty verdict.

[TDale313]

19. This truly makes me sick.

What a sorry excuse for a human being. How anyone can blame this child for causing his own death is just beyond me. I just literally can't process that level of ignorance and lack of humanity.

[avebury]

23. People like her do not understand the wisdom of

keeping your mouth shut.

People like this juror and Zimmerman are narcissistic and dumber then a sack of rocks because they shoot their mouths off with out any clue as to how people will react to what they are saying. She has cast a really dark cloud over the jurors of this case and their deliberations. The other jurors have got to be really ticked off at her by now.

If her name is ever revealed she will become a pariah to a lot of people. She won't care though because she will never get it.

[napkinz]

26. actually, she shouldn't keep her mouth shut ...

We need to hear this.

It reminds us just how virulent and pervasive racism still is in this country.

All this talk of "living in a post-racial America" is bullsh*t.

We have the Supreme Court gutting the Voting Rights Act. Racial profiling by civilians now.

The struggle truly does continue.

[avebury]

33. I totally agree with you. People like her are clueless

and experience motor mouth syndrome. I want all the ugly details to come out because it was a total travesty that reaches far beyond the Martin family. I can't imagine have children and never knowing whether or not they will make it home safely. So many parents live that fear every day and we are now in the 21st Century.

[enough]

25. I am trying very hard not to feel the pull of violent hatred with every new quote from this woman.

It seems to be getting harder.

[tallahasseedem]

27. This makes me physically ill.

There are no words for this. Just none.

[chowder66]

29. She may be speaking for all of them or she may not.

I will be very interested if any of the other jurors come out and say "Wait a minute, she doesn't speak for me!".
While they all came to the same verdict, they may not have all gotten there in the way she describes.

I am wary of making accusations about the five other people when we have only heard from one. I don't trust this one at all; mainly because she sure seems more than happy to be "doing the circuit" right out of the gate.

I can't even imagine how the friends and family of Trayvon feel if they are hearing this woman. She needs to go back to her life as she said she would. It's all just so damn sad.

[Horse with no Name]

38. I agree...initially, only 3 thought he was not guilty

the other 3 thought there was a degree of guilt.

Makes me wonder if her "revelations" might force one of them to come out of hiding to set the record straight?

Like perhaps they were bullied into a not guilty verdict by someone else's reinterpretation of the judges instructions...someone whose husband is an attorney... (oh someone like...juror B37?)

[chowder66]

39. Yep. I concur

Maybe not the bullying part so much; If someone acts like they really know the law and throw around that their husband is a lawyer to bolster their statement then no bullying would be necessary…but you never know.

[napkinz]

44. did the prosecution know before they agreed on her selection that ...

her husband is an attorney?

[napkinz]

30. the quote of the year ...

[Glimmer of Hope]

31. Disgusting piece of shit she is.

[steve2470]

32. Racist, period. So terrible she was a juror nt

[napkinz]

35. She claims the other five jurors shared her view

... that Trayvon played a "huge role" in his own death.

So make that SIX racist jurors.

[steve2470]

37. if she is correct, you are also correct nt

[mzmolly]

34. Just when you think you can't get any

more disgusted.

[Lex]

36. I mean, yeah, clearly he had the nerve to have brown skin so he contributed to his own

suspiciousness, and death, right there. Good grief.

[pokerfan]

40. George's "heart was in the right place"

He just didn't use “good judgment” and she thinks that George “learned his lesson” and will be “more responsible” in the future.

[napkinz]

42. sickening

she also expressed hope that he would have a peaceful life now

[Robbins]

41. Case

It's clear to me these were racist women on that jury.Who are of mindset blacks walking aroind are dangeras.

Trayvon martin was the victim here.Not george Zimmerman.

Blaming victim for his death?That's BS.

Calling Zimmerman george also tells me all I need to know on mindset of this jury.

For the record I am white liberal.

[Skwmom]

43. If Trayvon played a "huge" role, did Zimmerman play a minor role? n/t

[Isoldeblue]

45. I am of the belief

that she and maybe the other two, bullied the three that believed gz was guilty into the ng verdict. She may have said that if you want to continue to live in the Sanford area peacefully, you better not find him guilty.

I am thinking of the woman who recently moved there from Chicago. I bet she's sorry that she picked that area to live......

[moondust]

48. The smaller the jury

the easier for one or two members to dominate and bully everyone else into submission.

I was also concerned that there were some management type jurors but not much in the way of working class jurors. Thus the cards were seemingly stacked somewhat in favor of the authoritarian figure, Zimmerman.

[louslobbs]

46. What rationally thinking person, who has even a little common sense, thinks this way? She should

really just be quiet now and just go and write her book, because the more she speaks, the more she shows her lack of common sense and rudimentary thinking abilities. Her 15 minutes of shame should have ended after speaking to Anderson Cooper. She's out there as Juror B37 making a name for herself in order to sell her crappy book, which coincidentally, will probably be called Juror B37 and The Zimmerman Trial. What an opportunist dirt bag.
Lou

[napkinz]

50. someone posted in another thread that her book deal is dead

I hope this is true.

[louslobbs]

57. Good, I hope that is true. n/t

Lou

[TorchTheWitch]

47. I'm really believing this moron was a ringer

It's clear she paid no attention to the trial at all. She claimed that friend of Zimmerman's that was the Vietnam Vet and talked about combat screaming was the ME. Huh??? She ignored an admonition by the judge during trial to disregard Serino's saying that he believed Zimmerman was telling the truth and said that his saying that was a BIG reason she voted not guilty. She claimed the dispatcher egged him on to get out of the car and follow Martin when the dispatcher was the one that told him not to. She said although she believed that Zimmerman fabricated and embellished a lot of his story she found him to be truthful. HUH? Does she not know that to fabricate means to LIE??? She parroted lines from the defense counsel almost word for word. Despite the attorneys meticulously going over the time line to show that two minutes between the end of the dispatch phone call with Zimmerman and the end of the phone call Rachel had with Martin where no one but Martin and Zimmerman knew what happened she didn't believe Rachel's testimony because she couldn't understand why Rachel's and Martin's phone call was not recorded by the dispatcher. What. The. Fuck???? She ignored every bit of physical evidence. She claimed that none of the dozens of prosecution witnesses were believable yet also says that the eye and ear witnesses were truthful about what little they saw or heard (somehow she wants it both ways - either they were truthful to her or they weren't). Right out of Freeperland she claimed that it was late at night and pouring rain despite NEITHER the prosecution nor the defense saying this. Over and over again it was said that it was drizzling rain and that the whole encounter took place between 7:09pm and 7:16pm. In no one's universe is that late at night... but everyone in intertube land believed it was late at night thanks to the dipshitted liars in Freeperland.

Out of all this I'm curious about her ignoring the judge's admonition to the jurors to disregard Serino's saying that he believed Zimmerman to be truthful and said that she relied heavily on that statement. Is this not juror misconduct? How can ignoring a judge's admonition to disregard certain testimony and using that testimony heavily in deciding guilty or not guilty NOT be considered juror misconduct?

[bluestate10]

49. My feeling is that she and the other five jurors will be exposed by name. It is just a matter

of time. Juror B37 has opened up a hornet's nest that will consume her life as she knows it and lay bare her obvious racism.

[napkinz]

51. I heard more today ...

B37 says Trayvon should have walked away from the situation.

HELLO ... Trayvon tried to RUN from what I've read. Zimmerman PURSUED him.

Ugh!

[napkinz]

52. On Politics Nation right now ...

Rev Al covering the story about the statement regarding "huge role" in his own death.

[Zoeisright]

53. I just wish there was a hell so that ignorant bitch

would burn in it. She's dumber than fuck and a complete racist.

[Rex]

54. How did he do that? Can she explain that?

Wow B37 just CANNOT keep from spilling the beans on how totally UNFAIR that trial was! They had Martin painted as guilty from the moment the trial started!

Funny, I thought it was Zimmerman that was on trial...little did I realize he hit the trifecta.

[Donald Ian Rankin]

55. We'll almost certainly never have enough evidence to know.

*If* Zimmerman's story was wholly or mostly accurate, and Martin confronted and attacked him, then yes, Martin was responsible for his own death, but I very much doubt if we'll ever have enough evidence to be sure whether or not that's true.

[Blue_Tires]

56. She needs to FOAD once and for all...

[Crunchy Frog]

58. If Zimmie doesn't get to enjoy a peaceful life now,

he did everything to bring it on himself.

[LittleBlue]

59. I'm guessing she based this on the photos

of Z's broken nose and Good's testimony.

Without a witness to the whole confrontation, it is impossible to be certain that Trayvon was responsible.

[XemaSab]

60. Which is why Z was acquitted

[LittleBlue]

61. Yep

Reasonable doubt under the jury instructions? OK. Certainty that Trayvon caused his own death is a big stretch with no conclusive evidence.

[Cha]

62. A huge role by being Black?!!! zimmerman wil not

have a "peaceful life", he knows what he did, unless he's a sociopath.. oh, wait.

How long is her freaking 15 minutes going to last? Is this the one who the other jurors gave out a statement and said she speaks for herself?

[truth2power]

63. Will someone please tell that imbecile to STFU?...

Her 15 minutes of fame are over as far as I'm concerned.

[Little Star]

64. She is an ignorant, racist piece of shit that needs to STFU!!!
