Juror Who Let Zimmerman Get Away with Murder: He Got Away With Murder
Just days after she and five other women acquitted George Zimmerman for killing Trayvon Martin, juror B29, who calls herself "Maddy," said in an interview with ABC News that Zimmerman "got away with murder," and that she feels she owes an apology to Martin's parents.
Despite the prosecution's claim the Zimmerman profiled Martin because he was black, Maddy said the case was never about race to her, although she didn't want to speak for her fellow jurors.
But her feelings about Zimmerman's actions are clear.
"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] the law couldn't prove it."
Despite having been empowered to make sure Zimmerman didn't get away with murder, Maddy, who believes the case should not have gone to trial in the first place, says she ended up voting to acquit because the evidence did not prove Zimmerman was a murderer under Florida law.
Nevertheless, Maddy says she wishes she could give an apology to Trayvon Martin's mother and father, as she feels "like I let them down."
