Juror B37: There was ‘No doubt’ that George Zimmerman Feared For His Life … Believes Trayvon Martin Threw the First Punch (VIDEO)

In a CNN interview, we get a glimpse into what the perspective and thought process was inside the deliberations of the jury that came back with a not guilty verdict on all charges against George Zimmerman in the death of Trayvon Martin. Juror B37 said, they had “no doubt” that George Zimmerman feared for his life. The juror went on to say that 5 out of 6 jurors belied it was George Zimmerman who was screaming.  The female juror stated that she believes Zimmerman’s “heart was in the right place” but things just went terribly wrong. She said both had a hand in what happened that night. She also stated, both could have walked away. However, in the end the jury believed that Zimmerman feared for his life and had a right to defend himself.

From CNN:

One of the jurors who acquitted George Zimmerman said she had “no doubt” he feared for his life in the final moments of his struggle with Trayvon Martin, and that was the definitive factor in the verdict.

The woman, who was identified just as Juror B37, spoke exclusively to CNN’s “Anderson Cooper 360″ on Monday night. She is the first juror to speak publicly about the case.

She said she believes Zimmerman’s “heart was in the right place” the night he shot Martin, but that he didn’t use “good judgment” in confronting the Florida teen.

“I think George Zimmerman is a man whose heart was in the right place, but just got displaced by the vandalism in the neighborhoods, and wanting to catch these people so badly that he went above and beyond what he really should have done,” she said.

“But I think his heart was in the right place. It just went terribly wrong.”

The juror went on to say the following:

“I think George got in a little bit too deep, which he shouldn’t have been there. But Trayvon decided that he wasn’t going to let him scare him … and I think Trayvon got mad and attacked him,” she said.

“He had a right to defend himself,” she said. “If he felt threatened that his life was going to be taken away from him, or he was going to have bodily harm, he had a right.”

   The jurors did the right thing. However, because of misinformation, this juror does not understand the complete functions of a neighborhood watch program.

   Each LE agency in Florida that sponsors neighborhood watch programs should take steps to educate the public about their programs. In addition, now is a time for explaining to the public at large just what the castle doctrine and the stand your ground laws give the citizen the right to do and what is expressly forbidden.

   Note that picking up a concrete sidewalk and slamming it
   down on someone’s head is wielding a deadly weapon …
   same with slamming someone’s head down on that same
   concrete sidewalk.

   Zimmerman did nothing wrong, as neighborhood watchman he was performing his duties and voted to do so by the community. The only violation into civil rights was by Travyon Martin. George should certainly sue the Martin family. Travyon was not profiled, he caused reason for suspicion brought on by his black brothers and maybe even by him for the all the burgulary’s. The blacks, some not even knowing the facts and just following the tribal movement and those that do have the facts but ignore them. The blacks do not want to live and show any respect for any other races. What are we going to do revert back into history because they have proven themselves less than exceptable for their total disrespect and do nothing worthwhile but live off of our tax dollars. So do we put them back into the back of the bus with a security guard, or they need a bus of their own, do we go back to colored and white drinking fountains, do we go back to not busing into our neighborhoods, which they have torn up. They are tribal people and will always be. Instead of asking black families to raise their children with respect they act indifferently.. Travyon Martin should not receive any respect only remorse from the blacks because he was a criminal. Parents that didn’t care, never even bothered to report him missing for two days but yet showed up to collect 1 million dollars which they didn’t deserve. This is disgusting. We live with many nationalities in this country, all working hard, but the black race. No more racist card, from now on it doesn’t exist ,expired and not to be renewed.. No thanks to the kings of africa that sold you. If the blacks are afraid of raising their children in this society they can thank Travyon Martin and his supporters. Offer free transportation back to Africa, we don’t want
   you here, take racist Obama and Eric Holder with you.

   The white people, other existing and past generations of welcomed people are not responsible for the disgusting behavior and disrespect of black people. They don’t know how to take of anything.

   Going to boycott Florida vacations, go ahead we don’t you there anyway. Boycott orange juice, who cares, we’ll still drink it and you probably don’t.

   Go back to Travyon’s parents and find out why he was always in trouble….never much cared except when it came to show up for money…..
