The only minority on the all-female jury that acquitted George Zimmerman less than two weeks ago said, Zimmerman “got away with murder” in the fatal shooting of Trayvon Martin, an unarmed black teen.
Identified only as B-29 throughout the trial and known only as Maddy told ABC News in an exclusive interview that she feels she owes an apology to Martin’s parents.
“You can’t put the man in jail even though in our hearts we felt he was guilty,” said Maddy. “But we had to grab our hearts and put it aside and look at the evidence.”
Maddy also said, the jury was following Florida law and the evidence did not prove murder.
She said she initially wanted to convict Zimmerman of second-degree murder.
“I was the juror that was going to give them the hung jury,” she said. “I fought to the end.”
Maddy is a 36-year-old Puerto Rican nursing assistant and mother to 8 children.
