4 Zimmerman jurors: "The opinions of Juror B-37, expressed on the Anderson Cooper show were her own."

========

UPDATE:

Here is their statement in full:

We, the undersigned jurors, understand there is a great deal of interest in this case. But we ask you to remember that we are not public officials and we did not invite this type of attention into our lives. We also wish to point out that the opinions of Juror B-37, expressed on the Anderson Cooper show were her own, and not in any way representative of the jurors listed below.

Serving on this jury has been a highly emotional and physically draining experience for each of us. The death of a teenager weighed heavily on our hearts but in the end we did what the law required us to do.

We appeal to the highest standards of your profession and ask the media to respect our privacy and give us time to process what we have been through.

1. Can't someone tell us who B37 is? It seems to me that if one if going to use a 17 year-old boy's

corpse, and goes on a media spree...one should not remain anonymous.

[TDale313]

2. Unsurprising they might want to..,

Distance themselves from her.

[Ninga]

5. cowards all of them....they don't want to be associated with her now? Fuck that, how about

standing up to her in the jury room?

Weak, sad, sisters the whole entire lot of them.

[enough]

7. +1 (nt)

[HardTimes99]

10. I was wondering if the other 5 jurors seemed as whack-a-doo as B37. I did not

watch the trial or jury selection, preferring instead to read about it here and on DailyKos.

This B37 juror seems confused by pretty elementary stuff like which events occurred first in a sequence or timeline of events. I'm wondering why none of the other 5 jurors mentioned her cognitive deficit(s) to the judge. I think jurors can be removed even after deliberations begin if they prove themselves unable to deliberate.

Has the foreperson been identified yet?

12. I can't agree more. They have no courage at all. Their decision will follow them to their

graves.

[RedCappedBandit]

18. +2

[Justitia]

21. Amen. -eom

[BlancheSplanchnik]

25. couldn't agree more.

I'm only reading about the whole mess here on DU. But I know enough about integrity to know: you stand up to fuckwads!!!!! Goddammit, what in hell is their fucking excuse?????????

Fucking ... fuck ....

3. Saw this on Pierce Morgan show

[Baitball Blogger]

6. It gets curiouser and curiouser.

[DJ13]

8. Doesnt matter at this point

They obviously agreed with her beliefs long enough to find him not guilty.

9. Here is a link to the article

13. Thanks, had already updated OP.

[Spazito]

11. Well, on the one key 'opinion', the opinion that mattered...

they were in full agreement with her so pardon me if I take what they have said in their statement with a truck load of salt.

[99Forever]

14. They put a murderer back on the streets and...

... handed his murder weapon back to him. Fuck them all, may they never have a moments peace again in their lives.

[Rex]

15. But you guys all agreed on the final verdict.

So that's nice and all.

Really, B37 shouldn't speak for A B C or D much less any numbers. I agree, please don't exploit the event, since you didn't really ask for this attention. Just own your decision.

We all are here, despite being pissed off and mad.

[badtoworse]

16. They did what they had to do and it's over.

I can understand why they might want to distance themselves from B37, but if they want to remain unanonymous (and I would), they is their right.

[JI7]

17. fuck them, you all voted with her, at the very least they let her influence them

they saw the negative reaction to her BS so are trying to do this to make themselves look good.

[RedCappedBandit]

19. They are eternally connected to B37, now they can deal with it.

Either way, I'm not sure I see the point of this statement, considering they're all anonymous. They don't exactly need to appeal for privacy.

[coeur_de_lion]

20. What hapened, I wonder to juror # 6?

We heard from B-37, the one who tried to get a book deal, then 4 others.

Wonder why the 6th juror didn't join in on that statement?

[Spazito]

22. The juror that didn't sign the statement is B29

description from HLN bio:

B29, female, appears black or hispanic, married 10 years, 8 children, moved to Florida 4 months ago, nursing assistant for Alzheimer's and dementia patients, Sequestration would be "hard to be away from the kids. Mentally, it would be fine."

[coeur_de_lion]

24. Really, really interesting

The only person who did not make some kind of statement is also the only one who is not white.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

27. that looks like a pile of right wing propaganda

The image is good, but the propaganda techniques they use are so heavy handed, blatant lies, it's really nauseating. Literally, makes my stomach churn. Yecch!!!

scary ((((((ANTI-GUN NUTS are SCARY )))))))))

Give me a fucking break.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

26. what a classic case of "COVER UR ASS! STAT!!"

Remarkable.

And vomitorious.

[fortyfeetunder]

28. "Process what we have been through"

All I saw was a rushed judgment. Was it that strenuous?
