14 DAY TRIAL // Juror B37 in the George Zimmerman trial has described the difficult deliberation process in the murder case.
The unidentified juror made headlines for trying to get a book deal for a work in which she would discuss the case and for being dropped by her literary agent, Sharlene Martin at Martin Literary Management LLC.
USA Today reports she believes that Zimmerman shouldn't have gotten out of his vehicle in pursue of Trayvon Martin on the night of the fatal shooting.
"I think he has every right to carry a gun. I think it's everyone's right to carry a gun" if they are responsible in using it, she says.
As for Zimmerman, she believes that he is "a man whose heart was in the right place," but got caught up in a physical altercation with the victim and reacted out of fear.
The identity of Juror B37 has been sealed, as have those of the other members of the jury. There is information about her being Caucasian and middle aged.
She is married to an attorney that works with shuttle and rocket companies on activities in outer space. The juror's father was an Air Force captain.
She believes George Zimmerman's account of the night of the murder is accurate, after reviewing the testimony at hand.
"I think George was pretty consistent and told the truth basically," she says.
As for the 911 tape featuring someone screaming out while being beaten, she thinks that she can hear the defendant's voice on the recording.
"They are your kids you want to believe they are innocent," she notes about the testimony given by Trayvon's mother concerning the tape.
She also describes the jurors bursting into tears after making their decision and alerting the bailiff.
"It was just hard thinking that someone had lost their life and nothing else could be done about it. [...] It's a tragedy that this happened," she recalls.
