The only minority juror on the Zimmerman jury spoke to ABC’s Good Morning America about the trial, saying George Zimmerman “got away with murder” and should apologize to Trayvon Martin’s parents.

“You can’t put the man in jail even though in our hearts we felt he was guilty,” said juror B29 of the trial. “But we had to grab our hearts and put it aside and look at the evidence.”

She says the prosecution did not prove George Zimmerman’s guilt and that she and the other jurors had to follow Florida law.

Juror B29, known only as “Maddy”, is a nursing assistant with eight children who recently moved to Florida from Chicago. Maddy, 36, is Puerto Rican, and was the only minority juror in the trial.

Maddy says although Trayvon Martin was black and George Zimmerman was part white and part Hispanic, the case was never about race to her.

Even though she voted to acquit Zimmerman, Maddy made it clear that she feels Zimmerman’s actions were wrong.

“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.”

Maddy says she was initially in favor of convicting Zimmerman of second degree murder.

“I was the juror that was going to give them the hung jury. I fought to the end,” she said.

However, Maddy says she later realized that there wasn’t enough evidence to convict Zimmerman under Florida law.

“That’s where I felt confused, where if a person kills someone, then you get charged for it,” Maddy said. “But as the law was read to me, if you have no proof that he killed him intentionally, you can’t say he’s guilty.”

“I felt like I let a lot of people down, and I’m thinking to myself, ‘Did I go the right way? Did I go the wrong way?’” she said.

“As much as we were trying to find this man guilty…they give you a booklet that basically tells you the truth, and the truth is that there was nothing that we could do about it,” she said. “I feel the verdict was already told.”

Maddy now says she doesn’t believe the case should’ve even come to trial and the whole thing was a

“publicity stunt.”
