A couple of the jurors were on an all-day fishing trip – looking for an excuse to put Zimmerman in jail.
An initial vote was split. Three of the jurors first voted Zimmerman was guilty, while three voted he was not guilty, she said. Juror B37 was among those who believed he was not guilty from the start.
“There was a couple of them in there that wanted to find him guilty of something and after hours and hours and hours of deliberating over the law, and reading it over and over and over again, we decided there’s just no way, other place to go,” she said.

Kruidbos’ attorneys have already announced a lawsuit.
Unless Zimmerman beat himself in the face and back of the head what was the obvious answer? Not guilty.
And he was in a red jacket and several witnesses saw the guy in red on the ground and the cop at the scene said his jacket was soaking wet and had grass stains. Certainly reasonable doubt to say the least that he could have been the one on top.

They were women.
They were average citizens.
A young person was shot dead.
Probably a very reasonable start to jury deliberations under those conditions. Obviously, once the deliberations actually began in earnest and the evidence was reviewed and the judges instructions were restated, the appropriate judgement was rendered.
I’ve never been on a jury that started off unanimous the first time around.
Thank God for America if you’re not asked to be on another one. The “young person” that was shot dead asked for it. You always get what you spoil for.
Hey, literary genius, “judgement” is spelled judgment, unless of course you live in Sanford, Florida or any other Eric Holder bastion of left-wing law-enforcement.
Thank God there were a few good women on the jury with a set of balls. De la Rionda should sit up and take notice.
