Juror B37 Gives Insight on Not Guilty Verdict in Zimmerman Trial

Juror B37 in the George Zimmerman trial who is already planning to write a book says the Sanford police detective who investigated the case made a big impression on her.

The woman known as Juror B37 told CNN’s Anderson Cooper Monday evening that Detective Chris Serino would have been used to dealing with murders and similar cases. He would have known how to spot a liar, and yet he testified that he believed Zimmerman.

The juror also said Rachel Jeantel’s testimony didn’t seem very credible, and that defense attorney Don West’s joke during opening statements wasn’t funny. Jeantel was talking with Trayvon Martin before he was fatally shot by Zimmerman, a neighborhood watch volunteer who claimed self-defense. Zimmerman was acquitted Saturday of second-degree murder in the shooting.

Juror B37 said all but one juror believed it was Zimmerman screaming for help on the 911 call based on the medical evidence and testimony submitted in court. The testimony of both George’s and Trayvon’s parents canceled each other out.

She also completely schooled Anderson Cooper on the right of self-protection, and obviously did not buy the depiction of Trayvon Martin as a little boy, but that he was the aggressor.
