BREAKING NEWS: Zimmerman juror gets book agent!
We'll soon know who she is is! According to NBC News; One of the six anonymous jurors who acquitted George Zimmerman of second-degree murder in the death of Trayvon Martin has signed with a literary agent to write a book about the case less than 48 hours after the verdict.
The woman, known only as Juror B37 under court order, will enlist her husband, an attorney who works in the aerospace industry, as her co-author, agent Sharlene Martin said in a statement Monday.
“My hope is that people will read Juror B37’s book … and understand the commitment it takes to serve and be sequestered on a jury in a highly publicized murder trial and how important, despite one’s personal viewpoints, it is to follow the letter of the law,” Martin said.
“It could open a whole new dialogue about laws that may need to be revised and revamped to suit a 21st century way of life,” she added. “The reader will also learn why the jurors had no option but to find Zimmerman not guilty due to the manner in which he was charged and the content of the jury instructions.”
The jurors, who were sequestered during the trial, deliberated about 16 hours before finding Zimmerman not guilty. He said he fired his 9mm pistol in self-defense after Martin, who did not have a gun, attacked him on Feb. 26, 2012 in Sanford, Fla.
The verdict has already sparked several large rallies and marches and there are plans for a 100-city vigil next weekend. The agent said the juror has not decided whether to reveal her identity “given the sensitivity of the verdict and the outpouring of mixed reactions by the American public.”
The woman has lived in the Sanford, Fla., area for 18 years and has two daughters – a 24-year-old pet groomer and a 27-year-old college student. During jury selection, she said she had been called for jury duty four times previously but never selected to sit on a case.
Martin has represented other authors involved in big trials, including the O.J. Simpson, Amanda Knox and Jodi Arias cases.
WOW…..Just simply WOW!
