A day after one juror in the George Zimmerman murder trial spoke out on national television, four other members of the six-woman jury released a statement separating themselves from her comments.
In their statement to CNN on Tuesday night, the jurors defended their roles in the trial.
We, the undersigned jurors, understand there is a great deal of interest in this case. But we ask you to remember that we are not public officials and we did not invite this type of attention into our lives," the jurors wrote.
"We also wish to point out that the opinions of Juror B37, expressed on the Anderson Cooper show, were her own, and not in any way representative of the jurors listed below."

But - evidently they all agreed with her "in principle" - hence the not guilty verdict.

She is very smart to keep her mouth shut. I wonder if it is the minority lady that was left who hasn't spoken out yet. I bet she is scared because either way she'll be hated for doing her job.

Should have stayed to themselves and kept their mouths shut... But NO... B37 needed notoriety and a forum to push a book. What scum.
