she should just shut up already. If she truly believed that she might have considered the precedent she helped set with this verdict.

B37 needs to clue in that the nation hates her ignorant, racist ass so its best to let things settle down

she doesn't know it, but she's indirectly proving how much of a joke the trial was...

She didn't add that if her 'black friend' had lost a son she'd feel really awful, whether or not he 'deserved' it.

Obviously, she did not. Did she assume most of America believed and perceived things as she does? Mercifully, was quite wrong

by a woman who does not give a damn about the Martin family or the killing of their son. Who does care, however, about the $$$ she and her attorney husband are losing out on because profiting of the dead body of Trayvon Martin turns out to be despicable in the eyes of the public.

This statement only strengthens my view of this vile woman.

Putting aside the fact she believed everything GZ said and believed his attorney's take on what happened that night, she is also part of a jury that requested clarification on manslaughter and never followed up on that request.
