George Zimmerman juror: Employer wants to help
A Central Florida employer is offering a job to the George Zimmerman juror who says her life was ruined by the trial.
Doug Kaplan, managing partner at Gravis Marketing, said an "Inside Edition" report on juror Maddy's plight "hit a nerve."
Maddy said she had a lost friends and a full-time nursing home job because she served on the jury that acquitted Zimmerman in Trayvon Martin's fatal shooting. Maddy also revealed that she has received death threats and that her family is close to being evicted from her four-bedroom home in Seminole County.
"I can help the juror with employment if needed," Kaplan said in an email to me. "We are a political polling and consulting firm in Winter Springs, and have a call center that makes outbound phone calls. I think when someone does civic duty, to have to deal with this nonsense is un-American."

I'm glad she's going to have a job to help her out of the situation, but aside from that, I see a lot of question marks.

(11,589 posts)This is free PR for Gravis -- who really took a hit on reputation last year, IMO.
He's a scam artist -- one of the reason why he got a PPR here on DU. Grantcart and a few others exposed that *firm* for the trash they were last year before the election.
I begrudge no one for being employed, but this has a stank about it.
