In the wake of the George and Shellie Zimmerman domestic dispute, an unlikely source is coming forth to give her two cents on who’s to blame for the mess.
Juror B29, the woman who came forward and admitted she wanted to convict Zimmerman but was pressured to hand down the acquittal, is now saying that Shellie has a real reason to be scared of her husband – she knows what he’s capable of.
“I believe that uh–his wife, she knows exactly what is–what George Zimmerman’s capable of doing,” the juror known as “Maddy” told Rev. Sharpton on Tuesday’s PoliticsNation, after listening to Shellie Zimmerman’s 911 recording. “And maybe she must have been more fearful because she knows the truth is someone got killed a couple of years ago, over, you know, probably his anger, or over the situation that went about it.”
On the show, she also talked about the criticism she received for not standing up and sticking with her initial guilty verdict for the former neighborhood watch volunteer.
“If I go with my heart, which is one of the things that the lawyers said that we couldn’t do, was go with our heart, or we couldn’t assume or there was no what ifs,” she said. “So since I couldn’t do that, I had to go by what the law said and the law said that he was not guilty.”
“I think the only way that this is going to change is that if we change the law,” she said.
“To be honest with you, the more we think about what I could have done, we’re wasting more time. I want to know what we should do now,” she added later. “I mean, what, what could I do now to help, to change the law, what could I do to change the situation so it doesn’t happen to another child.”
“I want to know what I could do to make a difference. I can’t continue to give George Zimmerman all that power, where he continues and everybody keeps talking about him. Let’s talk about what we can do to change, to make a difference, to do something, because that’s what I want to do.”
She even had a message for Zimmerman, as he faces possible charges for the domestic dispute that resulted in a broken iPad, a physical altercation, and the whole world watching.
“I really would like to ask George Zimmerman if he’s happy. I mean, are you happy? Because I don’t understand how someone can continue to keep a smile like that with all the hurt he has caused.”
Wow. What do you guys think about juror B29’s comments?
