George Zimmerman juror B-37 drops plans to write book, agent says



(Reuters) - One of the six jurors in the George Zimmerman trial has abandoned her plans to write a book explaining why she found him not guilty of murder in the shooting of unarmed teenager Trayvon Martin, her literary agent said on Monday.

The jury's decision triggered protests across the United States by activists who said Martin was targeted because he was black.

Unidentified juror B-37 had signed with Martin Literary Management, an agency based in Mercer Island, Washington, the firm's president, Sharlene Martin, said in a statement on Monday.

The juror had planned to write the book with her husband, who is an attorney, explaining how the jury had "no option" but to find Zimmerman not guilty, but she subsequently decided not to proceed with publication, Martin added later.

That the majority of Americans are disgusted with all of the shit coming out of Florida and that we just won't buy her pos book? That she looks like a greedy bitch? Somehow, I think that may have entered into the decision.
Btw, if anyone is offended by my use of a certain word, too bad. I am standing my ground.
