'No doubt' Zimmerman feared for his life in shooting incident
One of the jurors who found George Zimmerman not guilty of the murder of Trayvon Martin has said she had "no doubt" he feared for his life in his struggle with the unarmed black teenager.
In an interview with CNN, the woman, who was identified as Juror B37, is the first person from the jury to speak to the media about the case.
"I think George Zimmerman is a man whose heart was in the right place, but just got displaced by the vandalism in the neighborhoods and wanting to catch these people so badly that he went above and beyond what he really should have done," she said.
"But I think his heart was in the right place. It just went terribly wrong."
