Zimmerman juror abandons plans to write book on trial
A juror in the George Zimmerman murder trial has dropped plans to write a book explaining how the jury came to conclude the US neighbourhood watch volunteer was not guilty of the murder or manslaughter of Trayvon Martin.
Juror B37 had penned a deal to tell her story with Washington-based Martin Literary Management agency, but the firm's president, Sharlene Martin, confirmed the book enterprise had been abandoned.
The juror had planned to write the book with her husband, who is an attorney, but she did not explain the reasons for withdrawing the idea, according to Reuters.
