Excellent analysis, JG. Thank you for putting it in perspective.
This is yet another "victim" that has been so thoroughly brainwashed that she really doesn't understand the conflict in what she said. Unfortunately, neither will the other "victims" and the headlines will only read "He got away with murder" so as to further the dying narrative.
When the other jurors were apparently patient enough to take her step-by-step through the evidence and law, Maddy was clearly intelligent enough to understand the only true verdict that could be rendered. Once released from service, her early "victim" imprinting once again took over her thought process.
It's obvious to me that B29 wanted to convict Zimmerman based on her emotions rather than on the evidence, but was convinced by the other jurors to consider ONLY the evidence. She's still upset because of her emotions, emotions stirred in her by the media that was twisting facts to get higher ratings. Her emotions are also formed by her preconceived notion that anytime a person shoots and kills another person, they (automatically) should be charged with a crime. She's not aware of how the law operates in those cases.
BTW, in reading many comments about this case, it has become apparent to me that a good many (more than I would have guessed) have the opinion that killing someone automatically makes one a murderer and should be arrested and charged immediately without any furthe ado. To them, the killing is all the evidence needed. These people are obviously not aware that all murders are homicides, but all homicides are not murder. I don't think the idea of self defense has any effect upon their logic or opinion.
