Zimmerman Juror B37 To Write Book On Trial – To Profit on Blood of Trayvon Martin



The former juror, still identified only by her court designation of B37, and her husband reached out to Sharlene Martin, president of Martin Literary Management, on July 14, one day after Zimmerman was found not guilty, according to Martin. 

The identities of the jurors have been sealed by the court and Martin said in a statement, "It is not known whether they will ... decide to reveal their identities given the sensitivity of the verdict and the outpouring of mixed reactions by the American public." 

The not guilty verdict in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin, a black teenager, has triggered outrage and peaceful protests in Florida and elsewhere. 

The woman is expected to write about her experience as a juror in the racially charged trial. She is currently working with Martin on writing a book proposal. 

"My hope is that people will read Juror B37's book, written with her attorney husband, and understand the commitment it takes to serve and be sequestered on a jury in a highly publicized murder trial and how important, despite one's personal viewpoints, it is to follow the letter of the law," Sharlene Martin wrote.
