their child s blame, to blame for their death? i think that was a very insensitive statement coming from her, from the beginning of the trial, she had her mind made up. you believe she had her mind made up from the beginning of the trial? no doubt. no doubt. as you know, the juror b-37 and assuming the other jurors as well didn t discuss race in the jury room. she clearly does not believe that race played any role in the profiling of trayvon martin at any level in this case. what do you think of that? i think that s a joke. because he clearly said in the 911 calls that it was a black teenager, an african-american teenager, so that was the profile. trayvon had every right to be in that community. i don t understand why she wouldn t see that, but then again, there s the disconnect.
absolutely and the conversation evolves. as sybrina says we have to take something negative and find something positive. we have to ask the department of justice can little black and brown boys walk down the street and not have private citizens with guns profile and follow them and confront them because we need to know the law because we need to know what to tell our children, and if that is not the law, then the killer of trayvon martin should be held accountable for violating his civil rights. because he had every legal right to walk down that neighborhood sidewalk and not be profiled and confronted. yet, as you know, the juror b-37 and i m assuming other jurors as well didn t discuss race in the jury room. she clearly does not believe that race played any role in the profiling of trayvon martin at any level in this case. let s play that. do you feel that george
ben? i ll say we ve always said this was going to be a witness test on how far we have come in equal justice because you want to believe no matter with who is on a jury that the victim, whoever they may be, can get a fair trial, and we were hoping for that, but as mr. martin was eluding to, they never saw trayvon s perspective. they never looked when you listen to the person you interviewed, they always looked at it from the adult perspective. they never looked at it from a child perspective, trying to get home running with objective evidence and that trayvon was defending his life. he went to his grave not knowing who this creepy strange man was. we got to take a quick break. when we come back, i want to talk more about what the jury perceived. as you know, i interviewed juror b-37. i ll play a few of the things she said and have you respond to
enough evidence there, no matter who was on that jury, to convict him of second-degree murder. and when you think about it, i think they took in account what george zimmerman said was the truth. trayvon wasn t here to tell his story. but the mindset of that jury, they, some of them had their minds made up no matter what story was told. juror b-37, i assume the other jurors as well, didn t discuss race in the jury room. according to yoor juror b-37. i want to play something she said. she clearly does not believe race played a role in the profiling of trayvon martin, any level in this case. let s play that. do you feel george zimmerman racially profull-timed tra prof martin? do you think race played a decision, a role in his view of trayvon martin as suspicious?
involved, lobbyist, legislators and know who is in charge. vote, stand up, vote, stay educated and show up to jury selection. i m a big proponent to that. i wish i would be picked one day but i won t be. it tallies to what juror b-37 said. she said my prayers with those who have the influence and power that modify the laws that left me with no option other than not guilty that remain in the instructions. no other family should endure what the martin family endured. it totally concur with what you just said because, you know, in just though it may seem, you can t really blame george zimmerman. he s been well-defended under the current law yeah, and i and if the law gets changed and another person does the same thing, maybe held to a different legal standard. and honestly, that s what a lot of victims and survivors do in the aftermath of their tragedy is they go on to ever the difference and pave the way for future victims because that s how laws get changed.
