>> reporter: meanwhile zimmerman's parents say they are sorry for the tragedy. >> we are deeply sorry for this tragedy, deeply sorry, and we pray for that family, we pray for trayvon martin. >> reporter: zimmerman's parents say the family have received death threats and say their lives will likely never be normal again. from the reaction outside the courtroom to what was happening inside the jury room this is a cnn exclusive. juror b-37 as she was known cooper, the first to speak out n about what led to their verdict, what was going on in the video interview. she did the video in shadow fearing what would happen to her identity. at first the jury was split down the middle. >> did you take an initial vote to see where everybody was? >> we did. >> how was that first vote? >> three not guilties, one second-degree murder and two manslaughters. >> can you say, do you want to say where you were on that? >> i was not guilty. >> how do you then go about deciding things? >> we looked through pretty much everything. that's why it took us so long. we're looking through the evidence and then at the end, we just, we got done and then we just started looking at the law, what exactly we could find and how we should vote for this case. and the law became very confusing. >> tell me about that. >> it became very confusing. we had stuff thrown at us, we had the second-degree murder charge, the manslaughter charge, self-defense, stand your ground, we had gotten it down to manslaughter, because the second-degree wasn't second-degree anymore. >> so the person who felt it was second-degree going into it, you had convinced them okay it's manslaughter. >> through going through the law. and then we had sent a question to the judge. >> you sent a question out to the judge about man laugter. >> yes and what could be applied to the manslaughter. we were looking at the self-defen self-defense. one of the girls asked if you can put all the leading things into that one moment where he feels it's a matter of life or death to shoot this boy or if it was just at the heat of passion at that moment. >> so did that juror wanted to know whether the things that had brought george zimmerman to that place. >> exactly. >> not just in the minute or two before the shot went off. >> exactly. >> did you feel like you understood the instructions from the judge? because they were very complex. >> right. and that was our problem. i mean, there was a couple of them in there that wanted to find him guilty of something and after hours and hours and hours of deliberating over the law and reading it over and over and over again, we decided there's just no way, other place to go because of the heat of the moment and stand your ground and we a right to defend himself, if he felt threatened his life was going to be taken away from him or he was going to have bodily harm he had a right. >> even though it was he who had gotten out of the car, followed trayvon martin, that didn't matter in the deliberations, what mattered was the final seconds, minutes, when there was an altercation and whether or not in your mind whether the most important thing was whether or not george zimmerman felt his life was in danger. >> that's how we read the law, that's how we got to the point of everybody being not guilty. >> when you all realized okay, the last holdout juror decided okay manslaughter, we can't hold george zimmerman to manslaughter, there's something we can really hold him to, not guilty, in that jury room, what was emotionally what was that like? >> it was emotional to a point but after we had put our vote in and the bailiff had taken our vote that's when everybody started to cry. >> tell me about that. >> it's just hard. thinking that somebody lost their life and there's nothing else could be done about it. i mean, it's what happened. it's sad. it's a tragedy this happened, but it happened. and i think both were responsible for the situation they had gotten themselves into. i think both of them could have walked away. it just didn't happen. >> it's still emotional for you? >> it is, it's very emotional. >> so what do we understand from what we just heard from juror b37. we bring in criminal defense attorney danny cevallos. does it seem like they were focusing on the right things, asking the right questions in that room? >> it does. i'm always surprised what jurors focus on. on the whole i feel this juror and this jury in particular they were focusing on a lot of the proper issues, the issues they should have been focused on and i think that goes to not only the jury instructions but the attorney's submission, o'maras when he tells them what they should analyze. in this case the jury instructions and i read them with jeff toobin and we agreed they were confusing. >> if had been a guilty verdict you say something she said in the interview would have been grounds for an appeal. >> whether or not jury instructions become appealable or improper if they're so confusing as to mislead the jury and how that's defined includes does it require further clarification on an important issue and that's what we saw. the jury needed clarification on at least one issue like manslaughter so even though there are no comebacks from a not guilty verdict i have to wonder if it had gone the other way would that have been an appealable issue. it's hard to say. >> we didn't hear an answer whether or not she didn't understand them, it was just they were confusing. but it was not guilty so there's no appeal for the defense. there's a lot of talks whether they were the right jurors. we heard her say we heard her say he was guilty of not using good judgment and "we wanted to get him for something. we tried." >> it's interesting you could read it one way, i thought this juror said the jury concluded that zimmerman did some questionable things right up until the moment of the altercation, once the altercation started then it appears they included it was trayvon martin's martin he threw the first punch, he said as much. however, when she talks about zimmerman you hear the language of some kind of liability. we felt that he had done something wrong, we felt that he had gone a little too far, and i'm paraphrasing what she said but you hear the language of criminal negligence if not maybe even the depraved heart murder but i don't think it ever rose to that level. however there seem to be culpability and she says they wanted to find him guilty of something but there wasn't anything there although they ultimately concluded under the law as they understood it he didn't do anything. when you hear her talk she could go either way. >> she sounded like a lot of people outside the jury for all the things that bothered them it ultimately came down to self-defense. >> exactly. if it came down to self-defense, that's a get out of jail free card as mark o'mara observed to manslaughter and jeffrey toobin said this also, of manslaughter and second-degree murder. they went through each and every element, they adhered to their duty but boy, i mean, it's interesting to hear their walk through the path. >> and that it was very, very difficult for them and they took it seriously. danny cevallos, thanks so much. we'll have more of this exclusive interview in our next hour and remember anderson will be here in 8:00 to describe the situation to us. >> another big story we should be paying attention to in the northeast an oppressive and dangerous heat wave making life miserable for tends of millions of americans. look at this map, those in the deep red areas are in for a whole lot of hurt. it's going to be a scorcher, temperatures in the 90s but feel much hotter than just that and doesn't look like we're going to get a break any time soon. indra petersons is braving the hot temperatures with more. >> reporter: good morning. we're part of that deep red you just showed us. we're talking about the early morning hours and already 80 degrees. kind of taking a look around me, a lot of people trying to take advantage of the cooler part of the day going for the early morning jogs. they probably have to get used to it. this affects the country for a pretty much big part of the week. heat and humidity continue to pummel the east coast as a brutal heat wave sends temperatures off the charts from michigan to maryland. >> it's just really hot out here. i feel like i'm going to melt. >> reporter: the heat is no laughing matter. heat kills an average of 119 people per year and this heat wave could last all week. >> your body temperature starts to rise higher than your ability to get rid of heat, expire, cool down, your body can get into significant trouble. >> reporter: in new york a major energy company will monitor the city's electrical systems as the temperatures continue to climb. >> the heat wave impacts the system because literally it doesn't cool off. >> reporter: the high voltage from overheated systems have caused power outages throughout new york. >> this indicates there are 1,028 customers without electricity. >> reporter: in washington, d.c., blazing in the mid-90s it's dangerous for anyone outside. >> humidity gets high, every once in a while a guy will pass out. >> reporter: 50 million people are affected, figuring out how to beat the heat. >> i have air conditioning at home. >> staying in the ac. >> reporter: we're not just talking about high pressure hanging around and the warm temperatures for one day. it will stay with us for the next several days. we have a lot of concern. major cities, new york, d.c., southern new england, definitely a lot of warm, humid air to be dealing with, really throughout the week with the heat indices, you combine temperatures ten degrees above normal for july with high humidity in the afternoon we're talking about it feeling 105 degrees out there. how long is this going to stay, when are we going to see threli. that is the end of that week, that's a mixed bag could mean some severe weather so we have to watch out for that as well. another story breaking this morning, authorities in panama have seized a north korean flagship they say was carrying a cargo of undeclared weapons. barbara starr has the latest from the pentagon. what is this about? >> chris, details still come in. the panamenans said it was a north korean ship carrying weapons. the president decided to tweet a picture of it. he tweeted a photo of the cargo, it appears to be weapons in shipping containers. he is asking for an international team of inspectors to come on board this ship and find out exactly what it is. president martinelli says the north koreans had all of this hidden in a cargo of sugar, so now it remains to be scene what exactly the north koreans were up to but apparently when the panamanan seized this ship a lot of draw ma broke out, the crew resisting arrest, the captain apparently attempting suicide, according to the panamanans they got a tip from some intelligence service this cargo of weapons there. the question, who were the north koreans up to, who were they selling it to. very close to the u.s. and the p panamanians take great pride in maintaining control over the panama canal. they are not happy at all. chris? >> the big question where were the weapons, if that's what they are, where were they headed. barbara starr thanks so much. >> weapons hiding amongst brown sugar does sound a little suspicious. >> i don't think it can sound anything else but we have to learn more about it. >> barbara will be all over that. a lot of news developing at this hour, straight to michaela pereira. >> big day. making news russian president fl vladimir putin is not sympathetic to edward snowden's ordeal. he says he wants snowden out of his country asap. putin doesn't want it to affect the relations to the u.s.. a dramatic capture of the leader of the ruthless zetas cartel. his truck was stopped outside of a checkpoint sunday, he had $2 million and eight weapons when he was captured, two people were arrested. trevino faces organized crime, homicide, torture and money laundering charges. police are investigating a suspicious powder on a flight discovered in the plane's bathroom shortly before landing. flight 460 landed safely and thankfully no one was injured. controversy forming david petraeus even before he starts his next gig. now he's taking a massive pay cut. gawker reported city of university of new york was going to pay petraeus $200,000 to be a visiting professor, that's reportedly eight times what a first-time adjunct professor was paid. later that figure went down to $1. petraeus' attorney said it was never about money. a woman in china tried to squeeze between two walls to get home. she was trapped for seven hours overnight before foengds in the neighborhood found her. firefighters broke down one of the walls to cut her out. i bet she won't take the shortcut anymore. >> it's got to be more to that. >> conspiracy theory. >> they thought she was a ghost. >> trapped for seven hours is bad. it doesn't matter what led you to be in there, the poor woman. i'm happy they got her out. another example not here at home but abroad, these first responders, they just get people out of terrible situations all the time. >> every call they get you don't know what to expect. that's what amazing me about our first responders. >> thank you for what you do. when we come back cnn's exclusive interview with rachel jeantel. what was going through her
