In an exclusive interview with CNN, one of the jurors in George Zimmerman’s murder trial said race was never considered during their deliberations. The woman, identified only as Juror B37, told Anderson Cooper that the fact that Trayvon Martin was Black was not an issue. “If there was another person—Spanish, white, Asian—if they came in the same situation as Trayvon did, I think George would have reacted the same way,” she said. “I think all of us thought race did not play a role. We never had that discussion. I think he just profiled him because he was the neighborhood watch and he profiled anyone that was acting strange.”
