Juror B-29 proves that the George Zimmerman jury needed diversity of all kinds

Cenk Uygur talks to Ana Kasparian, Jayar Jackson, and TYT producer and legal analyst Robin Sax about the latest aftermath from the George Zimmerman trial.

On Thursday, Juror B-29, the jury’s sole minority member, gave an interview with ABC News in which she said that Zimmerman “got away with murder” and that she “fought to the end” for a second-degree murder conviction, nearly causing a hung jury.

“Think about it, if you are a white person living in this area in Florida, you have a very different experience than a black person living in this area in Florida,” Kasparian says.

The panel agrees that lack of racial diversity on the jury was one of many problems. “This woman is a mom to eight children,” Sax points out. “Juror B-37 has no children. Maybe it’s not about race, maybe it’s being a parent.”
