One of the six jurors who acquitted George Zimmerman appeared on CNN's Anderson Cooper 360 on Monday night, and claimed that race played no role in the killing of Trayvon Martin. The juror also added that Zimmerman has a "good heart."

The juror, known as Juror B37, appeared on the show with her appearance masked by a dark shadow. She expressed a great deal of sympathy for Zimmerman and said that she believed his version of the events that took place on the night of Feb. 26, 2012 when Martin was gunned down in Sanford, Fl.

"I think George Zimmerman is a man whose heart was in the right place, but just got displaced by the vandalism in the neighborhoods, and wanting to catch these people so badly, that he went above and beyond what he really should have done," the former juror said.

Juror B37 also mentioned that she was absolutely sure it was Zimmerman's voice calling for help on the 911 recording, not Martin's. She added that it was the 17-year-old who started the fight with Zimmerman, which resulted in his death, in her estimation.

"I feel sorry for both of them," the juror said. "I feel sorry for Trayvon, in the situation he was in. And I feel sorry for George because of the situation he got himself in."

Cooper asked the juror if Zimmerman was the kind of person she'd like as neighborhood watchman in her community. She hesitantly responded, "If he didn't go too far. ... He just didn't stop at the limitations he should have stopped at."

The juror added that Zimmerman "learned a good lesson."

In regards to the witnesses in the trial, the juror said that she didn't believe Rachel Jeantel's testimony. She said that Jeantel's lack of education and communication skills stripped her testimony of any credibility.
