Omarosa Manigault Reacts To B37 Juror Comments On Zimmerman Verdict, 'Despicable' She Says (VIDEOS)
Celebrity Apprentice star Omarosa Manigault isn't happy about the "insensitive" comments made by Juror B37, one of the six jurors on the George Zimmerman trial.
Juror B37 was one of the six women who voted to have Zimmerman acquitted for the February, 2012 murder of unarmed teen Trayvon Martin, who revealed on during her CNN interview on Anderson Cooper 360 that she is "101% sure that Zimmerman should have done what he did."
Manigault called the juror's comment "despicable."
The reality star-- whose brother was shot and killed in 2011-- told HLNTV that she thought it was "absolutely despicable for [juror B37] to speak out in such a way without being informed and [for] blaming the victim for ultimately what happened to him."
"I mean, I got sick in my stomach because she really didn't understand the intricacies of the case or understand how people in the public were feeling," she added. "High emotions, high drama."
Manigault referenced the backlash the juror received following her comments to validate her point: "People really responded negatively to everything she said," she explained.
The juror lost a book deal after she made what many felt were insensitive comments about the victim.
The unidentified woman told Cooper for a two-part special that aired on Monday and Tuesday night that she felt Zimmerman was "justified" in shooting the unarmed 17-year-old. After she said she felt he was well within his rights, Juror B37 also told CNN she wanted to find Zimmerman guilty of "not using his senses."
The juror shocked Cooper and the show's viewers when she said, "You can't charge him with anything because he didn't do anything unlawful."
"I was "101% sure that Zimmerman should have done what he did," she added.
Zimmerman was acquitted after he was found not guilty by a jury in Seminole, Fla. on July 13. He faced multiple charges in the second-degree murder trial, which began on June 24. He also faced manslaughter and third-degree felony murder charges. Zimmerman wasn't arrested for Martin's killing, initially, which sparked protests around the country. The chief of Sanford's police department resigned amid the backlash. Zimmerman was eventually arrested and charged 44 days after the shooting on April 11, 2012.
The acquittal has sinced sparked dozens of protests around the country.
