One of the six jurors who acquitted George Zimmerman tells CNN that the jury was split in its first vote: three votes for not guilty, two for manslaughter and one for second-degree murder.
She said Zimmerman's "heart was in the right place" the night he killed unarmed Florida teenager Trayvon Martin but didn't use "good judgment" in confronting him. She believes Martin threw the first punch in their confrontation and that Zimmerman feared for his life.
She also said she believed it was Zimmerman's voice heard screaming for help in 911 calls.
The juror, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, appeared exclusively on CNN's "AC360,” which airs weekdays at 8 p.m. ET and 10 p.m. ET.
Martin’s friend and trial witness Rachel Jeantel is a guest live on “Piers Morgan Live,” which airs at 9 p.m. ET.
