A juror from the George Zimmerman trial said a holdout on the jury "wanted to find him guilty of something, but couldn't because of the way the law is written."
The six-person, all-female jury found Zimmerman not guilty in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin after more than 16 hours of deliberations.
Juror B37, speaking exclusively to CNN's "Anderson Cooper 360," stressed that the jurors took their responsibility seriously.
"I don't want people to think that we didn't think about this, and we didn't care about Trayvon Martin, because we did. We're very sad that it happened to him," she said.
