George Zimmerman trial juror B-29 talks to ABC

Another juror from the George Zimmerman trial will be stepping out on national television in interviews with ABC's Robin Roberts.

Juror B-29, the only minority juror from the controversial trial, is identified only as "Maddy."

She told court officials during the jury selection process she is a nurse on an Alzheimer's ward. She is married and has several children.

She lived in Chicago at the time Zimmerman shot and killed 17-year-old Trayvon Martin.

"Maddy" told court officials she doesn't watch the news and prefers realty television.

"Right when we got here, I got cable ... I love my reality shows," she told lawyers during jury selection.

Roberts conducted the interview with "Maddy" on Thursday morning after "Good Morning America."

The first portions of the interview will air on "World News With Diane Sawyer" at 6:30 p.m. Thursday on WFTV-Channel 9.

More of the exclusive interview will be seen Thursday night on "Nightline." The full interview will air Friday on "Good Morning America," which starts at 7 a.m.

Maddy is represented by Celebration attorney David Chico. Attempts to reach him Thursday were not immediately successful.

The first juror to talk to the press was B-37, who was photographed in shadows when she spoke to CNN's Anderson Cooper.

She was no doubt dragged to the Not Guilty verdict kicking and screaming all the way.

She was the juror that reporters said was least engaged, least interested in the testimony and evidence, and took the fewest notes if any.

And no doubt when the other jurors asked her for evidence from the trial for her opinions she couldn’t come up with any — only her sacred feelings.

She was probably reprimanded by the juror’s questionaire that she signed in which she agreed to set her biases aside and make her decision on the law and the evidence — and she didn’t like having to do that.

She walked in there with a premade opinion. I’ll bet the request for the evidence list was for her, to prove she can’t ignore evidence because she doesn’t want to believe Trayvon wasn’t a sweet little cherub.
