anderson cooper's show. she said interesting things coming out of zimmerman's perspective. now a new. >> is coming out b29. she talked to robinerts and had a completely different perspective. we know her first name. she has not released her full name. she said: cenk: so that's really interesting. she also said. cenk: let me just give you all of her quotes and we'll discuss it: cenk: so, our lead correspondent robin is here, robin what's your reaction to the new. >>? >> my reaction is is that this is a juror who wanted in her heart to hang it up to tell us that he was guilty in her heart of murder but followed the law. i appreciate her comment. comments indicate she had a problem with the word "in tent" and that goes to a criminal justice problem not a jury problem. cenk: i felt with the first. >> had come out and said this, i'd feel much better in a accepts. they saw the evidence, felt terrible for what happened to trayvon but just couldn't get over the legal, you know, required amount of evidence, beyond a reasonable doubt. jayar, did you feel the same way? if they had all felt this way on the jury, i can live with the decis
