here is a interesting quote from the transcript

 
I was applauding that juror. She was saying exactly what I was thinking the entire trial.

I agree with that. Both George and trayvon made bad decisions. George's bad decision got him beat and his life (at least for the forseeable future) ruined. Trayvon's bad decision got him killed.
 
and another from the same transcript

I'm assuming you're trying to say that she didn't follow the law because she said "Stand Your Ground". But maybe you fail to realize that the words "stand his ground" were IN the jury directions.

But Zimmerman attorneys did not use the "stand your ground" law as part of their clients defense.
 
Very interesting. What I found most revealing were Cooper's questions. He seemed to really need to steer her towards CNN's take on things. At times when she answers his question in a way that makes everything CNN reported a lie, he goes back at her with the same question and doubt in his voice.

CNN is at the forefront of the liars in this case and now they're stuck with what they've "reported".

That provision is contained in Florida's self defense statute 776.013(3) under the use of deadly force:

A person who is not engaged in an unlawful activity and who is attacked in any other place where he or she has a right to be has no duty to retreat and has the right to stand his or her ground and meet force with force, including deadly force if he or she reasonably believes it is necessary to do so to prevent death or great bodily harm to himself or herself or another or to prevent the commission of a forcible felony.​
 

The judge included that in the jury instructions along with quotes from statutes 776.012 and 776.012(1). The juror was talking about the separate provisions within the self defense statute that the judge put in her instructions, not the separate "Stand your ground" hearing that is allowed in Florida.
