Sometimes life imitates the Onion. Last week the satirical newspaper ran an "op-ed" by "Juror E6," a fictitious member of the panel that acquitted George Zimmerman. Here's the nut, and pardon our F---ch: "Now, I realize many of you are incredibly upset by our verdict, but in our defense, these laws are completely f---ed up, and our responsibility as jurors was to rule in accordance with them."

Yesterday a real juror, B29--no relation to Enola Gay--said much the same thing in an interview with ABC News. "George Zimmerman got away with murder, but you can't get away from God," B29, also known as Maddy, told correspondent Robin Roberts. "And at the end of the day, he's going to have a lot of questions and answers he has to deal with."

It's not at all clear that Zimmerman has reason to fear adverse divine judgment for his actions on the night of Feb. 26, 2012. Seattle radio host John Carlson--who, like B29, initially thought Zimmerman guilty--notes:

One of the most important, and remarkably under-publicized facts that came out at trial is that one of the detectives, while interrogating Zimmerman at the police station that night, told him that the entire incident had been caught on surveillance video. The detective was bluffing, but Zimmerman didn't know that. His reaction: "Thank God."

"Thank God." How many people who do something wrong, lie about it and are told it's on tape react that way?

Whether or not an omniscient God exists, we can say with certainty that no omniscient man does. Zimmerman knows what happened that night better than any living person, but even his knowledge is imperfect, not to mention susceptible to self-serving bias.

B29 has come in for a lot of criticism for her comments. Mediaite.com's Noah Rothman reports, for instance, that a CNN panel "tore into" her yesterday, "noting that it was 'disturbing' for her to speak out against her own vote in this case":
