Former juror B29 in the George Zimmerman case is finally opening up about being the only minority on the jury and helping Zimmerman getting away with murder.

Juror also-known-as Maddy spoke with Robin Roberts for an exclusive interview for Friday's "Good Morning America" and admitted that she struggles with her decision daily. Maddy told the GMA host, "George Zimmerman got away with murder," she said. "But you can't get away from God. And at the end of the day, he's going to have a lot of questions and answers he has to deal with. [But] the law couldn't prove it."

Although, Maddy's admitted that she originally wanted to convict Zimmerman, she later found herself conflicted with the law and the lack of evidence prosecutors failed to prove that he was guilty of second-degree murder, "I was the juror that was going to give them the hung jury. I fought to the end," she said. "That's where I felt confused, where if a person kills someone, then you get charged for it. But as the law was read to me, if you have no proof that he killed him intentionally, you can't say he's guilty."

She explained on GMA, "as much as we were trying to find this man guilty...they give you a booklet that basically tells you the truth, and the truth is that there was nothing that we could do about it. I feel the verdict was already told."

The Puerto Rican mother of eight children now struggles with her decision everyday and sympathizes with Trayvon Martin's mother, "It's hard for me to sleep, it's hard for me to eat because I feel I was forcefully included in Trayvon Martin's death. And as I carry him on my back, I'm hurting as much Trayvon's Martin's mother because there's no way that any mother should feel that pain," she said.
