For those of you not living under a rock, the George Zimmerman trial and the ultimate George Zimmerman Not Guilty verdict has not exactly left people feeling a sense of justice from the outcome. While many things hang in the balance, such as the ultimate fate of George Zimmerman , the alleged book deal discussed from Juror B37 with Anderson Cooper on a CNN interview Monday night.
The following story is that of Twitter user @MoreandAgain, who singlehandely organized an successful effort to stop Juror B37's book deal with literary agent Sharlene Martin, told entirely through the Tweets and Retweets of this particular Tweeter.
Juror B37 told Anderson Cooper she's not trying to profit off of the trial by writing a book about it. (Come again?)

We just gotta find out her name and the publisher. But, we can stop that book.

Only thing I can think to do is flood Sharlene Martin's phone, email, and snail mail, w/ requests that she drop juror B37. That sound good?

I'm just blocking racists right and left today. I don't even have it in me to respond to them.

Hey, @sharlenemartin, please drop juror B37. Do not help the person who let a murderer get away profit from this tragedy.

"I appreciate your passion for the death of Travyon Martin. Stand by for a message shortly. I grieve his death as well." - Sharlene Martin

From that, I gather a public message will be coming from her shortly. If that's any indication, it won't be enough. But, I really need sleep

...the next day.
After careful consideration of the book project with Zimmerman #JurorB37, I have decided to rescind my offer of representation.
