If I had to guess, she went into deliberations with a mindset of moral justice. She didn't believe Zimmerman's story and felt he caused the altercation. She felt Zimmerman put himself in the position to be in such great fear - it was George's mind that caused him to view Trayvon as a suspect and that's what led to his actions which caused Trayvon's death.
After reviewing the law and with convincing from other jurors, she understood legal justice and moral justice are not always one and the same.
All speculation and guessing, of course. Maybe that juror will speak out at some point. I'd like to hear from her.
