Florida attorney and CNN legal analyst Mark NeJame awoke to the vicious, dangerous and false rumor that his wife was anonymous juror B37 on the Zimmerman jury. Colossally inept Twitter detectives spent the early hours of the morning spreading the “news” and passing around a photo of Josie NeJame.

Juror B37 is believed to be Josie Nejame whose husband is Mark Nejame. His firm was responsible for choosing the jury in the GZ trial.

Good morning people:)..Twitter has identified Juror B37 as Josie, maiden last name Arizola, married to Orlando attorney Mark NeJame. #p2

Dear @CNN, Mark NeJame said juror B37 was older with kids in their 20's, if true, how did he know that piece of information that nobody has?
— Mariano (@art2u2) July 16, 2013
Yeah, no. There’s no wild conspiracy. Mrs. NeJame is the mother of two young daughters and president of Runway to Hope, a charity that raises money to defeat pediatric cancer. She was 24 years old when she married Mr. NeJame ten years ago.
Juror B37 is reportedly a 50-something woman who works for a chiropractor. She has two adult children.

Mr. NeJame is keeping a sense of humor about the rumor as he attempts to set the record straight.

@Dat_Dude_Drew1 old news. Not my wife. We don't live in county. Two kids r 5 & 7, not 24 & 27. My wife 34. Twitter myth.

But the Twitter lynch mob has already threatened jurors and is wishing for the rape and murder of Juror B37. What do these thugs plan to do with the juror’s supposed identity? Nothing good:
If #JurorB37 is really josie nejame whose husband was part of picking jury, now we have reason to burn down Sanford. NO #JusticeForTrayvon

@AwesomestOn3 I could be wrong, it might not be her… But so help her God if it is.
— @Henryqs (@HenryQs) July 16, 2013
@Cajun_peach I would never wish ill on someones children but…… I hope her kids fall in love with a black guy lol
— @Henryqs (@HenryQs) July 16, 2013
She’d “never wish ill on someone’s children”; She just wants you to know exactly what they look like. No reason.
Best wishes for the safety of the NeJame family and the women who actually served on the Zimmerman jury.
