But the word "murder" came from the journalist, and the juror was simply repeating that exact phrase, quite clearly considering its merit, but not endorsing it.

I am not as certain as you seem to be that she was just simply repeating the words.   I think she was agreeing with them, to some extent.   That is backed up by the fact that right after saying the words, she said "but you can't get away from God".  

But if that was what she truly believed, I don't she why she would have hesitated as she did and even appear to start to object ("that -"). Based on how she repeated the words and her body language, I take her words "but you can't get away from God" as her response to those who say he "got away with murder." I mean...she was responding to a question about those who say that.

It is literally putting words in her mouth to attribute the "murder" claim to her. Again, she appears to be saying Zimmerman could have avoided the situation and that he has moral culpability for that. But "murder" is something different than that (which she recognizes). Based on the totality of her statements, the nature of the question, and how she responded to it, I think it is wrong to insist she believes it.
