Rachel Jeantel, identified by the State and defense in opening statements as the young woman who was on the phone with Trayvon Martin minutes before the shooting, is ready to take the stand. (She tweeted the photo above this weekend, with the caption "court nails.")
Apparently, the state intends to call her as a witness after all.
So who is Rachel Jeantel? Smoking Gun reviews her twitter account, but only tells half the story. [More...]
Why this matters? Because Team Crump portrayed her to the media and America as a broken-hearted, traumatized minor, holding a press conference to play her unintelligible words while declaring she "blows Zimmerman's defense out of the water." He mentioned she was a minor 7 times in that press conference alone. Here is carefully worded affidavit filed in an attempt to avoid having his deposition taken.
A minor? She lists her birthday on Facebook as Feb. 1, 1994. As the defense has said, she is 19, and was 18 at the time of the shooting. Even the prosecutor mocked the defense in court for believing she was a minor.
In addition to what Smoking Gun reports, she tweets about:
Getting away with drunk driving
Threatening her mother that she'd call Child Welfare if her mother didn't give her money
She taunts Zimmerman's lawyer Don West
She uses expletives about Robert Zimmerman, Jr.
While she claims to be studying criminal justice in college, she tweets she failed the fCats a year ago
Rachel doesn't appreciate suggestions she get a job.
Why should she, her parents work. She gloats about her father backing down after suggesting she get a job to pay her phone bill.
Her language will be something these jurors, particularly the four women over fifty, are unlikely to comprehend.
While her Twitter feed is still active, over the past few days she's deleted quite a few or the more salacious ones. In one I didn't save, she bragged about Zimmerman's lawyers being no match for her lawyers.
As Rachel says, Bring it.. I say Shame on Team Crump and ABC News (Matt Gutman in particular) for selling America a false bill of goods on this woman. From their false statements about her age and relationship with Trayvon Martin, repeated on morning and evening news and cable shows to their broadcasting her lies about being so traumatized by the shooting she had to be hospitalized, they either refused to do even a modicum of due diligence or they did it and intentionally spread misinformation to further their agenda.
I am sure the prosecutors will not allow anything she said on Twitter to be brought into the case.
From what we know of Trayvon I am sure he would have picked a “real winner” for a girlfriend.
It will be interesting to hear the lies she has thought up to use in this case.
Great analysis.
Now that St. Trayvon Hoodie sales have somewhat plateau-ed pending riot prep, waddaya think about a Hi-Fashion "Jeantel" line of urban clothes, cosmetics, etc?
Court nails look like welfare nails. you never have to worry about breaking one.
Is that the picture they had to ‘photoshop’ to put some clothes back on to her ?
The female “witness” from yesterday, a young black girl that saw nothing but “heard” something posted on facebook that Travon Martin “deserved justice” and signed a petition too. She was demolished by the defense. Destroyed. It was pathetic to see the prosecution even bring her in the courtroom. This witness will be demolished too.
If the event had happened in Texas and had been taken before a grand jury it would never have come close to court. The case in Florida has turned in to a left wing political circus that was originally fueled by “community activists” including the one in the White House.
The bottom line is that Zimmerman never drew down on the gangster wannabe. The gun did not come in to play until the end.
The prosecution wants to bring in to court that Zimmerman called the police numerous times about unknown black males while he was in the neighborhood watch. To show “presence of mind”. If the judge allows that then Martins doper gangster wannabe history should be allowed in.
Washington, our courts and most government employees along with a good chunk of society in many states are akin to infected zombies that are mindless but to one thing - LIBERALISM. And with that they have lost all reason and ability to use logic and common sense because they lack it. America needs to be rebooted from the top down.
That is one of the worst nail jobs I have ever seen. Just awful.
Wish my money had been spent on a better set for her.
Great Idea. Also product development is on top of things with regard to the new Selena bobble head doll that only moves from left to right. It will be available by Friday.
I don’t know. I got it from Legal Insurrection. Looking at it though, it’s quite possible.
When did Mr. T go transgendered?
Welfare whore... never would have guest it...
This picture appears to be taken in her bedroom, and she appears to be 'reclined'.
The plaid print shirt that only covers one shoulder is probably all she had on. The dark colored material covering the right shoulder area seems to have been 'added'. IMHO.
IQ of what, one standard deviation below the mean? Maybe Two?
Classy wig though.
she’s getting her 15 minutes of fame. The “crash” will come once the defense team is trough with her. What a looser!
Correction, “loser” (fingers going too fast)
Aviod panik when typng.
Pearl, Bill, it is not wise to denigrate future cabinet appointees.
Failing the ludicrous Florida FCats, but "studying" criminology means that soon Jeantel WILL be the head of the FBI, after serving as Ambassador to Togo to gain some 'sperience. Congress? Maybe. Don't rule it out. She could be the next McKinney.
And she does hold the rare and prestigious "NPI" degree*
