On the third day of testimony in the George Zimmerman murder trial, the prosecution called what could be the most pivotal witness of all: Rachel Jeantel, the friend who was on the phone with 17 year-old Trayvon Martin until moments before Zimmerman shot and killed him. In the early part of her testimony, Jeantel described her conversation with Trayvon, in which he notices a man looking at him, a man Jeantel says Martin described as a “creepy, white, kill-my-neighbors cracker,” and a “creepy-ass cracker,” to which she joked that he “might be a rapist.”
The credibility of Jeantel’s testimony is crucial, because it establishes George Zimmerman as the aggressor, and contradicts the defense’s contention that Mr. Zimmerman did not pursue Trayvon Martin after the police dispatcher instructed him that they didn’t need him to do that. The phone call also represents a two-minute overlap between the time Zimmerman hung up woth the dispatcher, and when he made contact with Trayvon Martin.
The prosecution asked Rachel Jeantel what Trayvon Martin was complaining to her about on the phone, as he walked home.
“That a man just kept watching him,” she replied.
After the judge overruled a defense objection, the prosecutor continued, “Did you say anything back to him or did he say anything back to you?”
“Yes,” Jeantel replied. “I asked him how the man looked like. He just told me the man — the man looked creepy.”(continued)

You are incorrect, imo.
Under FL law, GZ could have actually started the fight and still legally shoot TM after trying to disengage from TM’s attempts to kill him by bashing his head on the cement.
I will like to see what happens when she doesn’t return to court. I saw her attitude with the defense. She would answer before listening to the entire question. Big girl with a big attitude. And, with her court nails.
BUT imagine someone testifying that Zimmerman twice referred to Trayvon as a nigga. It would be repeated on every TV st, every radio st, and every newspaper, 247 until zimmerman’s last breath. That is what the white race of this nation is facing and they better wake up and stop appeasing those who refuse to get beyond the color of their own skin.
Buy a clue.
She is what my lawyer bud calls the jackpot machine’. Whatever the witness spouts is money for your client. To add, she just had her twitter account deleted but the tweets were a goldmine of idiocy.
Since you raised the question “Was Trayvon justified in beating on Zimmerman?” may I ask under which conditions would Martin have had the legal right to attack Zimmerman?
Specifics would be appreciated.
Thanks.
He sure as $hit wouldn't call a white person that.
From how he appears, Zimmerman looks at least Hispanic. I wouldn't think of him as "white" under any circumstance.
Maybe Trayvon had some "racial issues"? Did he think George was black?
This witness is such a goofball, that she will set Z free.
The defense should take her apart inch by inch.
[[8:35 in tape “Are you listening?” to defense atty. West...(attitude gets worse. Refuses to come back to court tomorrow.)]]
The defenses’ response was classic “I’m sorry, cvould you repeat that, I was distracted” You could almsot see the blood boil in her at that point
The first time she said “Are you even listening” I woudl have said “Whether I am or not is none of your busienss, you busienss is to answer the quesitons asked of you, and nothign else- I’ll ask the quesitons, you just provide the answers- thanks”
Liberal logic..a black person calling a white Hispanic a “cracker” is fine, but Paula Deen saying the N word is grounds for her to lose her life savings and have the Scarlet Letter “Racist” glued to her chest for all eternity
Were Nelson an unbiased judge, and were this not a Kangaroo-Court-Gone-Nutz, the fat broad with attitude would be facing the Defense attorney when requested or would be in jail on contempt charges. Once in court as a witness, IIRC, one leaves without Court permission at risk of contempt charges.
However, this is Judge Nelson presiding over the beatification of St. Martin of the Purple Drank ......
Apparently Negros have more rights than American citizens.
I wonder if google archived the tweets?
A “creepy, white, kill-my-neighbors cracker,” who “might be a rapist.”
Nah, no prejudice there. All those white people look the same.
Why is nobody asking the obvious? If Trevon Martin was frightened and he was on his cell phone, why didn’t HE call 911?
[[the fat broad with attitude would be facing the Defense attorney when requested or would be in jail on contempt charges.]]
At the very least woudl be deemed a hostile witness with instructions NOT to obstruct justice, and the judge woudl have stopped her in her tracks when she began attemptign to run the show-
when the person whose conversation is being recounted is dead, and the words are deemed to be pertinent to the crime.
This man will keep you up on the daily TM trial: http://www.youtube.com/user/HeartInSanFrancisco
