Yesterday and today, jurors in George Zimmerman's murder trial heard testimony from a key prosecution witness: Rachel Jeantel, the 19-year-old_friend of Trayvon Martin who was on the phone with him right before the scuffle that ended in his death. Jeantel said that Martin repeatedly complained to her about a "creepy-*ss cracker" who was following him and that she urged him to run, which he did. After the call was dropped, she said, she called him back about 20 seconds later, and he sounded tired from running. She said he told her he saw the man again, and she heard him say, "Why are you following me for?" She said she heard "a hard-breathing man" reply, "What you doing around here?" At that point, she said, she heard "a bump" as Martin's cellphone headset fell on the ground and "the sound of wet grass." After that, "I calling, 'Trayvon, Trayvon,'" Jeantel said. "I kind of heard Trayvon saying, 'Get off, get off.' Suddenly the phone hung up, shut off."
Jeantel's testimony, which continues as I write, contradicts Zimmerman's claim that he stopped following Martin and was assaulted by him without provocation. Her account implies that it was Zimmerman who tackled Martin, rather than the other way around. How credible is her version of events? Not very.

Over all, Jeantel is a decidedly unimpressive witness, slurring her words and speaking so softly that at times she can barely be heard, becoming increasingly testy as West highlights the inconsistencies in her testimony. Virtually all of her responses so far have included the word sir, sometimes repeated several times in the same sentence, usually tinged with sarcasm. At one point, in response to West's suggestion that Martin planned to start a fight with Zimmerman, she responded, "That's real retarded, sir."(continued)

I bet she gets a reality show
She was telling Trayvon to attack Zimmerman. That’s why she went off the radar when she found out what happened.
Is there a website from which to order my “Crazy Ass Cracker” t-shirt yet?
Hate to say it, but the whole USA has become a reality show. Frankly, it's high time it was cancelled.
Wonder if the actual phone conversations are hidden in a NSA vault?

Holder’s people at their best.
If she married Chumlee from Pawn Stars she’d be marrying up. He’s a MENSA member in comparison. Hell, Honey Boo Boo’s mom is too. LOL
I thought goiters went out with the turn of the century.
It’s not my country. It’s hers now. And really made to order too — nothing is expected of her, but all of her needs will be taken care of. Me? I’m just the sucker who gets screwed every day while I struggle to keep her afloat. It’s just a raw deal planet.
What bothers me is that I have heard black people on both Hannity’s radio show and Gerta’s tv show say that this women did a good job, was convincing and that the defense attorney was a bully.
The one’s I heard on Hannity’s show...They do not know ANYTHING, and they think they know everything and can be convinced of nothing.
I don’t even know what more to say about it without coming off badly, so I’ll just leave it there.
Sadly, you are right.
like to see her get perjury charges. sir.
A man is on trial for his life because the prosecutor believed this mumble mouth moron.
She’s an idiot, and one way or another, she is living her “lifestyle” on the taxpayer dime.
Or a sister wife.
She will write a best seller in cursive
Good question. Unfortunately, you are a bad citizen for thinking that way.
