Once again, it was simply not a very good day at all for the prosecution. The primary State witnesses today were Rachel Jeantel, Jenna Lauer, and Selma Mora. The first had her credibility substantively destroyed, the second was powerfullyalmost humiliatinglyco-opted by the defense, and the third provided testimony entirely consistent with the defenses theory of lawful self-defense. There was also some (I expect temporary) hubbub that OMara may have inadvertently opened the door to allow the State to introduce evidence of specific prior bad acts by George Zimmerman, and I address that in detail, as well, below.

Shame on our school system and people like this chick who could care less about anything.
How much did Tray's parents pay her??

There isn’t one damn person on that jury that didn’t have an opinion before they were seated. Being a jury member on a case like this spells “book”, “money”...
It would also account for him going after Zimmerman...to teach him a lesson.
I'm trying to remember the evidence...he had a blue tooth and a phone??

This is Tawana Brawley all over again.
1.) The flippant attitude and "retarded" type responses out of this woman should have been grounds for dismissal from the court and testimony stricken from the record.
2.) The racism of the Trayvon crowd is nauseating. These folks are perfectly okay with using racist words themselves toward other races, but they sure can't handle it if Zimmerman shoots in self-defense.
3.) The speculation of this "witness" was awful. She insinuated that Zimmerman hit Martin without knowing what she was talking about, and that letter that she supposedly wrote wasn't even written by her because she can't "read cursive" writing.
I simply cannot believe that George Zimmerman's life is subject to the word and behavior of these "witnesses" and other sordid people in this kangaroo court. Even the officers who were at the scene seem to have turned on George, even though at the time they all wrote the case up as self-defense and let him go.
Worse yet, when reading about these witnesses and even being forced to catch a snippet of Rachel's "testimony," in earlier times we would all be correct in the view that the prosecution bombed out, Zimmerman would walk.
Today, however, in light of the OJ trial, what's wrong is right and that "crazy assed Cracker" Zimmerman ends up guilty!
I don’t think this judge will ever simply dismiss this case that, from all appearances, should never have been brought.
Well, she IS a liar. At least some of her lies have been 100% documented, on multiple occasions. At least some of her lies have been ADMITTED to by Ms. Jeantel herself.
So she's a liar. That's not name-calling. It's a documented, verified FACT.
I also wonder why, if Zimmerman was just going to shoot him for no reason, he would bother getting into a fight with him on the ground. Wouldn’t he have just shot him?
Truth is the real victim here.
That’s called suborning perjury. Try proving he willfully led her to do it though or knew about it.
p.s. Isn’t this a state prosecutor (DA or ADA)?
“Lying witness, sure but in today’s racially charged society, one doesn’t dare call her a liar, which would surely have been done in earlier times.”

I suppose it depends on the jury.
The defense attorney is doing the job he’s supposed to do. Right now, that’s challenge the prosecutor’s witnesses.
The talking head sounds like a DA to me.
And I don’t mean “district attorney.”
There is likely an "understanding" -- either overt or understood -- that the case has to be tried to the bitter end -- then, let the jurors sort it out.
It never should've been brought...but, having been brought, it can't be allowed anything other than a "natural death".
Going back to Day One, I'd still like to know just who it was that got the national media started on the case -- a full three weeks after the fact. Recall that the story been fully reported locally...and a "self-defense" claim fully accepted by the police and the community.
Then, three weeks later, the national media erupts in outrage -- and fails to report (i.e., omits) some of the key exculpatory evidence (eye-witness reports, Zimmerman's injuries, etc).
This whole thing was a set-up job -- strictly for political purposes -- from the outset. One person had to tell the national media to run with what was an old story -- and leave out some of the key details.
Oh, good grief. Now the prosecution is saying that racial profiling had nothing to do with what happened that night and are denying they ever brought up the subject of racial profiling!
And the prosecution is blaming the defense for bringing race into the trial. Can’t make this stuff up!
