Today, June 28th, is DAY #15 (of 3rd week) State of Florida V. George Zimmerman case. [Yesterday] … 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 powerfully–almost humiliatingly–co-opted by the defense, and the third provided testimony entirely consistent with the defense’s theory of lawful self-defense. (continue reading)

They only connected three weeks before his death — not much time for hanging out and riding bikes.
And where did they get their bikes — steal them from the homeless guys???
That’s part of the anger that she was used to meet their goal. They manipulated her An easy thing to do with her problems.
Yes even worse because its the only thing they had to use to get Z All their other witnesses easily be used as defense witnesses
Believe as one who has been there , her story will be different next month , next year and hopefully complete truth eventually. It has nothing to do with lying but as we say “doing the best we can ... Dealing with as much of the truth as we can handle”.
West was able to establish her unreliable statements without further destroying her. I admire him for his gentle patience. When he brings her back she may have more truths in her but for this week she is still in denial in so many areas It is a process not forced but encouraged
Some of her testimony ... He went to the back of fathers house. Will actually help Z as will her racists comment negate any he made.
They tried to use their trained puppy but the Rottweiler will eventually turn on them.
She stated she dit’ent attend the wake because she felt guilty.
Defense should’ah axed her if she felt guilty beacause she told Martin to confront Z and now hes dead!
see 1403
Is this it?
And now we have some LEOs telling citizens to "lock and load".
Bring it.
He was protecting the lawful from the unlawful... there are people in black communities who didn't want their neighborhoods burned down either...
Ahh, that IS what you're saying...
See latest posts. Can think of one child placed in special classes that graduated with honors once removed from abusive home. Special teachers are well aware of influence of home conditions.
Her actions are what help her survive in her environment Take her out of the hood and we’d see a different person if she had the intelligence to adapt. If not bright she’d never change
Any facts that they get out of her they will have to squeeze it out — one drip at a time — as they have already demonstrated.
Very possible of at least did not discourage him from picking the fight. Another truth she would have to work on. Much of denial is produced by guilt or old fashion shame
West did the right thing by not jumping on every statement. Particularly the way out one about getting out of jail. He can bring her back if he needs to amend her testimony
Was she connected in any way to his previous fight posts?
I tend to think their conversation was more sexual in nature.
Bikes provided by group home? Her mom was in Haiti at time of incident. Where was she living and why?
Like I said.
I had some sympathy for her the first day. None now.
Judge Pirro is the only star on Fox. O’Reilly makes me ill with his pompous attitude; Hannity repeats his talking points every night. The Liberal morons that Fox digs up make me ill. Now where do we go for real news?
That’s it. Everyone should watch it. Then they will realize why the state will do everything possible to keep this from coming into evidence.
Note that Zimmerman was parked at the clubhouse where the mail thing is but Martin just walked on by — contrary to what Jeantel says.
The cell tower ping logs would prove that one way or the other. But the state “can’t” find the cell tower ping logs.
Really???
It’s not her fault that she was put on stand. Remember she lied about her age so she wouldn’t have to testify. Do you have any idea what would happen to her if she was labeled a snitch
She must have said three times “they didn’t ask”! Iow people were NOT asking her the right questions. Not once did West say : what question should they have asked you? No telling what she knows that she would like to tell. After the third time you’d think someone would hear her
She certainly isn’t going to offer it and become a snitch in front of the parents. Another reason they should NOT have been allowed in court
Yep. Hood is just keeping her in survival mode. But folks do get out
She’s 19 and still in school. If something (court) wasn’t keeping her there the rules of the hood would say. DROP OUT
To her the right question is the question with the answer in it — like the ones that Bernie axes. That’s the right question.
We are well beyond “snitching” at this point. She already told the court the language they used together among other things — so she has already snitched.
She knows the ropes better than you think and she is milking the system and the attention for all its worth because when her high priced lawyer goes away so do the perks.
George Zimmerman Sanford Police Interview [Lie Detector/Polygraph]
I don't have television and get my news from FR and satellite radio feeds of the cable shows. I had bever even heard Zimmerman's voice before.
My impression is that he would do fine on the stand.
Thanks for posting that. It clears up a lot of confusion.
