Prosecutor Invokes MLK to Urge Credibility of Star Witness Rachel Jeantel
Breitbart's Big Government ^ | July 11, 2013 | Ben Shapiro

Posted on 07/11/2013 10:31:18 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

On Thursday, prosecutor Bernie de la Rionda contended that the only reason to find prosecution star witness Rachel Jeantel uncredible would be racism -- her lack of sophistication and Haitian background. “I had a dream that today a witness would be judged not on the color of her personality but the content of her testimony,” de la Rionda said.

Jeantel changed her testimony with regard to Trayvon Martin’s phone call with her just before his confrontation with defendant George Zimmerman, claiming that Martin said “get off!” She also lied about her non-presence at Trayvon Martin’s funeral to both police and the prosecution. Furthermore, Jeantel infamously testified that she did not believe that use of the word "cracker" was racist in any way, after testifying that Martin called Zimmerman a "creepy ass cracker."

A testimony which was pretty embarrassing to the prosecution, I may add.

I hate it when “crazy @$$ white crackers” like Bernie de la Rionda start throwing the race card around. The boy needs his @$$ kicked.

And he called he Haitian as if that excused her pretty common American illiterate street talk/slang.
She's been in the US since kindergarten.

Bringing Dr. King into this, huh? I’m surprised he didn’t somehow invoke the name of Jesus, that’s another tactic the PC not-sees inevitably use when they realize their argument is weak.

And the same asshole calls Zimmerman a “White” Hispanic.

MLK is rolling in his grave.

The left is so racist that they want you to believe that being black is an excuse for poor behavior, it is part of their culture after all.

From what I heard of the prosecution’s closing remarks, I think if anyone were to swallow any of it, they would get dysentery so bad they would cartwheel around on the ground like Asiana Airlines flight 214.

The character and office of Bernie de la Rionda categorically disproves “It Can’t Happen Here!”

The picture of her along with her statement as well as behavior could be used in lieu of syrup of ipecac. And by the way I have nothing against blacks as I have several for friends.

The guy so butchered and bastardized MLK's statement he should have been laughed out of court and disbarred.

“I had a dream that today a witness would be judged not on the color of her personality but the content of her testimony,” de la Rionda said.

Dr. Martin Luther King would have personally puked on this sorry excuse for a human being.

King is rolling over in his grave watching what the black race hustlers are doing to the black people.
