bombshell interview with an anonymous Zimmerman trial juror tonight with an exclusive chat with the witness everyone has been waiting to hear from since the verdict came down: Trayvon Martins friend Rachel Jeantel.
Jeantel, who created a media firestorm with her highly-polarizing testimony towards the beginning of the trial, appeared on Piers Morgan Live alongside her attorney. She described her reaction to Zimmermans acquittal as disappointed, upset and angry and called the jurys assessment of what happened just B.S.
Asked about what Trayvon Martin was like as a friend, Jeantel described him as a calm, chill, loving person and said she never saw him get aggressive or lose his temper. She said that the defenses attempts to portray Martin as a thug were unfounded and defended his relatively mild drug use. Weed dont make him go crazy, she said, it just makes him go hungry.
Jeantel also responded to the massive mockery she received in social media for the way she speaks, explaining that she was born with an under-bite that has made it difficult for her to speak clearly. When Morgan asked if shed been bullied for her condition, she simply responded, Look at me, to laughter from the studio audience.
Morgan attempted to get Jeantel to offer her opinion of defense attorney Don West, who many claimed was condescending towards her when she was on the stand. Jeantel shook her head, declining to say anything bad about the man given her Christian upbringing.
In the second part of his interview with Jeantel, Morgan turned to the creepy-ass cracker comment she made and the major impact it had on the tenor of the case. She explained that the term is actually spelled cracka and defined it as people who are acting like theyre police. She said that if Zimmerman had calmly approached Martin and introduced himself, her friend would have politely said what he was doing there and nothing more would have happened.
Unlike the juror, Jeantel did think Zimmerman was racially motivated. It was racial, she said. Lets be honest, racial. If Trayvon was white and he had a hoodie on, would that happen? She said she had a feeling it was going to be not guilty not because of the racial makeup of the jury, but because of the way the testimony went.
Jeantel insisted that Martin was creeped out and believed Zimmerman was following him, even worrying that he might be a rapist. She asked, For every boy or every man whos not that kind of way, seeing a grown man following them, would they be creeped out?
Just how did this gal make it to high school? Not able to read cursive? What is with the Florida education system.
A boy-raping security guard!
...and those old people are likely to outlive her gangsta @$$.
CNN really went crazy to try and improve the appearance but they can’t fix her racism.
No. Dey only the natural, next de-generation of the permanent Democrat welfare class.
Rachel and Nancy Pelosi might have to arm-wrestle to break the tie for “Dumbest Women In America.”
Riveting was not the word that came to mind. For him to get into a discussion about the differences between the derogatory word and the accepted word showed me that he is not an intellectual. Go and sell your crap in England.
What needs to be shouted from the rooftops is that the root of all this is unmarried teenagers (black or white) having babies.
Huge numbers (I believe 70%) of little black babies are born into dire circumstances....promoted and supported by liberalism. This makes for a very angry youth.
I’d be angry too. I’d be angry at an absent irresponsible “father” and a young, lost mother. Both the angry young black man and the irresponsible young mother are the product of the absence of a good, Godly father, but it’s easier to blame the white man than blame your own “culture”.
That’s the root of the problem.
Oh yeah? Tell the militant Democrat homos that.
Loved the comment by a FReeper earlier today wondering whether Rachel would call Piers a “Creepy ass crumpet.”
I get my social analysis from the rappers.
Black trumps everything.
I listened to Tavis Smiley talking about the unfair treatment of black men. I hope he heard this interview. He ought to start working on improving the schools and teachers in the inner cities. This is not English and every time she opened her mouth she showed her ignorance.
Love it, thanks for sharing.
That title needs fixing:
“Piers Morgan Conducts Riveting Interview With Trayvon Martins Friend, WITLESS Rachel Jeantel.”
I wonder how you say “crazy azz craka” with a British accent?
Ping to read later.
The Chicago mob trumps everything.
Sorry I missed that undoubtedly fascinating exchange between two of our most prominent intellectuals of the day......
Juror B-37 just said CNN that the jury didn’t consider Jentel credible.
