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 Martin‘s 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 Zimmerman’s acquittal as “disappointed, upset and angry” and called the jury’s 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 defense’s attempts to portray Martin as a “thug” were unfounded and defended his relatively mild drug use. “Weed don’t 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 she’d 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 they’re 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. “Let’s 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 who’s not that kind of way, seeing a grown man following them, would they be creeped out?”
Same here I couldn’t take it I rather Sharknado which is more intelligence in the script writing than Jeantel.

I think I hear Democrat homosexual heads exploding.
What was her claim? That the C.A.C. dragged Tray into a fistfight? Did the wet grass tell her that? Why won’t she ask herself, why didn’t Tray speak “politely” to the C.A.C instead of launching into a slugfest?
I know of people who have “Christian upbringing” and yet are quite godless. Some were too close to me for comfort.
I just couldn’t watch her again. It was so excrutiating at the trial my creepy cracka azz just coudn’t take no mo.
In the area where I live, that wasn't "bash," that was "woop azz." [big smile] Woop Azz...
So she admitted that Trayvon was beating on Zimmerman.
This could create a brouhaha... if they care about being logical that is. Which they usually don’t. It’ll get overlooked like most of the truths they stumble over.
Yep... he 0wned the place, he had every right to do that... how RETARDED
Nope.
Black trumps everything.
Savage should shut his damn mouth for encouraging this circus.
Nah, let the big top play on. The foolishness, it needs to burn. Nothing less will wake the American stupor.
good for a laugh!
White kids are always allowed to rob houses. Everyone knows that! How else would we get rid of our unwanted jewelry and iPads?
