Yeah. How he could question Rachel Jeantel without laughing at how utterly stupid she was took a great deal of fortitude.
He treated her with kindness, courtesy and respect. I would have burst out laughing at the responses she gave.
I'm absolutely certain that the prosecution never dreamed she would say anything like that.
She was the one that really set the scene....explicitly corroborating that Tray snuck up on George and took the first punch.
I think her brain got stuck on "following"....and the prosecutor feeding her to make sure she used that word. Unfortunately, she made additional connections to the word in George's favor.
