WOW! The first of the “Mystery” witnesses I have been predicting the prosecution will call to the stand. Interesting as she did not see the events that she relates. Thus, her proposed testimony is Hearsay. Granted her proposed testimony is Hearsay the next question would be is there an exception? There may be a “Spontaneous Statement” exception that applies to what she is saying thus allowing escape from the Hearsay Rule. A foundational question would be proof that Martin’s phone reflects a call to the Witness’ telephone number at the time of the events-if such record is possible to obtain.

Only IF it supports the black person- ie: Not geroge zimmerman- We’ll see how hte court handles this which should tell us whether hte court is honest or not

All telphone communications are hearsay .
The fact that she is testifying about a phone call makes it even less legally binding ~ it is “second-hand hearsay”.
The credibility of her statments is only as accurate as her character .
One question I would want to ask ‘Dee Dee’/Rachel : Did Treyvon ever give you some jewelry ?
