Yesterday and today, jurors in George Zimmerman's murder trial heard testimony from a key prosecution witness: Rachel Jeantel, the 19-year-old_friend of Trayvon Martin who was on the phone with him right before the scuffle that ended in his death. Jeantel said that Martin repeatedly complained to her about a "creepy-*ss cracker" who was following him and that she urged him to run, which he did. After the call was dropped, she said, she called him back about 20 seconds later, and he sounded tired from running. She said he told her he saw the man again, and she heard him say, "Why are you following me for?" She said she heard "a hard-breathing man" reply, "What you doing around here?" At that point, she said, she heard "a bump" as Martin's cellphone headset fell on the ground and "the sound of wet grass." After that, "I calling, 'Trayvon, Trayvon,'" Jeantel said. "I kind of heard Trayvon saying, 'Get off, get off.' Suddenly the phone hung up, shut off."
Jeantel's testimony, which continues as I write, contradicts Zimmerman's claim that he stopped following Martin and was assaulted by him without provocation. Her account implies that it was Zimmerman who tackled Martin, rather than the other way around. How credible is her version of events? Not very.

Over all, Jeantel is a decidedly unimpressive witness, slurring her words and speaking so softly that at times she can barely be heard, becoming increasingly testy as West highlights the inconsistencies in her testimony. Virtually all of her responses so far have included the word sir, sometimes repeated several times in the same sentence, usually tinged with sarcasm. At one point, in response to West's suggestion that Martin planned to start a fight with Zimmerman, she responded, "That's real retarded, sir."(continued)

Devolution.
Smile... I never was a conformist, and certainly too old to learn that mindset. I watched about 10 minutes of the legal conformists on HLN today regarding the 'purity' of this witness.... I kept thinking there is a vault with these phone calls why is no one issuing subpoenas? The 'state' or prosecutors would not have to put this poor thing through all this indignity ... just play the phone conversations.
Behold the low-information voter who rules the new America.

It seems ignorance has grown to staggering proportions, and then that ignorance is defended by pure arrogance.
They fact that a man is facing decades in prison means nothing. The only thing that matters is that they think he is guilty of murder despite having zero evidence of such.
I noticed that too, she has a huge thyroid problem. Still common in the Caribbean.
Get me one too. :-)

I am convinced this country is being run by sassy black women.
She will write a best seller in cursive
A one sentence book dedicated to her peers.
And the name will be: Biggest dumb@$$ of the century.
It might actually have verbs.
She’ll probably get a job with the IRS as some kind of Obamacare enforcer.
It's an all woman jury ... what are they thinking of this?
