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)

LOL! That’s so bad!
You could sell ‘Crazy Ass Cracker’ tshirts and retire a millionaire, I think.
Well, how the heck do you think Obamanation got elected? Take the Obamaphone imbecile woman multiplied x L-rd knows many times. This “witness” is just a younger version of Obamaphone Woman.
George is innocent!!!
Most of the witnesses are lying!!! That`s all I have
What I cannot figure out is why the Michelin Man appeared at trial in drag with such an unspeakably bad haircut. With his money you’d think he could afford a makeover. Jes’ sayin’.
G-d help Zimmereman if their cycles sync up and they deliberate during PMS week.
Yup, that’s why she lied and said she was in the hospital and couldn’t attend the funeral, and didn’t want to meet or discuss that night with Sabrina Fulton; she couldn’t face Trabama’s mama since she felt responsible for his death after egging him into attacking Z.
“I rote dis book.....”.
This woman is a good example of The Great Society.
Lets see, 12 years of public government schooling and she can not even communicate or read...We could ask her to write a statement in her own words, but she would like dispute her own written statement.
Just think, there are millions of people like this in the U.S., actually driving cars and voting...
She looks like a Milk Dud with a wig.
One thing seems certain in all of this, America is in a very rapid decline.
It looks like she tried to swallow a tractor tire and it got stuck halfway down.
Really? I'm pretty smart, but I'm a terrible liar, and I refrain from it largely on that basis. It's too much trouble.
I worked with some women very much like her in many ways. I’ll never forget the day that the news came out about the Nicole Simpson murder. Without exception, they all shamelessly declared that she deserved it for cheating on OJ.
She looks like half of the farm bill. Not that I am slim by any means, but I’ve never even licked a food stamp.

Yeah, but if there's any guilt ridden liberals or liberal blacks on that jury they'll buy it hook line and sinker.
“A man is on trial for his life because the prosecutor believed this mumble mouth moron.”
If the prosecutor got so far as putting this witness on the stand without knowing she had “problems,” he is stupid. The other choice is that he’s in on the scam and betting the jury is stupid/biased enough to go along with it.
