Zimmerman Prosecution Star Witness Can't Read Letter She 'Wrote'

A teenage friend of Trayvon Martin was forced to admit today in the George Zimmerman murder trial that she did not write a letter that was sent to Martin's mother describing what she allegedly heard on a phone call with Martin moments before he was shot.

In a painfully embarassing moment, Rachel Jeantel was asked to read the letter out loud in court.

"Are you able to read that at all?" defense attorney Don West asked.

Jeantel, head bowed, eyes averted whispered into the court microphone, "Some but not all. I don't read cursive."

It sent a hush through the packed courtroom. http://abcnews.go.com/US/george-zimmerman-witness-read-letter-wrote-shooting/story?id=19504826

Well I wish I could,  I just usually cross my fingers. Technically speaking, a single violation could trigger the sites permanent suspension. Thankfully we dont have to many folks reporting us. Reminds me, your work here, at thee  top of list, of things reported:) RE Charles D

@James:

Then let them play out on their own.

*I'm not advocating censoring his comments, or mine for that matter (What's good for the goose = Good for the Gander)  I believe in freedom of speech, under the premise that with great freedom, comes great responsibility.

On the letter:

She had a friend with better penmanship write the letter. Maybe she didn't have a printer, or ink etc?

This is not a case where she wanted to be involved any more than she wanted Trayvon dead.  She was on the phone with Trayvon & is being brutally honest.

Trayvon :"Some creepy @$$ cracka is following me! I'm gonna try & lose him!"

Witness : "Run! Trayvon! Run!"

Sounds 100% believable.

Trayvon thought he lost GZ, who tracked him & initiated the conflict.

This is the world we live in, a Black man can be killed for nothing, by the police or vigilantes.

Even if Tray whipped Zimmerman's @$$, he had a right to stand his ground.  With no victim of Trayvon, this case seems open & shut, and if Zimmerman walks, I won't criticize how people react....unless they don't react strongly enough.  This 'chet has got to stop, one way or the Mudda Chuckin' other.

EDOGZ818 I do not condone Mr bananas remarks. And I don't have buttons to delete them. Some things go under the radar here but not for long. Your KKK fears are unfounded. Rest assured!

But back to civil discussion: "She never claimed to have written the letter, she dictated it" who wrote it?

Sorry have not followed this case closely

@Nobody will Observe:

She never claimed to have written the letter, she dictated it.  Social promotion has turned out many HS graduates that can't read their diploma.  I know one personally, and was like "WTF? How did you graduate?" to which the person replied:

"My teachers hooked me up!"

I was the first person that told them:

"Nah! Mayne'! They did you dirty!"

As far as taking it laying down, IDGAF how he takes my response to his racist comment online, and care even less OFF-line.

I have no problem doing the "Meet Up to Get Beat Up" thing.  He can take it however he chooses, it makes me no difference.  You do dirt, you get dirt.

He may be comfortable spouting off his racist / bigoted views, and may even be comfortable with the audience he is addressing, but I talk it like I walk it.

The fact is, YOU and every one else should have checked him before me, but I guess some want this site to turn into a Klavern Of Klu Kluxers.  He should take that BS over to "Storm Front" or some where else that would appreciate his intellectual diarrhea.

If I'm wrong, call me on it, because if you are, I'll definitely call you on it.  He knows right from wrong, even if  he thinks he can hide behind his monitor. Those disrespectful comments wouldn't fly in my circumference, the next day, he'd have to pay to get his fronts fixed.

The English word slave derives - through Old French and Medieval Latin - from the medieval word for Slavic, a people of Central and Eastern Europe, many of whom were sold in slavery after conquest by the Holy Roman Empire.

My point is only:  Government controls us by turning us against each other.  Oldest trick in the book.  No need for new ones, as we have learned nothing.

The mega rich money junkies in control, have been screwing the poor sense day one!
