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

Marquez Harris  Perhaps so, as I said previously, not up to par. You very well most likely are far more informed than I. I do not dispute what your saying.

"That's not true, our grievance is in response..."

Define 'our'

My comments are beyond the the presented face value of this case.  Are you soaking any of what I'm spitting?

And let me be redundant: I can relate to what your are saying. It's not Justice, it's Just Us. And it goes beyond race.

@Nobody Will Observe

Trayvon was doing nothing more than walking home minding his business. GZ racially profiled him as a drug addicted thug and began to follow/harass him. If you listen to GZ's 911 call you can hear him call Trayvon an asshole, a punk and a coon. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize who was the aggressor, especially with Trayvon running away from GZ and GZ chasing after him. GZ trained at a boxing/kickboxing gym for a year and a half, there's no way a 17 year old kid is gonna beat him up. GZ also has a violent criminal past which includes beating up his fiance and assault on a police officer. He's far from the peace loving pacifist his supporters make him out to be.

Judging from your comments, you believe our frustration is about a non-black person murdering a black person. That's not true, our grievance is in response to the fact that he didn't get arrested for his crime. The police just took his word as the truth, when we all know that if Trayvon's and GZ's roles were reversed Trayvon would've been arrested immediately.

There are those in high places that would like nothing more than for us to turn in on our selves.

The media frenzy over this case, not the murder it's self, is NOTHING but divide and concur! And we are all to willing.

That's the Black and White of it. Is not Zimmerman Hispanic? Are there not murders every day? Is it not true that most murders of young Black Men are at the hands of the same race?

Where is the attention to this?

And who here is a witness to what transpired???

I totally concur Nobody. The State run media has done a fine job once again dividing and conquering many people. They are trying to fuel a race war, period.

We've got to quit being manipulated by the PTB, come together as a humanity and go after those hiding behind the curtain, screwing us all over.

We have much more power united than divided...

So I'll let your comment slide...in the tailpipe???

Cognitive dissonance?

 If the situation was reversed, Doubt you would take that one lying down.

Comment by Nobody Will Observe on June 28, 2013 at 2:38pm

It's REALLY sad, that SO MUCH of the peanut gallery can't see the forest for the colour of the trees.

We are so screwed as a people, and a nation!

The true enemy has us by the balls.  Divide and concur works well with an ignorant public.  SIDE NOTE: Why else even consider opening a flood gate of illegals here and now?

Mr. Banana out of line!

EDOGZ818  How could anyone make someone claim to write a letter in cursive, when they can even read cursive?

@Joe Banana in the tailpipe:

If I were to check your punk @$$, I'd get banned, so I'll let your comment slide...but you sound racist.

@paricia:

I think Zimmerman put her in that position when he did this :

Trayvon had a right to stand his ground....not Zimmerman. 

That's like me minding my business, and Joe Banana up the Tailpipe & loving it, starts trouble with me, because he has a glock & is a big man now, with it, and I try to avoid it, but he continues, until the point where I'm forced to whip his punk @$$ & then he shoots me.

That's some punk 'chet, and it the races were reversed, & Trayvon did it, Zimmerman supporters would be calling for a return to public lynchings.

Imagine if Trayvon was "illegally" armed & defended himself, leaving Zimmerman dead...then what?

GTFOHWTBS!

Probably has no bearing on the case, but less than a hundred miles away in Gainesville around the same time were two high school girls having posted a racist YouTube video.
