Zimmerman attorney grills Martin witness on changes in story (video at source)

The star prosecution witness took the stand in a Florida courtroom for a second day Thursday as George Zimmerman’s attorneys tried to demonstrate that her story about hearing the prelude to the defendant's fatal confrontation with Trayvon Martin has changed over the course of the last year.

Defense attorney Don West grilled Rachel Jeantel about a letter she had a friend write for Martin's parents in the weeks after the February, 2012 incident, describing the phone conversation she had with Martin as he walked from a convenience store in Sanford, Fla., back to his father’s fiancee’s home in a gated community. West pressed her on what he indicated were inconsistencies between the letter and Jeantel's subsequent depositions and testimony - in particular her recent revelation that Martin told her he was being followed by a "creepy-ass cracker."

"Why wasn't 'creepy-ass cracker' in prior interviews?" asked West, one of the attorneys for Zimmerman, who is facing a charge of second-degree murder.

"Nobody asked me," replied Jeantel, who said she can't read cursive, which the letter is written in.

I think this is a trigger for the riots that Obama wants. Riots are the answer to the Luciferian prayers of community agitators like Obama.

Riots are the "Hey, look, squirrel" needed to redirect attention away from Obama's growing scandals.

Attorney General Holder will conclude this is the serious discussion we need to have about race...let's the riots begin!

It could get very ugly, and I don’t think there’s a prayer of convicting Zimmerman here.

Can you imagine being in Z's shoes watching this judicial circus?

Ya got the prosecution who clearly could care less about the truth, the blatant racist lying hostile witnesses and a local government who actually decided to try this man for murder after speaking to everyone involved.

Z is in a pit of evil...

“Another miracle of our education system.”

No education system could teach this moron. Unfortunately, her vote equals yours.

there’s only so much you can do if the person can’t absorb what you’re trying to teach.

Judging by her appearance, it looks like she has no trouble absorbing anything edible.

“””HLN had a poll. I think 56% said she was good for the defense, 33% good for the prosectution, 11% didn’t know.”””

11% are looking up what cursive means.

Looks like another wedge splitting our country down racial lines.

It will be uglier than even that. This is a left/Right issue and the Left's allies in the newsmedia will race bait. Look for the jurors to be outed and their addresses published. There will be riots around the country not only by blacks but by the Occupy crowd and the KOSSACKS.

Thinking about it, it is more than likely that the Left has already gotten to the jurors. I have heard that they are 6 white women. Are they being sequestered?

The hair is in order I guess. The rest of her is in complete disarray. Typical lying maroon.

Well, you can eat a dictionary but I doubt it will help. LOL

Looks like she’s eaten a library or six.

and a local government who actually decided to try this man for murder

Didn't FL Gov Scott (a Republican!) appoint a special prosecutor who brought the charge? Scott is really a disappointment. He was also pushing for Obamacare medicaid but could not get it through the legislature.

There were people on another thread here on FR who didn’t know what cursive means. I was pretty shocked.

Actually, I was shocked that Witness what’s her name even knew the word. Maybe somebody prepped her?

Hey...don't insult people (cows) of the bovine order!;-)

This lump of ethnicity is like nothing produce by nature. We need a new word (genus) to describe her.

I think most people don't know what cursive means because they use it everyday.

OTOH, this creature needs to know the word cursive because she cannot read unless the language is in an advertising sign or fast food menu.

"If it be made by hand...it must be cursive. My lawyer tole me so."
