Some years in the future, Rachel will undoubtedly write a book about her experiences with the Martin/Zimmerman case and about her education. It will be claimed to be hers, but it will be the work of a ghost-writer.

I'd do it a little different, let her turn in passing grades at the end of each semester and then be reimbursed.

I’m curious, how do people who can’t read and write cursive sign their name? With an ‘x’ or something?

[KevinB]

This is assuming she will be accepted into a college. But then, the acceptance standards are pretty low.

HBCU, like Howard University, the HBCU where the law school students, presumably the cream of the crop, stood up and cheered when the OJ verdict was read.

Good question lets “Axe” it.

[Tanniker Smith]

Oh, I would certainly do it differently myself. If you were being reimbursed, priorities will change. No doubt about it.

Unfortunately for her, if she got that deal, she probably wouldn't be able to afford a semester at a decent school.

I wouldn't be surprised, however, if she should finish her freshman year with under a 2.0 GPA, if her scholarship money should suddenly disappear.

Either she’ll find out the hard way liberals somehow forget to complete their promises or the liberal will find out he pissed away his money never really completing even a 3rd Grade curriculum and she be using dat money for new school good times.

I don’t care what he wants to do with his money, but she wasn’t even a victim of a crime here, she’s just some girl who talked her friend into getting himself killed, and got used by a prosecutor in a hopeless attempt at a miscarriage of justice.

I print my name. My priting is stylized, something like an architect's. Only had one bank ever turn down an account based on that.

I can write and read cursive, but I'm more comfortable printing. I moved from Oregon to Washington between the second and third grades. They taught 'cursive' in the third grade in Oregon, so I missed it. They taught 'script' in the second grade in Washington, so I missed it.

I learned to write and read it on my own (rather easily), but I still rely on printing, even when signing a check or a contract. And I'll bet it's easier for you to forge someone else's cursive signature than my printing.

Good luck with that. Putting lipstick on a pig would have a more lasting effect.
