One of the more reluctant media figures to emerge from the George Zimmerman trial was 19 year-old Rachel Jeantel, the last person to speak to unarmed teenager Trayvon Martin, aside from the man who killed him.
Her contentious exchanges with defense attorney Don West sparked conversations about cultural differences, and the way many in the media reacted to them.

Freegards yo.
She won’t go far in law school, she will have to read those square things with words in it
I listened to about five minutes of that interview and firmly believe that I have permanently destroyed at least ten of my IQ points as a result.
I have seen lawyers that stupid, but I think she should try talk show host. Al Sharpton did it, and he’s as dumb as she is.
Can you imagine how long it would take for her to do a closing argument?
Hey, as long as she had absolutely NOTHING to do with the operation of the spacecraft, let her fly. What could go wrong?
McKinney earned a B.A. in international relations from the University of Southern California, an M.A. in Law and Diplomacy from the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University. She worked as a high school teacher and later as a university professor.
A neurosurgeon?
She won’t even be able to read her own diploma.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!
Hmmm......nice.....glasses.
Congress.
She’ll end up in Congress.
She couldn’t spell “cat” if you spotted her the “c” and the “a.” The LSAT demands a bit more than that.
Someone I know who practiced against him said he was quite smart and a very capable litigator.
Isn’t Affirmative Action great.
She has no problem passing the salad bar
Out your butt! What makes you superior? The fact that you know how to read and write. Bet your cracka-ass wouldn't last a day in the world she lives in. Certainly your empathy for another sucks.
Anytime someone is willing to better themselves, I say more power to them!
Ignorance can be overcome, stupidity is something everyone suffers from at times. Look around...
You forgot the laugh track.
