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.
Jeantel, 19, was unable to read any of the letter save for her name...
During nearly two hours of cross examination Wednesday in which he tried to raise questions about her version of events and accused her of telling several lies under oath, including about her whereabouts during Martin's wake.
"Under oath, you created a lie and said you went to the hospital?" asked West.
"Yes," responded Jeantel. She said she lied because she didn't want to see the body.
Jeantel became increasingly agitated and scoffed when West told her that she would have to continue testifying.
She is seen as a critical witness to the prosecution because she is the only person able to say that Martin claimed that he noticed a strange man following him and that he was scared. Jeantel said Martin described the stranger as a "creepy ass cracker."
Jeantel said Martin, 17, was walking home during halftime of the NBA All-Star Game when he became unnerved because he was being followed.

Why would and prosecutor even bring Zimmerman up on charges? After they succumbed to the pressure to charge Zimmerman, they have dedicated themselves to persecuting him, no matter how flimsy the evidence.
As fake as the Breaker Morant trial.

Get her an obamaphone and a reality show contract, pronto!
About the same time conservatives realize they're being played for fools by the Republican party.
“...Darwin’s evolution is reversing into deevolution?”
Sad to say, but Darwin’s evolution is alive and well. This, ‘thing’, is out reproducing you and me because it is better adapted to its environment. Scary, eh?
I choose B! Because he’s a racist white (Hispanic) bastard murderer baby killer racist hater cracker...
Touche!
Her testimony should be thrown out and the entire case dismissed. This is all complete BS.
Oh, and if you are White or Hispanic and happen to shoot a black thug in self defense while in Florida, I would recommend serious contemplation on whether to report the incident or not. Jeeeeze.....
face of obama voter. illiterate to boot.
It would be interesting to know how much was paid for 12-13 years of public school education for this girl. Was she eligible for and did she receive special ed services, or were her competencies perceived as within the norm at her school district?
What does that mean?
LOL! Although she's got Moochelle's bangs, it's obvious she doesn't follow her "Let's Move!" program.
>> “It’s the STUDENTS, not the TEACHERS.” <<
.
A large percentage of the teechurs these days are just as illiterate as this “witness.”
gov_bean_ counter ~:” Did she under oath claim to have written the letter? “
Then the key question is :” Who wrote ( in cursive) the letter for you ? “
If a lawyer : that opens a lot of unanticipated questions , and a new line of inquiry .
And these inarticulate people vote !
..much less understand for whom they are voting
and even less understanding any political issue.
She is captive in the world of “what’s in it for me (entitlements )”
Idiocracy in action.
