Illiterate. In this day and age, really?

That's crazy, we were not allowed to read at one time and now this! I also grew up with guys that still can't either @ almost 40 years old!

"My guess is that this all came out in deposition and the defense WANTED her on the stand so much that they would have called her if the prosecution had not."

Now that would make some sense. If the prosecution knew the defense was going to call her they may have decided they were better off calling her themselves to frame the situation and limit the damage as much as possible. But if that was the thinking they would dealt with the letter during their direct examination and tried to explain it away before the defense got its turn. I'm not sure that happened here.

Sure, just don’t add any candy or small puppies.

Maybe there is a truth that we just need to accept.... maybe reading and writing ain’t for everybody??? :)

St. Trayvon wasn't much of a GANGSTA if that's the best he could do finding himself a HO!

[Tax-chick]

Oh, I would never!

[wardaddy]

That is pathetic....girl likely has an IQ of 70 or so

Passed up the grades at school....can’t read....illiterate

Exploited by this amoral prosecutor

And the state

"I wonder what the "elites" are going to do about this trial?"

Zimmerman will be found not guilty, then Obozo will order him arrested for violating Martin's "Civil Rights".

I hope to God you are right!

“...Jeantel, 19, was unable to read any of the letter save for her name... “

Valedictorian material, for sure...

"She can’t read cursive, but apparently knows the word ‘cursive'."

Back in my day, we called it long-hand.

[ansel12]

Beam me up Scotty!

[Gay State Conservative]

They say that below 80 IQ, they are too dumb to know how dumb they are. She looks like she knows, so I’m gonna say she’s just above 80 IQ

In my 20 year career at a major hospital I interacted with brain surgeons (among many other types of physicians) on hundreds of occasions.Not once did the surgeon in question strike me as being in any way similar...in terms of basic intelligence...to this young woman.

[Jack Hydrazine]

That means if you throw a curse word at her she won’t understand it!

[Jack Hydrazine]

Or maybe she doesn’t know the hand signal for a curve ball?

[miele man]

That face looks to me like she is highly PO’ed and perhaps thinking she’d like to do a number on the defense lawyer.

[Hot Tabasco]

style of penmanship in which the symbols of the language are written in a conjoined and/or flowing manner, generally for the purpose of making writing faster

Dang, that's how I write but I didn't know it was called "cursive"........In fact, I've never used that word before in my life so I wonder how she knew it?

[kjam22]

She looks like she swallowed a soccer ball... and it didn’t go all the way down....

[Will88]

I admit to being out of it...what the heck is “cursive”???

When I was in elementary school, we called it "real writing". And it was long after that before I heard the term "cursive".

She was disrespectful yesterday on the stand. Very snotty and arrogant. The defense attorney, the judge, anyone could ask her a question and she would say “yea”, and roll her eyes.
Her lawyer got to her last night and it’s yes sir, no sir, yes sir, no sir. She’s still pissed though because she had to hide that razor blade knife before went went through the metal detector. Now she just glares at everybody.
