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."

Right, right. Well, I got both. Of course most people complain they can't read my handwriting when I write in cursive... but that's a different matter.
 
You're not the most important witness in a capital murder trial.

However, it doesn't matter in the least. And neither does the truth of what happened that night.

He will be found guilty, and sentenced to just under the maximum for the crime.

Anything else will signal more mass riots and violence.
 
Zimmerman prosecutor Bernie de la Rionda invoked Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have A Dream” speech in his closing arguments, arguing that star witness Rachel Jeantel should be taken seriously, regardless of her “unsophisticated” testimony, National Review Online first reported.

“I had a dream … that today, a witness would be judged not on the color of her personality, but the content of her testimony,” Mr. Rionda told the jury.

Oh, please, give me a break. How can a liar be taken seriously? O.o
