George Zimmerman Witness Can't Read Letter She 'Wrote' About Shooting
ABC News ^ | June 27, 2013 | SENI TIENABESO and MATT GUTMAN

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.

The prosecution should just save everyone the time and money and rest. This one is over. It's EXTREMELY difficult to successfully prosecute somebody for murder when everything goes right.

Is it rude for someone to ask the witness to speak up?

Also, she says "cracker" isn't racists. Wow.

To me Zimmerman shouldn't have even been arrested and I don't think he would have been if it hadn't been a racial thing that turned political. He obviously had had the crap beaten out of him and there's obviously reasonable doubt to the idea that he didn't think his life was in danger. He's not supposed to have to prove he's innocent.

Same old same old. If it's a high profile case nowadays and a Black is involved either as accused perpetrator or alleged victim while the other party is White it becomes political and objectivity goes away. Then if Zimmerman gets acquitted he's going to be tried twice for the same crime via some kind of Federal "Civil Rights" charge. Doesn't matter whether there's sufficient evidence to show him to be guilty of anything or not. They're going to get him one way or another. And never mind that the Constitution says you can't try a person who has been acquitted again for the same crime. We found a way around that and do it all the time.

Hes a punk that was spoiling to shoot him a negro for a long time and finally attained his heart's desire. Got his ass kicked by a skinny high school kid - not a good resume for prison. And stop whining about that constitution crap. We all know what that's worth anymore.

Really though, there are a few articles on line claiming that whites won't understand her because of her culture and that is the reason she comes off as unintelligent. She's the one that uses "nigga" and "cracka" but says they aren't racial slurs. She's the one that can't read cursive. She's the one that has repeatedly lied. People are taking what she gives them, and so far it isn't flattering.
