@cicerone imposter,
Normally, yes. But this case is not normal and 'persecution' is in fact the correct word.

#Zimmerman Trial Day 4: Jeantel agrees circumstances of BLDR meet led her to modify her testimony under oath. http://is.gd/5HInTk


I mean, if I'm the judge, the trial is over as of right now and de la Rionda and co. are hauled off in chains to the torture chamber.

@revelette,
Good article. It will depend on how the jury evaluates her testimony. Nobody else matters.

The only one that wants to persecute seems to be you Gunga.

If you're the judge, then it's the end of the world as we know it.

Busted: Teen witness in George Zimmerman trial can’t read own letter
By Cheryl K. Chumley
The Washington Times
Thursday, June 27, 2013

Prosecution witness Rachel Jeantel listens as defense attorney Don West questions her during her testimony in George Zimmerman's trial in Seminole Circuit Court in Sanford, Fla., on Wednesday, June 26, 2013.
Mr. Zimmerman is charged with second-degree murder in the 2012 shooting death of Trayvon Martin.

A teenage girl who was called to testify in the prosecution of George Zimmerman for second-degree murder was caught in a curious predicament Thursday after it became evident she couldn’t read from the very letter she claimed to have written to the mother of her friend Trayvon Martin.

In court, Rachel Jeantel was trying to read from what she said was a letter she sent to Martin’s mother describing the last few moments of his life, which she claimed she heard on the phone. But she stumbled badly, ABC reported.

Mr. Zimmerman’s defense attorney, Don West, finally asked, “Are you able to read that at all?”

Ms. Jeantel, 19, said in a whisper with her head down: “Some but not all. I don’t read cursive.”

The courtroom quieted in shock, ABC said. Ms. Jeantel couldn’t read anything on the letter she claimed to write — except for her name, ABC reported.

The line of questioning was aimed at vetting Ms. Jeantel’s testimony for truthfulness. She is a key prosecution witness in the trial of 29-year-old Mr. Zimmerman, charged in the February 2012 shooting death of 17-year-old Martin. She is believed to be the last person to speak with Martin before he died, ABC reported. Mr. West spent two hours questioning her on the stand on Wednesday, accusing her on several occasions of lying under oath.

A judge was just on with Laura Ingraham who said that when the police initially picked up the key witness in the Trayvon case, she was picked up by the police. In the police car, was Trayvon's mother and also their lawyer!!!!! And then they take her to Trayvon's mothers house for the 1st interview. The judge (Alex, not sure of his last name) said he had never seen nor heard of anything like this. He said this taints the prosecutions case.


any thoughts??

@Pamela Rosa,
That this young woman may have cognitive problems, or learning disabilities, that affect her literacy, or ability to read and write in cursive, in no way discredits her testimony regarding her phone conversations with Martin, or what she heard between Martin and Zimmerman.

Nor does the fact that she may have dictated a letter, that someone else actually wrote for her, mean that she didn't author the letter.

And the revelation of her literacy problems, in such a public way in court, must have been terribly humiliating for her. It also may have aroused sympathy for her in the 6 jurors, most of whom are also mothers.

The fact remains that her account of what Martin said to her, and what she heard, sounds credible and authentic. She describes Martin as fearful and concerned about the man who was watching and following him, and he was trying to get away from that man. She describes hearing Zimmerman confront Martin in a challenging manner--without in any way identifying himself to Martin, and the last thing she heard Martin say was, "Get off me," suggesting Zimmerman was the aggressor. And she was consistent in this account. And she held her own on it, even under cross-examination.

Nothing else about this witness matters except whether the jury believes her account of that last conversation with Martin and what she heard between Martin and Zimmerman.

I agree.

But I think it worked in her favor--I could understand some of her frustration with him, and the jurors probably could as well.

Unless you can quote the jurors, and what they are thinking right now, none of that other stuff matters. It's meaningless.

The jury is not likely taking any part of this trial as a joke.

I'm trying to come up with anything I've ever seen or heard which anybody might compare to this one and the ONLY thing I come up with which is even close is really ancient, something from the old Amos n Andy radio program, in which Andy Brown was a witness in some sort of a court proceeding, from memory:

Quote:
Mr. Brown, could you please describe for the court exactly what you saw on the night of Feb. 13, 1937....


Quote:
Well, suh, ya honnah, de cah come down de road, an hit de deceased, right squah in de ass...


Quote:
Mr. Brown, this is a court of law and you'll have to use proper language, the word is "RECTUM"


Quote:
"WRECKT-IM?? Sheeit, ya honnah, it done KILLT-IM.....
