Why is this chick is on twitter talking about getting high, and her nails?
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...ted-case-getting-high-showed-court-nails.html
I keep waiting to see this happen:
I keep seeing folks on FB and other social media making excuses for her poor communication skills. But everyone seems to at a loss to explain her attitude and dismissive demeanor on the stand. Badgering or not, I'm sure her attorneys warned her that this would be one of the many tactics used against her. My question is, why would she still act in a manner that could prejudice the jury against the prosecution's case? Whether she is consistently telling the truth or not, the jury's perception will decide this case, not her answering the same question repeatedly.
you cant expect people to do what they're not capable of. she's a product of her upbringing and environment. you cant expect her to wake up and become articulate and accommodating if that's not her nature. like i said, everyone is not built for this circumstance. she's doing the best she can and these crackas are working hard to make her look bad by taking advantage of her difficulty with language.
she's in a difficult position and they are working hard to make her uncomfortable and demean her. and i'm pretty disappointed in the black folks that cant seem to understand this and continue to talk down on her worse than many of these cacs out here.
We all knew bitches like this in high school, she's just extremely narrow minded and hard-headed with a bad attitude and doesn't think she needs to compromise herself for anyone.
I couldn't stand bitches like her, just ugly with a bad attitude for no reason lol.

we return after lunch, NOW she still acting like she dont want to be there..
WTF is wrong with this hoe?
#failed_justice_for_TM

if she was smart, (or someone in there family was smart) she could sell the book rights, movies rights, be executive producer or soemthing, but NAW she just gonna sit there and BLOW it.
i wanna slap this ho myself.

Yeah, but Paula Deen can say "I is what I is" and everything is just peachy, no judgement.
UGH! Get this bitch off the stand!!!
A question that leads people to believe Trayvon to be a racist.
No she didn't, not at all. Now Trayvon is looking like some black kid that hated white people, which implies Zimmerman was an enemy and gives a motive for Tray attacking him. She's a bird, and she's not making Martin look good. Hopefully we can count on some other witnesses to erase all this bitches mishaps and Zimmerman fucking up.
She could've said, no it's not typical language or even that they use the term when dealing with racist whites or something like that, but saying it's typical language they use will not help. I don't even believe it's a word they normally use, black folks don't use the word cracka that frequently (outside of here were we use 'CAC' like crazy). Usually we just say whiteboy or whatnot so I think she was just getting frustrated again.

Calling her back ain't gonna be good.. hopefully she doesn't use any social media accounts in the meantime
Exactly.. what she could've said was that Trayvon used the words nigga and cracka to describe what he thought was a white man following him that night
Not a chance she stays quiet. You know she has to log on and address her new "fans"
How when Trayvon also called Zimmerman a nicca?
the prosecutor on redirect did exactly that........
She does not have the mental acumen to do this. At the end, West used her contempt and distain that she showed him against her with a basic quest. "Did Trayvon use the word cracka?" Her response after just saying to the prosecutor that he called him a creepy ass cracka was, "I don't recall."

means nothing......and now dude on the stand is explaining the discrepancies of the cell phone records.....
i LOLs too
no his point was to ask her about "creepy cracker"... she said they use cracker, but he used creepy cracker THAT night cause dude was following him.
i think she asked that because the judge told her not to talk to anyone Phone internet or other wise...she's 19 her whole life is her phone so she asked could she use it now
That's not what she said though, she paused for about 5 seconds and said "no comment" when asked if Trayvon used the term all the time like the rest of the people in her community. That's not good for the case, it might not stick in the long run, but right now...that's not good.

Rachel Jeantel & Who We Should Really Be Ashamed Of...
Rachel Jeantel is a reminder that even in our righteous claims for justice, there is sort of a sad realization of just how much we perpetuate the very things that we claim we are against.
I often wonder what would our collective response to this tragedy have been if Martin wasn’t the baby-faced boy we had seen in pictures. What if he had a neck tattoo, baby dreadlocks and gold teeth? What if his linguistic patterns included a bunch of vowel splitting and “G” dropping? What if he rolled his eyes a lot and was known for speaking in an aggressive manner and tone? Would our convictions about George Zimmerman’s guilt have been less strong? Would folks have marched for justice or made George Zimmerman Wanted Poster-memes as their avatars; would they have taken “selfies” of ourselves in hoodies, holding a can of Arizona Ice Tea and Skittles?
The more optimistic part of me would like to believe that we would be just as vigilant. The realist in me knows differently. I don’t understand the lack of empathy we have for Jeantel – actually I do. She is everything that makes some of us cringe in front of white America. She is an uncouth, abrasive, dark skinned, overweight black woman with a weave and an attitude. As far as some of us are concerned, she is confirmation of everything that “they” think negatively about us. And for that we grit our teeth and wave our fists about how she is making us look bad.
However she did not ask nor volunteer to represent us. If not for bad fate, she would be another nameless black girl that we passed indiscriminately by every single day on the streets of America – unconcerned about her past or her future. And yet for circumstances outside of her control, she was plucked from her insular existence and thrust into the center stage of a highly profiled murder trial – and worse under the scrutinizing eye of people, our people, who went onto social networking sites to make fun of her weight; her color; who compared her to the fictional character Precious and other unwarranted attacks. I can understand why Jeantel is a defiant witness. As bad as she is getting it from the defense it pales in comparison to virtual beat down she is getting from us.
It can’t be easy, sitting in the same seat for hours, hashing and rehashing the same story you’ve told probably dozens of times before – to different people, in different venues at different intervals – and having to tell it again, this time to highly-skilled lawyers badgering you, trying to poke holes in every single utterance you make, fishing for ways to twist your words into gotcha moments. I know I would certainly get flustered and angry if I had to explain in front of a room full of people I don’t know why my relationship status with the victim was “complicated” – all the while wondering why that is even relevant to the facts of the case to begin with. And to her credit, the amount of resolve it must have taken to not respond more belligerently at the line of questioning about why she did not want to attend Martin’s funeral.
To which she tearfully responded, “You got to understand, you the last person to talk to the person and he died on the phone after you talked to him — you got to understand what I’m trying to tell you…I’m the last person, you don’t know how it felt. You think I really want to go see the body after I just talked to him?”
But in our haste to condemn and disassociate ourselves for what is nothing short of truthful emotions, we forget that she is hurting too – way more than any of us sitting at home watching the trial on television or in front of our computers. That this, for her, is not some political rallying cry she can put a hoodie on or rock a nifty slogan on buttons about to make it all feel better. Just like Martin, his parents and Zimmerman, her life changed that faithful night too. And for the rest of her life, she will have to live the memory – and probably guilt – of what happened. And not just what happened the night in question but during this trial, where people, particularly her own people, treated her worse than the man that is on trial for the actual crime. And quite honestly, that is what we should feel ashamed the most about here.

Exactly.
Explain bad her attitude? Explain her refusal to help the mother who was attitudesing for help? You going on about looks in front of white people and I'm going on to her unwillingness to help this family that had to watch pictures of their butchered baby the day before.
19 about to be 20 is not a child. She's swaying the jury with her shitty attitude.

the fuck??? are you fucking serious?? dude...
unfortunately, not all people are well spoken. it doesn't make them bad people and it doesn't mean they're not intelligent. it means they're not articulate or well learned.
her close friend was fucking murdered and she was the last person to talk to him. she's fucking traumatized bruh. its no surprise that she didnt want to have to put herself and her life on public display. but she did it. she did it for trayvon and for his parents. so apparently she's not selfish at all.
lastly, she's not used to this kind of situation. everyone's not built for it. and now she's got to be on national tv with a fucking cracka talking down to her. of course she's got an attitude! its very understandable.
dray...you and the rest of these big head ass niggas that cosigned this shit are way the fuck out of line, dude. its not cool to be looking down on this girl when she's doing what she's supposed to do. she made the right decisions and put herself out there even when it was uncomfortable for her to do so. you cats sound just as bad as these fucking crackas out here. shits not cool.
You overreacting. Her testimony was to explain the events that took place prior to Treyvons death. She did that very well.
She might not be the most articulate or well spoken person in the world but if the jury is truly being fair then they would only take into consideration what she stated and not her speech.
The defense spent 6 hours trying to make her look dumb. She was nervous because she is fully aware of her speech impediment.
THIS CASE IS A JOKE.
If she was a crack addict car thieving whore. WHO CARES !!
Her credibility isn't relevant. THE RECORDS SHOW and THE RECORDINGs proves. HE's GUILTY !!!
He stalked the boy like a pedophile and assaulted him. ANY AND ALL MARKS are Travon defending his 17 yr old self.
A coward dies a thousand deaths.

she just testified on national tv. what the fuck are you talking about?
but she did help the family. so you're arguing a non-point. literally. everybody doesn't want to be under that kind of life-changing scrutiny. she's going to have to deal with the effects of this trial for the rest of her life. some people dont want any parts of that shit. you niggas just want to be mad at her. that says alot about some of you.
