Rachel Jeantel, a friend of Trayvon Martin's, testifies that Martin told her someone was following him. For more CNN videos, visit our site at www.cnn.com/video/
Melanated Queen , what???? Why is he racist?. Because he doesn't speak ghetto? I know the fucking teachers aren't teaching kids to talk like that. So, yeah, we need a fucking translator. Are you it?
Wow, she can't even go to the funeral, AND lied about being in the hospital on the stand. She also missed a couple years of school, which she claims she was sick. I see a pattern. Then here's the kicker, she's extremely annoyed she has to come back for a second day in court. True friends.
Forget her appearances (even though they are not mentioned in this thread, but other comments seemed to be critical; which really doesn't matter), she flat out lied and wasn't direct with the courts and probably cost the case for Treyvon Martin... Neither side is technically innocent when the Dispatcher was clearly telling Zimmerman to back off, when he wouldn't. This lengthy courtroom case could've been avoided, had he simply backed off, documented Martin as a trespasser, and left the rest alone. I guarantee that nobody is going to commit to criminal acts when they're being watched, and that was the job that Zimmerman was suppose to be fulfilling; but we have this case, Martin dead as a result of assaulting Zimmerman, and finally Zimmerman a couple hundred thousand dollars richer because he sold the handgun that killed Martin for that price at an auction. Zimmerman would continue to be an a**hole in society, and I wouldn't lose any sleep if someone wacked him tomorrow...
Flyer He is saying racist because African Americans have a tendency to shorten and change the English language and make I “hood” or “ratchet”. That is why. I know. I am black!
There is a such thing called dialect. Sort of like the Spanish in Spain and the Spanish in Mexico, the French in France and the French in Canada, and the Korean in North Korea and the Korean in South Korea. In almost every language there is slang ter,s to shorten words and whatnot.
"WHAT ???!!!....I gotta return tomorrow for this shit ???.....you don't understand !. I be scheduled to perform 3 brain surgeries at the Mayo Clinic and then NASA wants me to help them launch the space shuttle.....I be BUSY !!!"
She wasn’t a witness, she isn’t the one Trayvon was talking to. The real Diamond refused to go along with the lie so they used her learning disable half sister.
@@mistercleaton5951 trayvons girlfriend was called diamond eugene and this girls name is completely different, supposedly they are sisters but his girlfriend didn’t want to testify for some reason so they brought her sister in.
I heard Trayvon say "Get Off ! Get off!" damn that bitch is a horrible liar. I hope she knows she made the case easier for everyone to see Zimmerman was not guilty. Thanks sugar!
Piece of shit is what he was. Sure as hell wasn't the poor innocent child they tried to portray. Adios to bad garbage. Great job George, you saved the taxpayers millions by not having to pay for that piece of shit for the rest of his life. That's exactly where he was going to end up...
Apezilla didn't look like she had very many brain cells inside that head of hers, The prosecuting attorney needs her to repeat herself on multiple accounts because she's either not speaking clear English or she's not speaking very loud, and is contradicting her self in court.
Wow Apezilla, YOU people are going to suffer for being so racist, GOD loves ALL of us, not just you "pure white" people. This is the VERY reason your children dump you in the nursing home and people like "Apezilla or Consuela" will be the ones that are taking care of you, just wait.
This is the crowd TM was hanging out with. From her attitude and stuff I get the impression that she was the one that probably convinced TM to double back and attack Zim. And when the phone went dead TM was winning that fight. That is why she wasn't concerned enough to call 911. It is also why she tried to stay under the radar once she found out TM died... she didn't want people figuring out what she did.
How about the fact that she has finished 11th grade in school, BUT can not read cursive. Good grief, by the time I was in the 6th grade I could read, and write cursive.
You have to be joking. Zimmerman was asked by the neighbors to watch out for criminal activity. One woman even had her back door broke down, she ran up stairs with her son, looked out the window and saw 3 black young men running away from her home. People were scared. and rightfuly scared. Zimmerman DID NOT start anything, he was doing what the neighbors asked him to do.
So when someone is breaking your nose and smashing your head against the pavement and you defend yourself and kill the attack, you're considered a murderer? Really? A murder is unlawful killing. Killing in self-defense is not murder.
I can't believe she got on a stand and spoke like that. Didn't she have anyone coaching her on how to present herself when she's giving a testimony? Ebonics is one thing but that wasn't the place for it.
1:07 the bad guy "went after her credibility." No, he exposed her contradictions, uncertainties, ambiguities, and unfounded assertions. You gotta LOVE how cnn makes it look like lying to the police is justified - she lied about not going to the funeral because she was so sad. when you're sad you can lie about anything...
"went after her credibility" is a reasonable shorthand for the actions you describe. The video shows the lawyer doing a good job of it. I don't think CNN attempted to justify anything the witness did here. She is not shown in a complimentary light to my eyes.
Holy mother Mary And david... They let this dipweed testify on Martins behalf? She reminds me of those old school side scrolling fighting games, where you can jump across the gap to the other side, and just watch her come chase you and she just falls down the cliff..
@naitethagr8 OJ did the crime and wasn't found guilty. Zimmerman did no crime and was found not guilty. They had to coach a liar to poorly lie on the stand to try and get a conviction. It failed.
Hey come on there are some good people that need section 8 housing for example someones home is destroyed but damage was not covered by insurance or loosing a husband or wife n need to move into section 8 housing till they get back on their feet. There is absolutely nothing wrong with families utilizing social service programs in their time of need.
That's one reason right there why it's being stirred up. They don't want racism to die. Yes it is a distraction, think about politics lately, whenever one guy brings up something really important; all people do is call him racist for not agreeing with the guy that's doing a poor job. Racism is one of the biggest scapegoats I think any of us will ever live to see.
Just so you know, you answered your question "So he is on the phone waiting for Zimmerman?" with a positive annotation making it seem like you truly believe that he was on the phone waiting for Zimmerman. If you don't even know simple language skills how is your opinion at all credible?
She was born & raised in the US. Even if Creole was spoken in the home, English is her native language. The answer to "Eddie Shtanton's" question is that she's simply (sadly) a product of Black Culture.
She's 19 -- She's old enough to do a tour in Iraq if she was in the military. At what age should people start being productive members of society and stop being a kid? She's an adult and needs to be treated as such.
I'm not telling you what to believe, and I'm certainly not disparaging Trayvon Martin by suggesting you look into ALL the details of his case before you go around convinced you know everything about the case, but read the book "The Trayvon Hoax", and you'll learn A LOT more FACTS about the case that might help you to understand what really happened. I'm not talking theories, or opinions, or feelings, or anything about Trayvon Martin even... In fact, if you read the book, you'll learn that Trayvon's death was mostly exploited by OTHER PEOPLE, for many reasons, and it's pretty shocking when you learn about how much corruption actually surrounds this whole case...
If you get proven to lie or contradict yourself esp if your accusing someone of something you should automatically get silenced and fined they need to crack down on people who lie against others trying to destroy their lives on the witness stand its not fair or justice at all . I BET IF THE DEFENDANT GOT CAUGHT LYING OR CONTRADICTING HIMSELF ON THE STAND IT WOULD GET RUNG OUT THATS NOT INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY OR JUSTICE!

😂😂😂😂
couldnt make the funeral but did hit the buffet after
Shut up racist bitch
In what way was that racist?
+JoeCnNd it wasn't everything is racism even if its not about race
lol
Hahaha
Who's here after finding out she was a fake witness?
Yep, she was manipulated i think
@theuser1045 The prosecutor yes, but the fake witness no. She's intellectually challenged and was taken advantage of.
Yes she was a fake witness watch the documentary
@@robertrockwell9773 I would like to watch it. What's the name? Do I just search Trayvon Martin documentary?
@@leyendadelarosa6599 you are an absolutely vile human being. i just KNOW you hate yourself.

SHES NOT EVEN THE RIGHT WITNESS!!! IT WAS HER SISTER
That lawyer is good. He's sarcastically but professionally mocking her. She got ate up on the witness stand
yah, great lawyer....
Yup that's the key
She basically did all the work for him.
It must be horrible to watch someone maliciously lie when your freedom is at stake.
It's difficult to hear the English language butchered so much.

The witness that helped Zimmerman win. God this was a joke to watch. lol
Nogahs If you listen closely during this "testimony", you can hear Trayvon rolling in his grave.
He didn't need any help, the evidence was in his favor regardless of this tard-whale.
@@NyQuilDonut exactly this land whale was just the icing on the cake
Piers Morgan thinks she is a real "smart cookie". Good judge, Morgan.
well if he said she was a gaping mouthed retard hed be call a racist misogynist blah blah

I can believe it prosecutors for being about "justice" really do shady things
This true ?

Like what kinda crap is that???? Why do all this switch-a-roo,? Trayvon Martin didn’t have no one on his side. Very sad
I heard Trayvon say "Get Off ! Get off!" damn that bitch is a horrible liar. I hope she knows she made the case easier for everyone to see Zimmerman was not guilty. Thanks sugar!
EXACTLY : She shows so much contempt for the Defense attorney. She has told so many lies, that she has NO credibality as a witness at all.
And Travyon smoked drugs, robbed houses, picked fights and got suspended from school. Multiple times.
uh-huh.
R. K. What does that have to do with him being killed for not doing any of those things at the moment? Oh.
Lourdes Centana Centana yeah witnesses saw Trayvon on top of Zimmerman, but he wasn’t punching the shit out of him?

she reminds me of the michellin tire man with that neck
Looks like untreated thyroid issues, actually.
Classic mouth breather...
Say what you will about her but she was amazing in Precious.
💀💀💀💀💀
Homerun
Huge lying whale
WHAT IS SHE LYING ABOUT?
she was lying about why she didnt go to the funeral
kenny wilson about not eating a cow whole
That thing is a teen? Jesus!
what is she lieing about not going to the funeral what does that have to do with the straight murder?
2:19 fucking priceless
Was she wheeled into court or did she manage to waddle in all on her own?
she walked in on her knuckles
Sir Sidney Ruff-Diamond She sits on a big sliding platform like Jabba the Hutt.
WE ARE ANONYMOUS ha
Sir Sidney Ruff-Diamond 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Maybe she was bussed?!?? Like Kamala Harris! 🤣🤣🤣
Shit Trayvon was fuking 9s and 10s
What an eloquent speaker
"I do not know how to read cursive" LOL
This was all a lie. She wasn’t on the phone with Trayvon Martin
What an all star witness for the prosecution.
I was expecting her to start drooling.
I axed him and he say?
😭😂
Fucken Jabba the Hutt.
Thanks
dat neck
What neck?
When the defense attorney was telling her what she said I wanted to laugh for some reason when it came to the grammar part.
You might wanna make sure your witness can read before they try to read something
She hurt the case so much
i cant get over that completely emptry look on her face and the open mouth staring.
She lied about EVERYTHING.
It looks like she was having a struggle to breath!
Apezilla didn't look like she had very many brain cells inside that head of hers, The prosecuting attorney needs her to repeat herself on multiple accounts because she's either not speaking clear English or she's not speaking very loud, and is contradicting her self in court.

“I had axed him........”
Wow...I got nothing.
i wonder if she felt ignorant after hearing the transcript of her own dialogue when the attorney read it back to her?
And Piers Morgan was saying she was supposed to be smart??? Are we looking at the same footage?
trayvon sho do got dat soft baby voice

So much for a star witness.

she has no damn idea who the attacker was, simply because Trayvon said "get off" doesn't mean a damn thing, lawyer should have objected.

Is that asphalt or hair on her "haid"?

The best part is the old white lawyer speaking in black speak.
Who in the right mind would think bringing this girl in as a witness was a good idea?

maybe the prosecution
What? I have to come again tommorow? This starting to look like exercise yo!

Racism is one of the biggest scapegoats I think any of us will ever live to see.
Zimmerman still meets the criteria of an upstanding citizen and also meets the scientific criteria for being "alive". Trayvon fails at both...

God I hate liars. Some people should just off themselves
Such an articulate young lady. I would guess that all of Travon’s friends have this unique way of communicating.
She was born & raised in the US. Even if Creole was spoken in the home, English is her native language. The answer to "Eddie Shtanton's" question is that she's simply (sadly) a product of Black Culture.
A clear example that drinking and drug use during pregnancy is contraindicated.
Questioning her like she the criminal
She just “be keeping it real” lol
she probably works at burger king and thought that you'd get some sort of reward for being a "useful" witness
She made it all up...
The lawyers did
It’s not nice to lie precious.

This lady stood between George Zimmerman and a very long time in prison and people act as though she was somehow abused by Don West.
