If I'm ever bored enough to sit and watch live court coverage, might as well just shoot myself in the head.

Ms. Jeantel was worth the price of admission, and I'm sad I missed the no-speaka-english with huge jugs.  The rest seems like it's been kinda meh.

Scroll back a few pages and I posted a link to her testimony.  :D

That's how I found out about her.  Thanks, btw.

The cops were fun.

5 1/2 hours? I think not.

Well, not the whole thing.  Who has that much time?

The defense certainly felt the jury did.

That's what they're there for.  And if you were the defense, wouldn't you have wanted her there as long as possible?

I would think, as a defense attorney, I'd pretty much give up trying to get a witness to change the story after the first 3 or 4 attempts.  I know it certainly never worked on me as a witness.

I think they exposed her lack of credibility pretty well, though.  Plus from an entertainment perspective she was gold-- particularly the moment when she said she didn't read cursive, even though the letter they were asking her to read was supposedly written by her.

Not really.  The basics of her story as a listening witness while on the phone didn't change. 

And, no, she didn't write the letter, dummy.  It was written for her by someone else as she dictated her statement.  Stop trying to hate black people so fucking much.  Creepy ass forehead.

So in your world that 300 lb. lump of ghetto attitude represents black people?  Now that's offensive.

...sigh...

#1, she's not 300 lbs.
#2, she's not ghetto, nor does she have an attitude.
#3, she doesn't represent black people.  I do.
