First let's all start with that neck... Facebook was going in yesterday. The woman who was on the phone with Trayvon Martin when he was confronted and shot by George Zimmerman inside a gated community took the witness stand yesterday. Rachel Jeantel, 19, told jurors she was not Trayvon’s girlfriend. She recounted the phone conversation she had with Trayvon before he was shot to death by the self-appointed neighborhood watchman inside the Retreat at Twin Lakes subdivision in February.
Speaking almost in a whisper, Jeantel said Trayvon used the N-word several times as she described what she heard Martin say to a male. She said Trayvon told her the man was following him as he returned to his father’s fiancee’s home from a convenience store. He described the man as “creepy” and a “cracker.”
Jeantel said she told Trayvon to run as Zimmerman pursued him in the darkness. Jeantel said she heard a male voice ask Trayvon, “What are you doing here?” She then said she heard the sounds of a struggle and Trayvon saying “Get off. Get off.” She said the call was disconnected at that point. Jeantel did not mention the words “Get off” in deposition transcripts.
The judge then called a 15-minute recess. Jeantel is now on the witness stand being cross examined by the defense.
this is a sad story. I hope they put him under the jail. And yes, lol she's a big girl. They should have prep her for the case. she was a mess on that stand.
