    After a rousing day of testimony yesterday in the George Zimmerman trial, today promises to be no less exciting for court followers. Beginning and continuing this morning with the prosecutions key witness, Miss Rachel 'Diamond' Jeantel, also known affectionately to many as Dee Dee, and to most as Witness # 8.

    Yesterday describing in detail the telephone conversation she was having with Travon Martin, that was to become his very last. She spoke of the "creepy azz cracka" that was stalking Travon, his attempt to elude George Zimmerman, as he followed young Travon relentlessly throughout the complex know as Retreat at Twin Lakes, that all calumniated in the final thing she heard... "Get off, get off," the sound of wet grass, and then silence.

    ~~~~~~~~


    She further testified yesterday, "I never watch the news," in fact, repeated it with emphasis, several times. And of course, expressed her reluctance at the thought of being involved in any court proceedings.

    Her social media postings however, seem to perhaps contradict at least the first and perhaps even both statements, at times alluding to the coverage on CNN and HLN. Also posting pix of her "court nails".


    Will this be brought up in court today? Thoughts/comments?


    Below is related article, including her a few of her social media postings

    On February 26, the one-year anniversary of Martin’s death, Jeantel tweeted, “Omg people calling n praying n (*)(*)(*)(*) lol I need a drink smoke and a pray my head killing me right now cannot wait when this day end.”



    “Ms. Diamond”--noted, “(*)(*)(*)(*) always happen when u doin Gud wit life .last year I had to deal wit people dyin n I’m tired of all those (*)(*)(*)(*)s makin me not think right.”


    In posts over the past ten days, Jeantel seems to be preparing for her turn on the witness stand at the Zimmerman trial. On June 16, a list of seven items she posted included the notations “3.get ready for count” and “4.deal with the bull come with it.” It appears that she misspelled “court” in the first item. She also wrote, “7.I’m going need a lot of drinks for dis summer oh lord.”


    “Lol we going to hell for smoke on Sunday I need some more drink,” one tweet noted. A follow-up tweet read, “I hope I dnt hit no one tonight lord plz watch my driving.”


    ~~~~~


    If brought up in court later this morning, do you guys think this will have any impact with the jurors?

    I'm not so sure that it will. Although I'm sure it will be somehow tied to character, and whether or not she is representing herself truthfully.



    Thoughts/opinions?

    rachel's testimony is entertaining at times. watching her having to repeat what she says because no one can understand her is a riot. she has admitted to lies and got caught with one of her contradicting statements. today should be interesting as west continues to discredit her on the stand.

    I'm curious to see if they are mentioned, and if so, what her response will be.

    I agree. I heard on one of the media broadcast last night, that several of her tweets and post have been deleted. However, I'm sure there are copies of them somewhere.


    People really should exercise good judgement when blowing up social media sites, like Twitter and Facebook. Things you write can definitely come back to bite.


    ...although it does sometimes make for good entertainment. lol

    Martin friend returns to stand at Zimmerman trial.


    One of the prosecution's most important witnesses in the Trayvon Martin murder case will face a second round of pointed defense questioning Thursday about what she heard while on the phone with the teen right before he was killed.

    That is one rough diamond. **WHAT'S HAPPENING in the court, a spanking combo of Dee and Shirley.**

    **must be a child of the 70's to pick up that reference.

    You know, I gotta say, until I started reading here at PF, I really didn't realize the use of the word Cracker (Cracka). I mean, of course I had heard of it, it's use, but reading here it seems as though it's use is much more widely used, than I would have ever guessed.

    Is it really?


    Never in my life have I personally heard it used, in the context of referring to a white person.


    I've been referred to as a few things, perhaps more than I know of, but never Cracka.


    ~~~~~~~



    I'm more often referred to as King and even god. Often intertwined... "Oh god, oh god! ...you're the king!"

    And he also called Zim a nig- I love how the only racial element here is the racists that support Travyon. I love being right about basically everything. No one is loving this more than me.

    I noticed that also, RP.


    I suppose I just don't understand the mindset of outrage and acceptance. Why things seem acceptable for some, but not for others.

    LAst night I was watching some show that had a bunch of talking heads- and one of the LAwyers started to get it, you could see the wheels turning that George just may have been the victim here. The media is freaking over the facts- they cant even bring themselves to report Tray called George a nig- What is the State thinking? Is Trayvon going to come into the courtroom and we will find this has been a legal hoax?

    Didn't she reference a TV crime drama as a reason she didn't call the police? That has Crump coaching written all over it.

    HLN is pretty much unwatchable. I cannot wait to see their faces after an acquittal.

    I refuse to watch HLN because its way below my IQ level and I wonder why these dumbasses didn't learn from the Casey case where they were emotional basket cases. I hate Vinnie Politan the most, I am pretty sure he has a vagina.

    I thought that was a bit odd as well. I think the reference went over the head of Mr. West, which I understand. Obviously he (everyone) was having difficulty hearing/understanding her.


    That is an interesting point Don.

    Yes I liked the part where Dee Dee testified that because she watches The First 48 ... she was expecting a call from the cops because they always call the last number the victim was speaking too ... so when they never called her she thought she was not a part of the case ...


    Say what as beady old man eyes turn to hate

    You can even say it on t.v., and it doesn't even have to be in the context of comedy. Double standards much? Note the irony...

    I wonder if she will even show. No doubt she finished off the mini bar at the hotel the State has put her up in by this morning.
