Defense attorney Don West asks Rachel Jeantel to read the letter. She tells him she can't. "I don't read cursive," she said.

If Jeantel is the star witness, prosecution has lost. She doesn't understand simple questions, she IS RACIST, and she is incoherent.

There's something powerfully real and convincing about #RachelJeantal – the reluctant, but crucial witness. #trayvon

West: You didn't call police or tell anyone because Trayvon started the fight? Jeantel: No. "That's real retarded to do."

Wait, the star witness called the defense attorney retarded? Maybe I should be watching.

"That's retarded sir" > "That's a clown question bro."

Maybe I'm old-fashioned, but saying "retarded" might not be the most respectful word to use in a court of law – #Zimmerman – cc: @Thearcus

I'm pretty sure #RachelJeantel is a flight risk during the lunch recess. #ZimmermanTrial

"Thats retarded sir" so #RachelJeantel is not only racist, but anti-special needs. WHERE WILL IT END?!?

I'm just kidding y'all. #RachelJeantel is a shining, inspiring example of courage and honesty. Signed, a retarded creepy-ass cracker.

Next thing you know, #RachelJeantel will use the "No I can use that word because I have a retard friend!" excuse. #zimmermantrial

The "retarded" remark Jeantel used didn't sit well with the jury. Groans.

Jury didn't look bemused by Jeantel over "retarded"remarks.B51 + E40 had their hands placed on their mouths.B29 looked away from her
