It's not a moral question, it was a legal question and the American law requires that the jury listens to the evidence presented." Jimmy Carter Atlanta, GA

  • Rachel Jeantel. in Black and White
    Ms, Jeantel described Tranyvon as a “calm, chill, loving person” and said she never saw him get “aggressive” or “lose his temper.” She said that the defense’s attempts to portray Martin as a “thug” were unfounded and defended his relatively mild drug use. “Weed don’t make him go crazy,” she said, “it just makes him go hungry.”
    She described her reaction to Zimmerman’s acquittal as “disappointed, upset and angry” and called the jury’s assessment of what happened “just B.S.”
