In an interview with HuffPost Live’s Marc Lamont Hill this week, Rachel Jeantel, Trayvon Martin’s friend and “star witness” in the George Zimmerman trial, said she believes Martin threw the first punch in the altercation that resulted in his death last year.
“I believe Trayvon hit first,” she said.
However, she argued Martin’s first blow was likely caused by Zimmerman attempting to grab and detain Martin.

That girl is so ignorant and STUPID it's not funny. I know my statement comes across as a put down, which it is, but seriously she is very uneducated.
I'm not sure if her schools failed her or if she failed the schools.
And if she is a match for tray, that makes it all the more reasonable to declare tray was a punk thug.
No malice but just the way it is.
I agree. Her lack of intelligence is a glaring example of the failure of public education system and black societys failure to address it.
she is the "Star Witness" and she is trying to make the most of this (Money) watch for her on oprah
Will you all please stop the madness...stop this stupid coverage and it might go away!

I agree with you. Now if THEY would only stop standing in traffic, throwing bricks at cops and store windows, assaulting people "this is for trayvon" type of crap, stop trying to find a cause to charge Z with civil rights violations, get the president and holdout to keep their mouths shut, etc., we MIGHT get past this madness.
But I'm just guessing.
I felt sorry for her. It is painfully obvious that no one has ever cared for her in her life.
Of course Trayvon threw the first punch after sneaking up on Zimmerman. Rachel can't deny this nor can anyone who watched the whole trial unless they have no reasoning skills or chose to keep on perpetuating lies.
Martin ran off while Zimmerman was on the phone with 911. That was when Z. was told he didn't need to follow M. He returned to his vehicle only to get back out to get house # for dispatcher after being asked location. Call ended and Z. hung around vehicle waiting for cops to arrive when he was punched in the nose by M. Everything happened right in close proximity to Z.'s vehicle proving M. was stalking and following Z. because M. had run away at one point.
Keep thinking she is stupid. She will be stupid all the way to the bank. She was on TV today with HER ATTORNEY. To top it all off Tom Joyner has offered her a full scholarship because he wants to help her. I'm sure his offer is because he realizes, like many of us, she is under educated and needs help. When asked what she wanted to do in the future all she could do was read her script. She said "I'm blessed...". She probably never thought she had a future, now she has opportunity to change her life and style of life. Lets see what she does with this great opportunity.
