She said she couldn't read cursive, but then she was only 19 ad the product of an American public school system. I guess you don't learn that stuff until your freshman year at university, but I really don't get her inability to articulate orally.
Prosecution's star witness, whew!
I think it's a comprehension issue on your part.
She said she couldn't read someone else's cursive. Not quite the same thing. Not even sure why we insist on teaching kids this 19th century skill they will never use. I haven't written in Cursive since the 1980's. No reason for it. We should be teaching these kids typing. That's what they are going to actually use.
But frankly, a college educated lawyer badgered a 19 year old girl, and you guys think this is wonderful.
But as long as white failures like you can feel superior to them, that's all that counts. It's how you keep the Rubes in line.
That's a lie....find me a link that says that..
In a painfully embarrassing moment, Jeantel was
forced to admit that she did not write a letter that was sent to Martin's mother describing what she allegedly heard on a phone call with Martin moments before he was shot. It came when West asked her to read the letter aloud in court.
"Are you able to read that at all?" West asked.
Jeantel, head bowed, eyes averted whispered into the court microphone, "Some but not all.
I don't read cursive."
It sent a hush through the packed courtroom.
She was unable to read any of the letter save for her name, date and the words "thank you."

Nothing at all said that she couldn't read someone else's cursive. Besides, if she did dictate the letter to someone else, I would think she would know what she had them write down! She could have said she herself didn't write it (instead of lying) but then she could have told the court what she had them write. There's a disconnect here somewhere, but you go ahead a make up excuses for her......
