walking while black - Trayvon Martin

[username]

I'd be interested in hearing from some of the other jurors as well. I read in the story that Duchess posted that one of the women wanted to leave the jury at one point but the other women convinced her to stay. I think a few of those women just caved in.

While reading that story, I found a link to another...

The star witness for the prosecution in the Trayvon Martin murder trial, Rachel Jeantel, was offered a full scholarship to any historically black college or university she chooses.

"If you want to graduate from high school, and go to an HBCU, even if it’s not in Florida but especially Florida, like Florida Memorial, Edward Waters or FAMU, if you want to do that, I want to help you do that," radio host Tom Joyner told Jeantel on his show Tuesday morning.

"I will help you get tutors to get you out of high school, tutors to help you pass the SAT, and I will give you a full ride scholarship to any HBCU you’d like," he added.

I don't know why she's referred to as the prosecution's star witness. I don't really think the prosecution had a star witness.
