The Trayvon Martin murder case is well on the way and it has already given birth to its first celebrity in star witness Rachel Jeantel, friend of Trayvon. Jeantel's testimony is critical in the case because she was the last person to speak with the teenager gunned down in an alleged self defense effort by George Zimmerman. Jeantel has been a real attraction for the televised trial because of her sometimes animated body language, facial expressions and muffled responses. Her body language is that of someone who has better things to do. When the Judge asked the prosecutor how much longer he would need her on the stand, he told the judge he needed her for about 2 hours or so. Jeantel's response was "What?" with a facial expression that read "I have better things to be doing". After the trial is done, she will no doubt get invites to do the major morning talk shows and maybe even a book deal (Hey this is America). For now, she will hold the title of star witness and try to help prove her friend was pursued and killed by an overzealous George Zimmerman. Also in the meantime, the media will continue to dig up some irrelevant things on her like the fact that she drinks and gets high, like most American teenagers. However there is a pattern of lying on her part. Here are a few fun facts on the 19 yr old:
- According to her Facebook page, she went to Miami Norland Senior High School
- She also said she attended Miami University of Ohio and studied criminal justice there, according to her Facebook page. An official at the registrar's officer there told MSN News that no student named Rachel Jeantel recently attended the university. The registrar's office at the University of Miami in Florida would not disclose school records over the phone.
- On Facebook, Jeantel posted pictures of her new manicure, which she called her "court nails."
- Jeantel allegedly scrubbed her Twitter account of tweets and pictures related to smoking and drinking yesterday afternoon, the Smoking Gun reported.
- "Party time lets get high," she reportedly tweeted on February 24.
- On June 21, Jeantel reportedly wrote, "16 months later wowww [sic] I need a drink."
