George Zimmerman may or may not be found guilty. But the prosecution in his trial in retrospect took a huge chance when they billed Rachel Jeantel as a star witness.
She proved a problematic witness on many counts. Her voice and style of speech flustered the court reporter, jury, and television audiences. At one point she could not read a letter that she had supposedly written.
The Daily Mail posted a long story detailing the problems undermining the credibility of Jeantel.
Defense lawyers grilled her on her own inconsistent testimony as well as racial slurs used by the victim Trayon Martin to describe Zimmerman.
In other news, now former New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez was arrested on charges of murder this morning.

Congresswoman Shelley Moore Capito released a statement yesterday expressing the outrage that she shares with other members of the congressional delegation, as well as many West Virginians. Obama's proposal to circumvent Congress to impose unconstitutional environmental regulations was called by Capito a "tyrannical . . . job killing plan."
Representative David McKinley and Senator Joe Manchin have released similarly strong statements.
