CONVENIENT: Travyon Martin’s Friend Grilled By Defense, Says Calling Zimmerman ‘Creepy-A** Cracker’ Not ‘Racial Comment’

Alluding to yesterday’s testimony, West asked about Martin characterizing Zimmerman as a “creepy-ass cracker” — which Jeantel felt was not a racist remark.

To that point, West recalled Jeantel’s previous testimony — during which she said Martin described Zimmerman as a “creepy-ass cracker.”
