Rachel Jeantel, Trayvon Martin’s childhood friend from Miami, remained under cross-examination by George Zimmerman’s defense team in Sanford, Florida Thursday as they attempt to discredit her testimony.
Jeantel, now 19, was on the phone with 17-year-old Martin moments before he was shot and killed by Zimmerman. She has been called the prosecution's star witness for her testimony that Martin was being followed by Zimmerman before their confrontation.
