Rachel Jeantel . . . and the Critics

So, yes, Rachel Jeantel -- the young woman testifying in the George Zimmerman trial -- is not articulate. And, yes, she has attitude for days. 

But for those on FB and Twitter calling her names, please give her some credit.

She's only 19, and under terrific pressure right now . . . but she is up there on the stand -- and on national television -- bravely admitting to her prior deception and poor judgment, and willing to set the record straight in the name of justice.

I happen to think she's doing remarkably well under the circumstances.

I DON'T THINK ANYONE WHO SAW HER ON THE STAND CAN DENY THAT SHE SEEMS TO BE DOING THE BEST THAT SHE CAN.

Yep, I do think it's a shame she only seems fluent in ebonics, but that's the reality of it . . . and I don't FULLY put the blame on her for it.

Personally, I choose to praise her rather than criticize her.
