and my take-away is that the prosecution had a gem of a witness but did not know it- OR - they ignored it. They left her out to hang when they should have been questioning her in a way that would reveal her perspective. She could have taught the jury what it is like to be black in America, that kids are taught to be on the lookout for sexual predators. Instead, the prosecution allowed her to be characterized in the most unflattering light such that she was diminished as a witness. Both sides took away her ability to speak for Trayvon.

Prosecution is talking big today but they are inept at best or crooked.
