HeadlineJun 27, 2013

The second-degree murder trial of George Zimmerman for killing unarmed African-American teenager Trayvon Martin continues in Florida. On Wednesday, Martin’s friend, Rachel Jeantel, took the stand to testify about her phone conversation with Martin just before Zimmerman shot him dead. Jeantel said Martin described Zimmerman as a “creepy” man who was following him. She said Martin’s last words were “Get off! Get off!” before the line went dead. Her testimony continues today.
