Rachel Jeantel discusses George Zimmerman Trial Verdict with Piers Morgan [VIDEO]; Trayvon Martin "was trying to get home"; Talks about use of N-word

Rachel Jeantel, friend of Trayvon Martin, discussed the George Zimmerman trial verdict with Piers Morgan on CNN. 

Rachel Jeantel testified in the murder trial of George Zimmerman over the death of Trayvon Martin.  She was on the phone with Trayvon prior to his death.  Rachel Jeantel's testimony set off a media firestorm.

Jeantel said that she "had a feeling" that the verdict would come back the way it did, due to the makeup of the George Zimmerman trial jury of 5 white women and one Hispanic lady.

Rachel Jeantel said that George Zimmerman's killing of Trayvon Martin was definitely racial: "It was racial. Let's be honest. Racial. If he -- if Trayvon was white and he had a hoodie on, would that happen? Because I ask you, that was around 7:00 or something. That's around the time people walk their dogs, people stand outside, all that."

Rachel Jeantel responded strongly to claims she was "uneducated" and has "no communication skills", saying she felt "Angry. Upset. And then the closing -- when the state closed they're trying to explain what kind of person I am. You can see the kind of person I am. Out of the whole stand I never cussed out Don."

Rachel Jeantel had some choice words for the daughter of the defense attorney who cross-examined her, Don West.  Molly West took to Twitter after Jeantel's testimony to say: "We beat stupidity, celebration cones." Adding the hashtags #zimmerman, #defense, #dadkilledit

Jeantel said: "Look at the picture. There is blonde females. Imagine. Where we live, where everybody live, blondes are dumb. They say dumb things. So that's some dumb blond. And I really don't care. To me, I won. He could have won by law trying to act like a -- no offense, a jackass. But that's him, that's him doing his job. He got to get that check. It's all about that check."
