George Zimmerman Trial UPDATE: Star Witness In Trayvon Martin Murder Case Rachel Jeantel Deletes Tweets

The star witness for the prosecution in the George Zimmerman trial, Rachel Jeantel, deleted ~50 incriminating tweets from her account (@MsRachel_94) before taking the stand in the Trayvon Martin case. Jeantel, who spoke on the phone with Martin before he was shot and killed by Zimmerman, deleted any posts related to alcohol and drug use, possibly fearing that Zimmerman's defense team would use the tweets to attack her character and reliability as a witness.

Via AllHipHop:

On Febraury (sic) 26th, a year after Trayvon's death, Rachel tweeted "Omg people calling n praying n shit lol I need a drink smoke and a pray my head killing me right now cannot wait when this day end."

Four days the trial began, Rachel tweet out a picture of bottles of alcohol with the caption "16months later wowww I need a drink."

The deletion of such tweets by the 19-year-old may seem excessive. However, if you think back to the early stages of the case, Zimmerman's attorneys attempted (and failed) to get Trayvon's alleged marijuana use entered as evidence.

Of course, attacking a 19-year-old over what she does in her spare time probably won't go over well with the jury, especially after that knock-knock joke.
