Known as Witness #8 but identified in court yesterday by her first name only, Rachel, the young woman was a friend of Martin’s, the unarmed 17-year old teen shot to death by Zimmerman in the racially charged case.

According to Reuters, “In opening statements Monday, the prosecution portrayed Zimmerman as a man with a concealed weapon who committed a vigilante-style killing. The defense suggested that Martin was the aggressor, and Zimmerman acted to protect his own life.”

However, Zimmerman is claiming that as a member of the neighborhood’s watch team, he was justified in his shooting of Martin because Martin blatantly attacked him.

Just as prominent in this case as Martin’s unfortunate shooting is the racial tensions piling up behind the scenes. Zimmerman opponents are claiming he knowingly profiled Martin because he was a young African-American male wearing a hooded sweatshirt and just happened to be unarmed at the time of the shooting. Zimmerman proceeded to contact the police due to his suspicions, but the authorities iterated that Zimmerman not pursue Martin. He did anyways.

Proponents note that Zimmerman is of Hispanic descent and was raised in a multicultural family and therefore racism was not a factor in the matter. And of course, because Zimmerman claims Martin was the first to attack, his shooting in self defense was necessary for his own survival.

The case has proved to be extremely polarizing for the American public with both sides stacking supporters in their favor. Be sure to check out our live strema above for the actual court case and real-time updates.
