MORGAN: There's no E-R, right? It's --

JEANTEL: No. It's A at the end.

MORGAN: C-R-A-C-K-A?

JEANTEL: Yes, and that's a person who act like they are police, who like (INAUDIBLE), who acting like, that's what I said to them. Trayvon said creepy ass cracka.

MORGAN: It means he thought it was a policeman or a security guy.

JEANTEL: Yes. Who's acting like a policeman and then he keeps telling me that the man still watch him. So if it was a security guard or a policeman, they would come up to Trayvon and say, do you have -- do you need -- do you have a problem, do you need help? You know, like normal people.

I don't care what the dictionary says.... In Trayvon's world, this is what CRACKA means. (I mis spelled it in my earlier post)

And, for the sake of this situation, the only definition that counts is the one intended when Trayvon used the word.
Of course, none of this was testimony at the trial. Nor would it have been, I suspect, admissible.
