I'm agreeing with you that it's quite possible that Trayvon meant a "buttfucker" when he referred to George as a "creepy ass cracker", especially considering Rachel had speculated to Trayvon that George might be a rapist.
My point is, it was smart of the prosecution not to attempt to define what Trayvon meant with that characterization. The defense was trying to use the "cracker" reference to suggest that Trayvon attacked George based on race.
I don't think anyone on the jury would make that leap, though West did seem to enjoy repeating "creepy ass cracker". I think the jury would more easily believe that Trayvon was the initial physical aggressor if he'd been under belief that George was a chester. So, I think the prosecution was right not to argue the true meaning and move on.
My ass is going out walking, while white.
P.s. Hope you and your grandson had a good time at the Magic Kingdom. My mom said it was hot as hell there yesterday.
