Sybrina Fulton, from one mother to another, I only wish I could be as composed and dignified

as you were today if I had the misfortune to be in your shoes.

You are an example of true grace.

I was screaming and cursing out loud while watching that scumbag lawyer cross examine you. I am in awe of your strength.

because i'm sure i'll be so pissed off. but i watched her testimony, and i can't recall ever seeing a worse cross examination ever. "you must have hoped it would be Trayvon screaming on that tape"?!

i'm with you - i don't think i could have remained so composed.

I am Sybrina Fulton. I don't want anyone to hurt her any more. Those few moments of her testimony and cross examination I just can't get out of my head. The defense is just doing its job, but it's a brutal experience for Trayvon's family. Oh those poor people!!!!
