Special Agent Blunt said in December 18, 2014 interview, Tellis told him he went to M & M's grocery store and learned that #JessicaChambers had been killed, asked "who did it?"

I hope the Jurors know what UNANIMOUS means. Verdict Day was a complete "shambles" in the first trial, simply because the Jurors did not understand what the word "UNANIMOUS" meant. Most of us following here, if not all of us, were shocked to the core.

The apparent collective lack of intelligence on the first jury was VERY shocking to me.

Special Agent Blount said in interview Quinton Tellis showed him a five-gallon gas can in shed in front of his home.
 
Yes. Once they start going over the phone pings that show exactly where he was, etc. it's impossible to believe it was anyone else.


Gotcha. I was thrown off by the "eric" that she supposedly said set her on fire. When the show I was watching showed I believe Cole's testimony, and him crying.. oh my heart.

It is indeed the defense's best piece of evidence. If she had said nothing at all, he'd have been convicted, in my opinion. Although maybe not.....that jury was very.....special....

#JessicaChambers - Trauma nurse, Angela Overton, was working in the burn unit at Regional med ctr in Memphis the night Jessica was brought in.

Cathy Russon‏ @cathyrusson 8m8 minutes ago
#JessicaChambers - Overton is the THIRD new witness in this trial - didn't testify last trial.

Brad Broders‏ @Local24Brad 9m9 minutes ago
Now on stand. Angela Overton, on staff at Regional One Medical Center in Memphis the night a badly burned #JessicaChambers was airlifted. Overton said what made Chambers' condition unique was that "someone had done this to her", compared to most burn victims from house fires.

Brad Broders‏ @Local24Brad 7m7 minutes ago
Overton: I tried to communicate with Chambers that night but she was unable to answer questions. There was no sound outside of tubes being changed. She sounded like she was trying to speak but it only came out as gargle. Said #JessicaChambers survival rate was 'slim to none'.

Brad Broders‏ @Local24Brad 5m5 minutes ago
Overton recaps a picture of #JessicaChambers during her "comfort care" at Regional One, not long before she died night of December 6-7, 2014. #QuintonTellis

Sorry, folks, our livestream outside the courtroom is breaking up pretty badly, so I haven’t been able to tweet much. Basically, we’ve had medical experts talking about how dire Jessica’s situation was when she arrived at burn unit. No chance to live. @memphisnews @clarionledger

Brad Broders‏ @Local24Brad 45m45 minutes ago
Now on stand: burn specialist William Hickerson, who is analyzing the severity of burns on #JessicaChambers body from crime. He said her burn injuries were "among the worst" he's ever analyzed in his career.

Brad Broders‏ @Local24Brad 42m42 minutes ago
Loved ones of #JessicaChambers visibly emotional in last few minutes as graphic burn injury pictures are shown. Not to mention, Regional One Burn Center staff member described Jessica's final moments in 'comfort care' when it was clear she wouldn't survive her burn injuries.

Brad Broders‏ @Local24Brad 23m23 minutes ago
Mother and father of #JessicaChambers visibly emotional in courtroom. #QuintonTellis

#JessicaChambers - Horrific photos of the Jessica's burns are being shown to the jury.

State: What type of pain would this child be in?
Doctor: It's really difficult to explain this type of pain because it's just tremendous... To have it to this extent, I personally cannot even imagine what it'd be like.

Cathy Russon‏ @cathyrusson 24m24 minutes ago
#JessicaChambers - Dr. Hickerson says Jessica wouldn't have been able to communicate, however this jury heard from 10 witnesses that she was communicating.

Bridget Chapman‏Verified account @bchapman_WREG3 13m13 minutes ago
He says #JessicaChambers likely wanted to communicate, but her burns would've only allowed her to make sounds.
 
Picking up some tweets from Bridget Chapman:

He interviewed #QuintonTellis.

"He said they had a good relationship. It wasn’t too long before the interview they’d actually met one another but since the time they met, they developed a good friendship.”

Bridget Chapman‏Verified account @bchapman_WREG3 2h2 hours ago
He says Tellis told him he & #JessicaChambers had sex one time in a car.

Bridget Chapman‏Verified account @bchapman_WREG3 2h2 hours ago
This is what the scene looks like today of where #JessicaChambers’ car was found on fire in 2014. A memorial now stands there.

He says #QuintonTellis told him he'd been with Chambers the morning of the day she was set on fire. He said Tellis later showed him his shed where he keeps a dirtbike and a five-gallon gasoline can. #JessicaChambers

He says Tellis told him he deleted Chambers' text messages from his phone a few days after her death.

Bridget Chapman‏Verified account @bchapman_WREG3 2h2 hours ago
He says Tellis told him when he found out about #JessicaChambers' death, he heard someone had already been picked up for it.

Bridget Chapman‏Verified account @bchapman_WREG3 1h1 hour ago
He says Tellis told him he met Chambers' through Chambers' friend. However, that friend testified earlier this week she met Tellis through Chambers.

Bridget Chapman‏Verified account @bchapman_WREG3 1h1 hour ago
He says Tellis told him when they had sex in the car, it was in the reclined passenger seat. (When Chambers' car was found on fire, the passenger seat was reclined)

Next witness up: A nurse who worked in the burn unit at the Regional Medical Center in Memphis & treated Chambers.

Bridget Chapman‏Verified account @bchapman_WREG3 1h1 hour ago
The nurse says #JessicaChambers was an unusual case. "It was unusual because we were told someone had done this to her, versus a house fire or something like that.”

Bridget Chapman‏Verified account @bchapman_WREG3 1h1 hour ago
She says Chambers was unable to respond to any of their questions -- Even ones where'd they'd say "blink once if the answer is yes," etc.

Bridget Chapman‏Verified account @bchapman_WREG3 1h1 hour ago
"Her survival rate was slim to none."

They put #JessicaChambers on 'comfort care,' which is when they don't expect them to live. They try to make them as comfortable as possible.

Bridget Chapman‏Verified account @bchapman_WREG3 1h1 hour ago
She says the nursing staff was very quiet.

"I think we were kind of in shock because of her age, she was so young, to think someone would do this to her."

This nurse in particular says she took it extra hard because she had a daughter the same age at the time.

Bridget Chapman‏Verified account @bchapman_WREG3 1h1 hour ago
They advised Chambers' family she was going to die and allowed her family to come talk to her/have time with her. Chambers then passed away at the Regional Medical Center in Memphis.

Bridget Chapman‏Verified account @bchapman_WREG3 1h1 hour ago
Chambers' family is visibly emotional having to relive this moment.

Bridget Chapman‏Verified account @bchapman_WREG3 60m60 minutes ago
A plastic surgeon specializing in burns is now on the stand. He's the director of the burn unit at Regional Medical Center. He says he was contacted the night #JessicaChambers went to the burn unit & sent photos of her. She had 3rd degree burns well-over 90 percent of her body.

Bridget Chapman‏Verified account @bchapman_WREG3 59m59 minutes ago
He says in a situation like this, a 3rd degree burn is very similar to leather.

Bridget Chapman‏Verified account @bchapman_WREG3 56m56 minutes ago
Images of #JessicaChambers' burned body are being shown again in court. Once again, her parents look down and away from the photos.

Bridget Chapman‏Verified account @bchapman_WREG3 53m53 minutes ago

"Once the skin is burned like this, then it’s like putting a cast on."

Bridget Chapman‏Verified account @bchapman_WREG3 46m46 minutes ago
Doctor says there are marks below her breasts that look like bruising & would not be from the fire.
 
Bridget Chapman‏Verified account @bchapman_WREG3 38m38 minutes ago
Looking at more photos of inside #JessicaChambers' throat and her face, doctor says it would've been very, very difficult to make sounds that are understood. He says based on what he sees, she couldn't have been speaking.

Bridget Chapman‏Verified account @bchapman_WREG3 37m37 minutes ago
Based on her burns, he thinks she was exposed to heat for 3-5 minutes.

Bridget Chapman‏Verified account @bchapman_WREG3 36m36 minutes ago
"I think the general sounds she would make may be interpreted as things," but he thinks they were likely to be more of pain sounds.

Bridget Chapman‏Verified account @bchapman_WREG3 25m25 minutes ago
The defense brings up how several first responders said they heard #JessicaChambers say words. Doctor says he doesn't believe it'd be possible. He says those first responders were also in shock, had never experienced this before & wanted to make sense of anything they could.

Bridget Chapman‏Verified account @bchapman_WREG3 24m24 minutes ago

We're now taking an afternoon recess.

Cathy Russon‏ @cathyrusson 9m9 minutes ago
#JessicaChambers - 20 min break
 
Ron Maxey‏ @rmaxey1 19m19 minutes ago
Were at the afternoon break. Dr. William Hickerson from the burn unit at Regional One took control of his testimony from defense attorney Darla Palmer, telling her at one point: “My momma didn’t raise no liar.” #JessicaChambers

Ron Maxey‏ @rmaxey1 17m17 minutes ago
Back in court after a short break. Probably taking a dinner break at that point before tonight’s te-enactment at the crime scene. Lots of testimony and two field trips — a lot for one day. #JessicaChambers @memphisnews @clarionledger
 
Back to Therese Apel:

‏Verified account @TRex21 16m16 minutes ago
Testimony just now from Dr. William Hickerson with powerful and forceful. He stated over and over again to repeated questions from the defense that it was his opinion that there was no way #JessicaChambers could have said anything intelligible.

‏Verified account @TRex21 14m14 minutes ago
Defense attorney Darla Palmer kept trying to ask the same question by rephrasing them to which Dr Hickerson stood firm that he was not changing his opinion.

‏Verified account @TRex21 13m13 minutes ago
He explained that people in the position they responders were in often try to make sense of what they hear but in Jessica‘s condition she would want to name her killer, but physically would be absolutely unable.
