I wonder if she was trying to say Tellis and it came out like Eric? Just a thought.

I have thought that. This is exactly what I said to my husband while watching the special on Oxygen.

Yes and could be why she never gave a last name. Last witness said she was getting agitated when people kept asking...could be why...she tried to tell them.

Something significant, to me anyway, emerged during this morning's testimony by Daryl House (sp?), one of the two deputies who responded to the scene before Jessica was taken by helicopter to Memphis. During cross examination, the defense asked him to read something from the bottom of his one-page report. He had stated that while he was in the back of the ambulance with Jessica, he asked her if it was her boyfriend that did this, to which she responded "No."

Now I can certainly see how in Jessica's condition that it would be difficult to understand answers to subjective questions like "Who are you?" and "Who did this to you?" But objective questions requiring only an "either this/or that" response, like "Yes/No" or "Black/White" would be easier to understand since the two choices have completely different sounds.

Unfortunately, nobody who questioned Jessica was practicing "three way communication" like pilots and air traffic controller use in their exchanges. It is basically this: (1) Question or command; (2) Response; (3) Verification of Response --- 1st party repeats the response heard. It adds objective clarity to an otherwise subjective response.

Regards,
Clouseau

Jessica Chambers: Jury instructions could make or break outcome of second Tellis trial

"...Jurors Wednesday heard the second day of testimony in the Tellis retrial for the 2014 burning death of Chambers, a 19-year-old from Panola County's Courtland community. As proceedings move toward a decision from jurors in the coming days, memories of how the first trial ended will become ever more relevant.

Phillip Broadhead, a clinical professor of law at Ole Miss, said Wednesday he had never seen a trial conclusion quite like the one in Tellis' first trial last October.

"I've seen juries be confused and send notes out," Broadhead said, "but I've never seen a jury come back and deliver a verdict that was completely erroneous. I tried my first case in 1982; through all those years, I've never seen a jury come back and give the wrong verdict."..."

[Bravo]

I will never forget the verdict confusion. I was confused as to why the Jury was confused. It did clarify the need for a Judge to poll the Jurors.

No one posting the tweets today? (I can do them, but don't want to step on anyone's toes)

 

[Openminded]

A better set of jury instructions will definitely be a step in the right direction but "Eric" is still the problem it's always been. I think there's a very good chance the jury will *not* vote guilty.

Gammel off the stand. Now on the stand, third witness of morning of day two of testimony: Bradley Dixon, an EMT today and EMT in 2014 when he assisted in #JessicaChambers first responder call.


Cathy Russon‏ @cathyrusson 2h2 hours ago
#JessicaChambers - EMT Bradley Dixon on the stand.

Brad Broders‏ @Local24Brad 2h2 hours ago
Dixon said the call on Herron Road was a "car fire with a possible burn victim". When ambulance arrived, he said it was loud with fire engines as ambulance was waved in to assist #JessicaChambers. #QuintonTellis


Bridget Chapman‏Verified account @bchapman_WREG3 2h2 hours ago
Now an EMT is on the stand. His priority on the scene in 2014 was patient care. He said his first thought when he saw #JessicaChambers was they needed a helicopter.


Cathy Russon‏ @cathyrusson 2h2 hours ago
#JessicaChambers - He arrived on the scene, approached Jessica. His initial thought was they needed a helicopter.


Brad Broders‏ @Local24Brad 2h2 hours ago
Dixon of what he remembered seeing #JessicaChambers injuries: (She was) burnt severely, skin was hanging off her lips, eyelashes were gone, her hair was a "giant singe ball".


Cathy Russon‏ @cathyrusson 2h2 hours ago
#JessicaChambers - Dixon: "She was burned over the entire part of her body."


Brad Broders‏ @Local24Brad 2h2 hours ago
Dixon: "(#JessicaChambers) was trying to respond. The condition of her voice was hard to understand. Very raspy, terrible, couldn't understand anything she was saying. The name I heard was "Eric" and two other words: "thirsty". It came out like "thursy" and "cold" like "oooo".


Brad Broders‏ @Local24Brad 2h2 hours ago
Dixon said #JessicaChambers was unable to move mouth or tongue. He's now being cross-examined. #QuintonTellis


Cathy Russon‏ @cathyrusson 2h2 hours ago
#JessicaChambers - Dixon testifies he heard Daniel Cole ask Jessica who did this to her while they were in the ambulance. He heard her say what sounded like Eric but without the hard K sound on the end,


Bridget Chapman‏Verified account @bchapman_WREG3 2h2 hours ago
"She was hard to understand, real raspy, just terrible. You couldn’t understand anything she was saying.” #JessicaChambers


SCOTT MADAUS‏ @scottmadaus 2h2 hours ago
The defense is conferring with each other. #JessicaChambers
