#QuintonTellis sister, Ragann, is on the stand. She says Big Mike was with her the night of the burning. They were at the sandbox and he got a call. He dropped her off at her house. She says the game Big Mike went to was on Sunday. And he was in town the night of the burning

The first witness was Latoya Taylor, the mother of an "Eric" who was questioned. It was a nothing burger.

Does anyone in this county eat any of their meals at home? It seems like everyone in this story gets all their meals from convenience stores.

Two nothing burgers and a liar IMO.

End of defense...which helped the prosecution IMO

Prosecution has one witness. On break waiting for them.

It’s day six of the #JessicaChambers murder trial. The state rested its case yesterday after calling 35 witnesses. #QuintonTellis is accused of lighting her on fire & killing her in 2014.

Court’s scheduled to begin around 9-9:30. I’ll start live tweeting when it does.

The defense has decided not to call one of their planned witnesses. They're now questioning the arson charge #QuintonTellis faces & what evidence supports it.

Bridget Chapman‏Verified account @bchapman_WREG3 37m37 minutes ago
His defense is asking for an acquittal. “There’s zero evidence that’s been offered by the state that would place #QuintonTellis at the scene of the crime.”

Judge overrules that motion. Jury's now being brought into the courtroom.

Defense calls their first witness: A woman who was a jailer with the Panola County Sheriff's Department the night #JessicaChambers was set on fire.

Bridget Chapman‏Verified account @bchapman_WREG3 29m29 minutes ago
She says she felt harassed the way law enforcement talked to her about who she was on the phone with that night and her son. Her son's name's Eric and he worked at Taco Bell. "I didn't like the way my son was approached about it," she said.

Bridget Chapman‏Verified account @bchapman_WREG3 28m28 minutes ago
She said law enforcement tried to talk to her son at school about it, but he wasn't there. They then went to her house. She took her son to the sheriff's department & they questioned him without her in the room.
"Since then, my son just has a thing with law enforcement."

Bridget Chapman‏Verified account @bchapman_WREG3 26m26 minutes ago
“So they followed up on any Eric that worked at Taco Bell, I see. Your son happened to be one,” says the state on cross examination.

Defense calls their second witness: A man who knew #JessicaChambers and met with her the morning of the day she died.

Bridget Chapman‏Verified account @bchapman_WREG3 20m20 minutes ago
He says a couple days later, law enforcement (unannounced) took him into custody. When he went to a store, he says officers pulled guns on him and pulled him out of the car.

Bridget Chapman‏Verified account @bchapman_WREG3 18m18 minutes ago
He says law enforcement started to talk to him about him being with #JessicaChambers the day she died & showed him surveillance video of them seen together. They took a swab for DNA & released him. He says he felt harassed.

Defense calls their third witness: Quinton Tellis' sister.

Bridget Chapman‏Verified account @bchapman_WREG3 14m14 minutes ago
Defense brings up how Quinton Tellis' sister, his mother and his friend "Big Mike" all have similar-looking cars.

Bridget Chapman‏Verified account @bchapman_WREG3 12m12 minutes ago
Tellis' sister says she was with Big Mike in Courtland the night #JessicaChambers died. Tellis said he borrowed Big Mike's car that night, which Big Mike testified wasn't true because he was in Nashville at a football game that night.

Bridget Chapman‏Verified account @bchapman_WREG3 9m9 minutes ago
Cross examination: State asks if she was with Big Mike all day at a house. She says yes.

“Are you aware that Big Mike is on video at the store at 2 o’clock by himself?” DA asks.

She still says they were together all that day. "I have no reason to lie," she says.

Bridget Chapman‏Verified account @bchapman_WREG3 8m8 minutes ago
State brings up how there is no cell phone data from that evening indicating Big Mike was in Courtland.
A supporter of Quinton Tellis is now being removed from the courtroom.
"Outbursts and comments will not be tolerated in my court," says the judge.

Taking 5-10 minute recess as we wait for next witness to be here.

The woman who was just kicked out of the courtroom was not happy to see the media filming her as she left. “Get those *advertiser censored**ing cameras out of my face,” she yelled.

Isn't there cell phone evidence that places Big Mike in Nashville that night?

Sorry y’all. Couldn’t really understand what she said

 

[rbarber17]

The sister of Quinton Tellis, Chanika Williams (aka Ragann), was called as the third defense witness of the day. Said she was with Big Mike at the "sand pit" all day Saturday, 12/6/14, the day of Jessica's murder. Says she saw her brother there, too.

During her cross-examination, DA Champion asked if she was aware they had video of Big Mike at the M&M store, by himself, that afternoon and that his cell phone records had been retrieved and showed he was not in Courtland after that (he had driven to Nashville with friends to see a game.) She was unable to explain the conflict between that evidence and her testimony.

Her final statement was she felt hurt that Big Mike, a friend, would sit here and lie.

I was not swayed.

Regards,
Clouseau
