VERDICT WATCH MS - Jessica Chambers, 19, Panola County, Dec 2014 #4

[Tssiemer]

I’m thinking hung jury. It’s hard to get past the “Eric” thing.

 

[BUF]

I'm going to remain hopeful today. I think it will be Guilty. I pray!!!!

Me too...let's keep those positive thoughts rolling!

Guilty, it's just got to be.

Jury deliberating verdict in Jessica Chambers murder trial (with clips)

"BATESVILLE, Miss. — After sitting through days of testimony, the jury has officially began deliberating a verdict in Quinton Tellis' retrial in the murder of Jessica Chambers.

The state rested its case Saturday and the jury went into recess until 9 or 9:30 Sunday morning.

Part One..."

I was just curious what everyone here is thinking in regards to "Guilty" or "Not Guilty?" Or, maybe a mistrial again? Bonnie and I think "Not Guilty." This is not our personal belief, but watching this trial and the fact they didn't return a verdict last night, we are thinking the jury is going to render a "Not Guilty" verdict. I want to hear what you think, based on the "FACTS" of the trial and not whether you think he personally did it or not.

Just Curious,

Clyde

For me: (maybe not the jury's verdict)

Guilty-

1. the burns on his body

2. the cell phone testimony and his deleting texts

3. the MDs testimony that she couldn't have spoken intelligently where people could understand what she actually said- so no "Eric/Derick"

4. his lying at the police interrogation (innocent people don't have to lie)

5. not evidence- how nervous he was when the jury visited the crime scene- wiping his face, etc. (according to the tweets)

 

[Not a Belle]

I am hoping for Guilty, but think NG or hung jury more likely. I hope they prove me wrong.

The three white vans carrying jurors just pulled into the back of the Panola County Courthouse. Ready to try again today. #JessicaChambers @memphisnews @clarionledger

#JessicaChambers’ stepmom just arrived at the courthouse. When asked how last night was, she replied “terrible.” They’re hopeful for a verdict today.

Brother Clyde,

Here is a link to one of my posts in an earlier WS Jessica Chambers thread. As you can see, the deadlocked jury had voted 7-5 to convict. The mod-snip shortened the names in my original post to initials, I assume over privacy concerns, even though the Judge had read the names of each juror in open court when he polled them:

MS - Jessica Chambers, 19, Panola County, Dec 2014 #3 *MISTRIAL*

For me, if the prosecution was able to get that many to agree there was not a reasonable doubt in the first trial, after Darla Palmer had all but placed "Eric the Phantom" in the witness box in her closing argument, and after she and Peterson both mentioned the "Mysterious Stranger" who had to be shooed away from the crime scene but was never identified by LE as a stone unturned and a detail overlooked, then with both of those major holes plugged this time, I'd be surprised if there are more than 1-2 holdouts.

I did notice during the defense witness questioning, the defense started tooting on the "Police Harrassment" dog whistle, for those with ears to hear. Not sure what effect it will have on this jury, sympathy-wise, with a jury composition of 9 African-American/3 White. There were no defense witnesses last time. I think most people are saavy enough to know when they are being played. Nice try, but no cigar.

JMO,
Clouseau

 

[Bravo]

Justice for Jessica (long over due) please Jurors look at the evidence with logic. This time.

Another family member says they understand the jurors need to take their time with this decision & said she knows #JessicaChambers is in heaven and “there are no tears in heaven.”

Wow. Judge just said someone posted a picture of the jury on Facebook last night & they’re going to be arrested. #JessicaChambers

Judge just informed all of us at a spectator slipped his cell phone into the court room yesterday and posted a picture of the jury on social media. That person was arrested and will face jail time. #JessicaChambers

Someone trying to cause a mistrial????? Hmmmm...

The jury is officially deliberating the verdict again. They deliberated for almost 5 hours yesterday. #JessicaChambers

There is chatter on the chat on the Law & Crime site that the jury foreperson saw two episodes of Oxygen's Jessica Chambers series before the trial. Apparently she divulged this.

I hope it wasn’t a defense tactic.

YOU GOTTA BE KIDDIN’ me!

 

[Bravo]

My guess would be a Tellis supporter who outed the Jury.

1st look at Quinton Tellis this morning. #JessicaChambers

 

[Bravo]

I have no issue with the Juror viewing the J.C. series. I'm glad she outed it. What is important is if the Juror can base their decision of facts heard in Court only. Many a Juror has heard something in the press on a case they are seated for.
