If I'm the family I'm actually quite thrilled the defense attorney screwed up three times like this.
 
The only thing better would be if the defense attorney referred to Tellis as "Eric Tellis."
 
Can the defense attorney's mistake of calling Jessica Ericka be used for an appeal if jury returns a guilty verdict ?

No. Closing arguments are not considered evidence in a case. Plus, a slip of the tongue like that would not change the outcome of a verdict--the jury certainly knows the victim's name.
 
Tellis could use that mistake as an appeal issue. Bad representation. Too bad. JMO
