Forty potential jurors were screened on Monday, and 17 were picked. Of those, 10 were women and seven were men. Numerous people were excused based on their answers, especially those who revealed they were extremely familiar with the case.

During the screenings, potential jurors were asked about their recent news consumption and if they had any preconceived beliefs about Boswell and the case. Several also seemed confused by the concept of the burden of proof that is on the state in order for Boswell to be convicted.

2/5/25

When the court convened on Wednesday around 8:45 a.m., prosecutors began by stating they needed to dismiss Count 18 against Boswell, one of the many counts of false reports against her. Judge Jim Goodwin dismissed the charge.

The prosecution then asked that the defense not present any evidence on that count since it would be hearsay without Boswell’s testimony.

According to the presentment of charges against Boswell, Count 18 alleged that Boswell made a false report to Sullivan County detectives and a Tennessee Bureau of Investigation by claiming either she or another person rolled over onto Evelyn while sleeping, resulting in her death.

At trial, Boswell is facing 19 charges, including:

  • First-degree murder
  • 2 counts of felony murder
  • Aggravated child abuse
  • Aggravated child neglect
  • Tampering with evidence
  • 11 counts of false report
  • Abuse of a corpse
  • Failure to report a death under suspicious, unusual or unnatural circumstances
The presentment alleges that one of Boswell’s felony murder charges stems from her killing of Evelyn “in the perpetration of or attempt to perpetrate the felony crime Aggravated Child Abuse,” while the other was allegedly done in the perpetration or attempt of aggravated child neglect.

Gibbs moved to Knoxville in November 2019 with the father of her child. Boswell came to visit Gibbs in the hospital after the birth of her child around Dec. 9. She said it was the first time she saw Boswell without Evelyn.

Gibbs said Boswell had a "weird" look in her while she was trying to tell the story of how her new baby was born. Gibbs said Boswell kept telling her "I love you" over and over again.

10 total witnesses were called on Thursday, and the jury saw several new pieces of evidence. Those included videos of interviews with Boswell conducted by authorities, messages sent by Boswell to other people and drone footage of her father’s property where Evelyn Boswell’s remains were found.

Boswell said in the interview that she was afraid to call anyone and did not want to know what Wood had done with Evelyn. She told Fraley then that Wood had left when it was near dark and returned when it was dark.

She suggested to police that they go search her father Tommy Boswell’s property, but she said she did not know where Evelyn would be there. While being interviewed, she claimed that she had wrapped Evelyn’s body in a blanket because she “didn’t want her to be cold.”
