Bravo, You mean like "Police Harrassment"? Darla Palmer was running scared this time with her aces in the hole last trial now reduced to deuces and treys. So she did what any coniving defense attorney would do, try someone else beside her client. And that someone else was the PCSO. She placed...

YESorNO, Death by 1,000 Cuts -- probably made famous by a scene from the 1966 Steve McQueen film, "The Sand Pebbles," depicting 1920's China. Regards, Clouseau

imstilla.grandma, As I sit here today, sounds like Judicial Harassment, on my mama! (only kidding, Judge...) Clou

Can't see this going on much longer. Once somebody has dug in their heels, probably no way to budge them. I do hope one thing: that the prosecution requests the Judge to poll the jury, to be certain they are deadlocked. We would then be able to see how much closer they got to snagging the Golden...

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...

I am cautiously optimistic this time. Already this jury has deliberated longer than it took the last one to unanimously decide it was not unanimous, on the third try (on my mama, as I sit here today.) It tells me they will be making yet another run through the very lengthy and detailed evidence...

Time for another sleep-inducing Clouseau treatise. I remember how my old roommate in college used to tell me, “You are soooo-porific.” I used to think he was expressing admiration until one day I looked it up (soporific: inducing drowsiness or sleep.) Nevertheless.... I think it was masterful...

UndiscoveredTruth, Good memory, my fellow Armchair Detective (as per Maj. Thompson). Peterson did indeed slip up during his half of the defense's closing arguments during the first trial. He referred to Jessica Chambers in a photo as "Erica" -- Freudian slip perhaps? Best, Inspector Jacques...

I think Tellis thought Jessica was already dead when he set her and the car on fire. Here's why: The prosecution estimated it would take about 4 minutes to travel by car from the shed (where the gas can was stored) to the scene of the fire. To travel to that shed -from- the crime scene would...

BUF, I believe I'm correct in stating those clothes, found in a small ditch ("ravine") at the crime scene not far behind the rear of the car, were at least partially burned. I believe several pieces of that burned clothing, including a fragment of a bra that later was found to have gasoline...

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...

UndiscoveredTruth, I realize you are only the messenger here, so my comments are not directed at you per se. I'm not about to guess whether or not the jury understands what he meant. I can tell you I did. Recall he had a chart showing different colored dots representing estimates of the cell...

UndiscoveredTruth, I can answer that. Jessica's cell phone carrier was Verizon, Tellis had AT&T. Different carriers have different policies on text messages. Verizon preserves copies for some period of time, but AT&T does not. So once an AT&T-generated message is deleted from both the sender...

calo44, In reviewing my notes from the first trial, the defense definitely brought this specific person up in their closing argument, in order to cast doubt on the prosecution's case against Tellis. The defense reviewed how the tag of the vehicle of the "strange man" on the scene had been...

TTF14, I just looked through my notes from the first trial. No, he did not testify then. Big Mike is a new witness this trial, although he was certainly mentioned several times during the first trial. The prosecution is apparently making sure all its "t's" are crossed and all its "i's" are...

YESorNO, Thank you for that. So, if I do the math correctly and subtract the alternates from the totals, I wind up with the following 12 jurors: 5 African-American women 4 African-American men 2 White men (3 - 1 = 2) 1 White women (3 - 2 = 1) 9 African-American (75%) 3 White (25%) Does not...

"As you sit here today, etc. etc...." over and over by the defense, as if to imply, this was a long time ago, are you sure of your recollections? "As you sit here today" -- must've been said 50 times already. If I were the prosecution, I'd say, "Objection, your honor. I believe it is apparent...

One more significant difference this time from the first trial. The prosecution is playing selected parts of the Tellis interviews in Nov 2015 and Jan 2016 while ATF Agent Scott Meadows is on the witness stand. Last time it was during MBI Special Agent Tim Douglas' testimony. Now I'm sure Tim...

"You're trying to get me to say I was somewhere I wasn't..." No, Quenton Verdell Tellis, they're trying to get you to admit you were where an unbiased phone company says you were. Clouseau

I have been unable to find out the composition of the 12 actual jurors. All I can find are quotes like the following, reporting the “mixture” of jurors and alternates: “Ultimately 12 jurors were selected along with three alternates. The racial and gender makeup of the jurors is five black...
