WHO KILLED JESSICA LANE CHAMBERS?

[HairOfTheDog]

I just saw it was a mistrial! Ugh. I would think the judge would make them go back longer and try to come to an agreement! I mean the jury has all the evidence they should go through it. I haven't watched what went on today. But I am surprised Judge didn't tell them to go back. perhaps maybe because he thought they would end up voting not guilty?

The prosecution should have spent more time preparing a better argument for why she would have said Eric.

The DOJ guy makes a great point at the end of the trial hairofdog. Not sure if you watched this part it's at the very end of Day five part two of trial at around
4 hours and 29 seconds into video

Thanks d505! I hadn't seen the video.

I thought DOJ dude Rowlette did a good job using the cell phone evidence (the pings + the communications between Tellis and Jessica) to build a case beyond reasonable doubt against Tellis. What he presented showed that Tellis lied and lied and lied to investigators and that Tellis was with/near Jessica up until within minutes of the car fire being called in.

Here are some of the charts he presented for anyone who wants a quick overview: http://wreg.com/2017/10/14/jessica-chamb...ive-day-5/

The judge actually did send the jury back for further deliberation once. The jury was confused initially and told the judge that they had found Tellis 'not guilty' because they could not agree. The judge explained that did not equate to a 'not guilty' verdict and polled the jury. Some of them said they considered Tellis guilty. The judge sent them back to deliberate, but they still couldn't reach a unanimous decision.
