Mississippi's Most Controversial Murder Trial: The Jessica Chambers Case

Mississippi's Most Controversial Murder Trial: The Jessica Chambers CaseOn December 6, 2014, Jessica Chambers, a 19-year-old from Courtland, Mississippi, was found burned over 93% of her body in a murder investigation that would grip the nation. The homicide case against suspect Quinton Tellis resulted in two hung juries, as forensic evidence, cell phone data, and witness testimony collided with the victim's dying words. First responders heard Jessica name her attacker before she died, but the name she spoke wasn't Quinton.This case has everything that makes true crime both fascinating and frustrating. You've got a victim who fought like hell to survive long enough to tell someone what happened. You've got prosecutors building a circumstantial case that looks pretty damning on paper. And then you've got that one detail that changes everything. Jessica walked toward help, burned beyond recognition, and tried to tell firefighters who did this to her. The problem? The name she said doesn't match the guy they put on trial. Twice. This is about what happens when the evidence points one direction and a dying declaration points another. It's about small-town Mississippi, cell phone towers that can't quite pinpoint a location, and a suspect connected to another brutal murder in Louisiana. And after two mistrials, nobody knows what happens next.#JessicaChambers #TrueCrime #UnsolvedMurder #QuintonTellis #MississippiMurder #DyingDeclaration #HungJuryBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/10-minute-murder-bingeable-true-crime-stories--4603604/support.
