Prosecutor John Champion told jurors that Tellis mistakenly believed he had suffocated Chambers before lighting her on fire along a rural Mississippi road in Courtland, where she lived with her family.
Depending on where the prosecutor got that information that sounds pretty damning.
The Ontario government will be dealing marijuana, starting next June. (It will be sold through the government owned monopoly Liquor stores.)
I had. She was in with the drug dealers, dated a few of them, and then apparently tried to get out.
>>Palmer and defense attorney Alton Peterson suggested that authorities turned their focus on Tellis because they needed a suspect after months of dead-end leads. Quoting Warren Buffet in his closing argument, Peterson said, “If the police follow you for 100 miles, at some point they’ll have something to pull you over for.”
Didn’t Tellis lie about not seeing her the day of her murder and then admitting that they ate together and did other activities that day?
She may well have been, but the other thing it didn’t mention - and I’m sure the jurors weren’t told - is that this guy is also on trial in another state (Texas?) for the gruesome murder of another woman that he barely knew or perhaps didn’t know at all.
He is sort of a drifter who may be a serial killer and seems to enjoy causing pain. It’s possible that he had connections with drug gangs in her area, but equally possible that he just lured her out there. SHe was apparently very trusting and he was supposedly one of those charming psychopaths that attracts women.
She had bought extra gasoline, probably at his request because he told her he needed it for his vehicle, although she doesnt seem to have known him well if at all and probably just met him by accident.

North Mississippi is becoming a real shithole, not that the east central is doing much better. A story about a man beaten by 3 blacks in West Point, Ms. made news a week or so ago, as the three young black perpetrators were convicted with sentences ranging from 7 months to 3 years time after good behavior in jail was figured in. The white man beaten was a vet, and had life changing injuries. Happened in a waffle house. In the three men’s defense it was mentioned that the victim and his cousin had verbally said racists remarks before a argument turned into the beating.And let’s hope the killer of Jessica Chambers gets tougher punishment than Mississippi “courts” showed when he is tried for the murder of the Asian woman he is also charged with murder in.
Such a horrible way to die. I had read that drugs and gang activity were involved. If memory serves Chamber had been involved with some very bad people but had broken away and was starting a new life.
