The closing arguments are going on now. The defense rested without calling any witnesses, Tellis in particular. His original supposed alibi witnesses couldn't support him.

In closing argument, a defense attorney referred to Jessica Chambers as "Erica Chambers" THREE times.
You wish Knoxville Horror prosecutors Takeesha Fitzgerald and Leland Price were on this case. Or former LA prosecutors Walt Lewis or Paul Turley.
Another time, they said "circumstantial evidence = acquittal."
A top-flight prosecutor would have a field day in the rebuttal.

I think the prosecutor did well in his rebuttal. He started by pointing out "Her name was Jessica Chambers, not Erica Chambers." The defense attorney called her "Erica Chambers" in his closing.
He pointed out Tellis was proven by cell phone and texting to be with Chambers up to four minutes of when she would have been murdered.

The jury in the Jessica Chambers murder trial has finished for the night. They will resume deliberations at 9 am CT tomorrow (Monday) morning.
