Issues w. State of Mississippi's Case -As some of you have already noted, there are some problems w. the State's case. First and foremost, there are a total of 9 witnesses who heard JC state "Eric" did this to her. Not Quinton Tellis. During Kesha Myers' cross from the first day, she stated she had never heard JC call QT "Eric" and she also stated JC was selling marijuana. -Investigator Dixon isn't great w. handling evidence. He threw out cigarette lighters found at the burn scene because they were rusted, which he believed meant they were old and unrelated. In reality, it is impossible for him to know if the rust was natural, or from the heat of the car fire. Regardless of the origin of the rust, a DNA profile should have been attempted. It wasn't. He also found evidence at the scene (beer cans) which led to the appearance that it may be a "party spot". Because JC was dealing marijuana, they should have investigated if she sold marijuana to people in this area or its vicinity -JC's keys: These were handled by JK, his one year old child, and his baby momma, wrapped in paper towel, and then handled by the investigator. The investigator then took the keys to the area where JK believed he found them, put them on the ground in the ditch, and took photos. It is unclear why he decided to risk DNA contamination/loss of DNA evidence just to photograph them in an area they may have been found -And lastly, the connection to the Louisiana murder...
