Seriously how can this happen again? Being that badly burned, "Tellis" can sound alot like "Eric." Just my opinion.

I love the armchair experts on the OT.

I don't know all of the evidence presented but everything that I have heard is circumstantial. You cannot convict someone on circumstantial evidence. I'm sure some jurists have their hearts set on him being guilty but it doesn't change the fact that the solid evidence is missing.

Entirely incorrect.

Seems like this dude just so happens to end up in circumstances where women die horrible deaths.

Edit to add: The girl in Monroe was tortured for her debit card PIN number, cut/stabbed over 30 times.

You definitely can. A preponderance of circumstantial evidence can certainly be enough from a legal standpoint to convict someone. I was on a jury for a "serial killer" and we convicted him solely on circumstantial evidence and was instructed we could do so by judge Marabella. DNA evidence is almost always circumstantial evidence and that's used to get convictions all the time.

like people getting convicted for murder when no body was found. it's not an easy case to prove, but absolutely does happen.

Eh...
Juries have convicted people with virtually no evidence, cirumstantial or otherwise.

Ive watched the show about this case and first trial and ive deduced those speech experts are hired guns or just flat wrong.
There were multiple rescue workers on scene that described the "Eric" or "Derrick" statement and also that she verbally told them who she was. Why would all those people lie? Many have ptsd from that scene. The experts may have testified to it but they were wrong or those rescue workers are part of a huge conspiracy. I side with the rescue workers.

In Louisiana you most certainly can, b/c we're stupid:

Across the United States, federal courts and 48 states require juries to be unanimous in felony verdicts. Louisiana is the only state to allow nonunanimous verdicts in murder trials. Only one other state, Oregon, allows split-jury verdicts in felony cases.
La Times article about our non-unanimous jury shitshow

If someone's dying declaration was that Eric did this, and the Defendant's name is Quinton, that's reasonable doubt. This guy has gone through two trials and the state has yet to convict. There is no reason to try him again. Send him to Louisiana and see if they can convict him.

What an upstanding citizen.

It absolutely sucks but the Eric/Derrick thing has screwed the case.
I think he did it based on everything I have read but he cannot be convicted based on it either due to her saying Eric and them hearing Eric.

At least he's unlikely to see the light of day again if the Ouachita DA doesn't frick up.
