Therese Apel, a reporter for the Clarion Ledger, has done some fantastic reporting on the murder case of Jessica Lynn Chambers.   Therese has a video update –HERE– Jessica’s death was a shocking and horrific murder that impacted many CTH readers including myself.
Today the man accused of burning Jessica to death, Quinton “Go Hard” Tellis, appeared in a Mississippi courtroom to face the charges.

Therese Apel – Quinton Tellis, 27, entered a not guilty plea in the 2014 burning death of a Mississippi teen that gained national attention.
Tellis is charged with capital murder, accused of setting Jessica Chambers, 19, on fire on a rural road in Courtland. She was found with burns over 98 percent of her body, officials said.
On Friday, Tellis entered the Desoto County courtroom in his orange jumpsuit with his attorneys Darla Palmer and Alton Peterson. He nodded to his family, who were seated on the front row on the left side of the court, across from Chambers’ family. When he entered, Jessica’s stepmother Debbie Chambers put her arm around her father, Ben Chambers, but Chambers’ family was otherwise stoic.
He entered his plea through Palmer and was escorted back out of the courtroom.
Authorities said they expected Tellis to plead not guilty, as he has not so far admitted to killing Chambers.
Tellis’ trial is tentatively set for September, but District Attorney John Champion said it’s not a hard and fast date.  (read more)
