“If we had one person saying she said ‘Quinton set me on fire,’ we wouldn’t be having a trial,” defence attorney Alton Peterson told The Associated Press. A speech pathologist may be called in the second trial to emphasize that point. Prosecutors point to cellphone records that show Chambers and Tellis were together twice on the day she was burned. The prosecution’s theory is likely to be much the same in the second trial. Peterson said she’s expected to testify that she gave a man a ride the night of Chambers’ death.
