Campsite media.
After the Erica Flores fiasco. It was undeniable. Even among people charged with heavy crimes. A difficult demographic to begin with. Quinata was a challenging client. She was a defendant in a murder trial, who, while out on bond, seems to have staged an elaborate ruse to coerce a nineteen-year-old single mother into giving police a false confession.
Mm-hmm.
It would be a lot for any attorney to deal with. The day after Erica's false confession, Quinetta's lawyer quit. He told me, I do the slicing and dicing. When the defendant starts to slice and dice, I gotta go. The court appointed Quinnetta new representation. Robbie McClung And Richard Franklin. They were professional partners. But when I met them, they had that look that married couples get after spending decades together, kind of matching. Though Richard is balding with gray hair and tortoiseshell glasses, and Robbie is blonde with bright lipstick, heels. They'd worked countless murders, manslaughters, aggravated assaults, aggravated robberies. And yet, as always. Quinnetta stood out.
Dealing with Quinetta was hard. It was a stretch for me. because there were so many different sides of her that she tried to play and it was just Very difficult because I never knew which Conetta was coming out that day. Who were the different Quinetas? There's the Quinetta that was the rape survivor There was the Quinetta that was the abused woman, there was the Quinetta that was trying to save her husband from being sent off to some foreign land where fighting was occurring. I mean, do you Pick the day. She's got a different story as to why her life is the way it is.
All the quinettas. It certainly felt to me like Robbie wasn't too fond of any of them. But she and Richard would nonetheless mount a zealous defense for their problematic client.
We were blaming this murder on her boyfriend, right? Well that's what I'm asking. I thought we were.
Yeah, they were. It had been a while.
She maintained that she was innocent. That he did it. And that he was the brains behind the whole thing and he was forcing her to do it and she had to do what he said. Okay. So That's what we were going with.
He as in DeAndre. Quinetta's boyfriend. He did it. This seemed to be the best approach, as far as Richard and Robbie could see, because there was tons of evidence that Quinetta had orchestrated a financial fraud to steal Michael Giles' money, and that Quineta had set up Erica Flores. But when it came to proving that Quinnetta had actually pulled the trigger. That was where things got murky. And if the trial came down to why Gwenetta might have pulled the trigger? They were going to get murkier still. From Sony Music Entertainment and Campside Media, this is What She Buried. I'm Justine Vanderloon. Episode five All the quinetas.
There's no direct evidence she had done the crime. Nobody saw her do it. She didn't admit to do it. She actually said she never did it.
Josh Healy was the lead prosecutor in Quinnetta's case. Remember how Erica Flores was convinced to take part in a sting operation that would expose a racist DA with a scar on his head?
