Update: Bobby Cutts Trial
When under cross examination the defense suggested that Weisburn saw Cutts as a suspect from the beginning.
They also suggested that 2 ½ old Blake Davis may have spilled the bleach found on the carpet in the master bedroom, as the boy was left free to roam the house for many hours. Weisburn testified yesterday that there were no bleach spots on Blake’s clothing when he examined him. The jury asked if Weisburn saw any burns on Blake and he said, “No.”
Myisha Ferrell, 30, took the stand to testify against her long time friend, Bobby Cutts Jr. She has known him since middle school and described how she ended up at the site where Jessie and her unborn baby were buried.
Farrell stated that she’d been out the night before, and, after arriving home, was playing cards, drinking and smoking marijuana, until close to 6:00 am on June 14th. She said that was when she stepped outside and saw Bobby Cutts truck parked in the alley next to her house. She described him as looking dysfunctional. She said she’d never seen him look that way before.
After getting into the truck with Cutts, she said that Cutts stated that there was something wrong, something “bad”. He further stated to her that something was wrong with his baby’s mama, meaning Jessie Davis. Next he told her Jessie was in the back of the truck.
They headed north, down the highway. Myisha finally asked Cutts what happened. She testified that he said he kind of used his arm, and then she raised her arm near her neck for a visual explanation.
They made a quick stop at a truck stop so she could use the restroom and buy cigarettes. They got back in the truck and started down the highway again, when Cutts saw a fellow officer, much to his chagrin, at a stop light. He waved and went on his way.
Their next stop was at an open field. Ferrell said when they got out of the truck she looked in the truck bed, and saw Jessie’s feet and a blanket wrapped around her body.
Cutts then took off with her body, and buried Jessie, while Ferrell stayed at the truck. She said she saw several white garbage bags in the back of the truck. Once Cutts returned they stopped by a dumpster to discard the garbage bags.
Their next stop was at a car wash where Cutts sprayed out the bed of the truck. When they left the car wash she recalled Cutts making phone calls, one to a coach and one to Jessie’s home. Ferrell testified that she threw Jessie’s pink cell phone out of the window as they traveled down the road. After that they stopped to pick up some mulch to put in the back of the truck.
Ferrell testified that Cutts gave her $100 to spend however she wished.
They went back to Cutts’ house, where he asked Ferrell if she could see the marks Jessie left on his chest. Ferrell told him the marks weren't significant. She also saw the wound on his finger. He told her it was from Jessie biting him.
Cutts then took Ferrell back to her home.
Ferrell then testified that she spoke to Cutts the following day when he phoned and said that he “thinks his baby’s mama is missing.” Ferrell stated that she thought he was “gone”, as in crazy.
Bobby Cutts’ cousin, Larry, went to Ferrell’s home and picked her up to go to Cutts’ house. She testified that they left together and were on their way to Cutts’ house when they turned around to go back to speak with the sheriff. She said the sheriff didn’t show up in the half hour time line that he gave, so she and Larry went back to Bobby’s house. It was at that time that Cutts versed her on what to say to the sheriff when she talked to him. She was to tell the sheriff that she had been babysitting Blake.
She continued her testimony saying that she and Larry went back to her house and she talked to the sheriff. She told him that she had been babysitting Blake, as Cutts had told her to do.
Ferrell stated that she turned herself into the police on June 24th, and continued to lie to them as she didn’t like the way they spoke to her.
Ferrell was then cross examined by the defense starting with her and Bobby’s long time friendship. She testified that she had never seen Cutts be violent with anyone or usurp his authority in any way.
Ferrell testified that she was shocked by the whole event but found herself in the middle of it.
She said she had never met or seen Jessie Davis before, and testified that she had never babysat Blake.
Myisha Ferrell’s testimony ended there.(NLH)
