A star witness for the state, Johnathan Quiles’s brother Joseph Quiles, took the stand late Wednesday afternoon. Joseph Quiles detailed conversations he had with his brother in which he said he described how he murdered his niece and disposed of her body.
– After five days of prosecution testimony, the defense will begin calling witnesses Thursday in the murder trial of a Jacksonville man accused of raping, impregnating and killing his niece in 2018.
Sawyer was last seen on Dec. 19, 2018, and Joseph Quiles said that his brother contacted him four times the next day. “He said he took the young lady and had her sitting in a vehicle, waiting. He tried to strangle her. It didn’t work out. He couldn’t stomach it. So he shot her in the chest and he put the body... in a dumpster the vehicle,” Joseph testified.
Joseph said when Johnathan first told him what happened, he wasn’t sure if Johnathan was telling the truth, but he called the police in January when he learned Sawyer was missing. Prosecutors played a nearly two-hour recording of their conversation in court and provided the jury with transcripts. In the recording, the three can be heard talking about the landfill where trucks from Quiles’ work would dump their containers, about Quiles’ brother calling the police and about the sexual relationship Quiles had with Sawyer.
