SAVANNAH, Ga. — Opening statements started Monday in the trial of a Georgia woman accused of killing her 20-month-old son and dumping his body in a trash bin two years ago.
Police and FBI agents focused their investigation on a landfill two weeks after the boy was reported missing. They sifted through trash for more than a month before finding human bones, which DNA tests confirmed belonged to Quinton. Videos of Simon's interviews with police and body camera footage was also shown to jurors. Dean said Simon changed her story about her whereabouts several times. Nearly a week after the interviews, Simon changed her story again to say she might have blacked out and doesn’t remember what really happened.
In contrast, the defense took just three minutes for their opening statement, which accused the state of basing its case on rumor and speculation, not hard evidence.
