Sherry Flowers testified today that on Dec, 6, 2014, the night that Jessica Chambers was fatally burned, she picked up a man near the location where Chambers' keys were found.
She agrees with a prosecutor that she didn't know who she picked up, but prosecutors seek to connect the ride to Chambers' death.
Flowers said she gave the man, who she never identified in court as being Tellis, a ride to the area of Tellis' sister's house.
They are suggesting it was the right time for Tellis to travel away from Chambers' burning car.
Of course the defense disputes the timing.
A possible attempt to intimidate Flowers led to a pursuit by local law enforcement as the trial was still in progress.
It was confirmed that local authorities made a "traffic stop" involving an individual who may have been watching witness her as she left the Panola County Courthouse following her testimony.
A number of officers, already in the courthouse for the trial, left quickly in pursuit of someone on a motorcycle just after Flowers had completed her testimony and left.
Flowers did not testify in Tellis' first trial last October.
Court officers also removed at least one person from the courtroom Wednesday.
Last October's first trial, ended in a mistrial.
