Hello everyone and welcome to
1:08
episode 373 of the True
1:10
Crime All the Time podcast. I'm Mike Ferguson and
1:12
with me as always is my partner in true
1:14
crime, Mike Gibson. Give me how are you? Hey,
1:16
I'm doing okay. How about you? I'm doing
1:18
pretty good. Good. You and
1:21
I just talked about on our weekly kind of Patreon
1:23
update. I'm battling a little vertigo
1:26
situation, which is strange. I've never
1:28
had before. So I got to get
1:30
in to see my doctor to see what's going on with that. And
1:33
then my dentist just told me I had to have
1:35
a root canal. So you're falling apart, man. What
1:37
is going on? Oh man, I
1:40
tell you, get
1:42
yourself, you know, on a
1:44
good nutritional diet, eat more leafy
1:47
greens. You think that's the
1:49
cause of those two things? Well, I don't know. No, I'm
1:51
just throwing it out there because you know, why not? Let's
1:55
go ahead and give our Patreon shout
1:57
outs. We have logista Branham. Jackalynn
2:01

2:07
Personally victimized by Regina George.
2:10
Oh man, there it is.
2:13
Mean Girls. That's right. And I
2:15
did not know that. I asked you
2:17
about it on Patreon and surprisingly you
2:19
did know. I was shocked. Mr.
2:21
Movie Guy. Ron Kinman. Hey Ron. Matt
2:24
O. What's going on? Amanda
2:26

go back into the vault. This
2:55
week we selected Cheryl Ann Reek. Oh,
2:57
you're awesome. Thanks Cheryl. Yeah, we appreciate
2:59
all the support we get. We
3:01
have an episode out right now on
3:03
Unsolved where we're talking about Robert Houghlin.
3:06
This is a, you know, kind of
3:08
a family man, pretty normal guy
3:11
in Connecticut who all of
3:13
a sudden kind of vanishes into
3:15
thin air. And then
3:17
he's found like nine years
3:19
later. It's bizarre. Yeah, it's bizarre.
3:21
I don't want to give anything away, but
3:24
this is kind of one of those
3:26
that people like to debate online and
3:28
they have their own theory. So
3:31
definitely check that one out. Come on over and give
3:33
it a listen. All right, buddy. Are
3:36
you ready to get into this episode of true crime
3:38
all the time? And I am ready. We are talking
3:40
about Gregory Harris. Gregory
3:43
Harris was married to a
3:45
woman named Chiquita Tate, who
3:48
was a young, successful defense
3:50
attorney who was murdered
3:52
in her office in downtown Baton
3:54
Rouge, Louisiana. And she was preparing
3:56
for this big murder trial. made
4:00
attempts to throw the police off but
4:03
the evidence pointed to her husband, Gregory
4:05
Harris. You're a bend to Baton Rouge?
4:08
I don't believe I have. No. I think
4:10
I've only been to. New Orleans?
4:13
Yeah, New Orleans. Yeah. I
4:15
don't think I've been to Baton Rouge. Well, we need
4:18
to go to Baton Rouge then. Before? I
4:20
don't know. Why not? Okay. Then
4:23
you could basically say that about any place
4:26
in the US or the world. Isn't
4:28
Baton Rouge like in the bottom
4:31
of the boot of Louisiana? Isn't
4:33
it like a little hill boot?
4:35
The bottom of the boot. Is it the state
4:38
shaped like a little boot? I
4:40
don't know. New Orleans is at the
4:42
very bottom, right? Well, maybe this
4:44
is at the heel of the boot. Okay. Now we've
4:46
got the heel. Maybe
4:49
overall. I'm going to get a map. People are going
4:51
to get a map out and be like, what
4:54
is Gibby talking about? Or Gibby nailed it.
4:56
One or the other. I know
4:58
Italy looks like a boot. What's the
5:00
big boot? I don't know if
5:03
Louisiana looks like a boot or not. I don't know.
5:05
Like this, like a little one. In my mind, it
5:07
doesn't, but I definitely could be wrong. And
5:10
so could I. Yeah.
5:12
Yeah. That's a real possibility.
5:15
Chiquita Tate was born on October 15th, 1975. She
5:19
was one of seven siblings. It's
5:21
a pretty big family. Yeah. She
5:24
was raised by her grandmother in
5:26
an impoverished area of Baton Rouge,
5:28
Louisiana, according to oxygen. You
5:31
ever met people that come from a big family? I'm
5:33
sure I have. Sometimes they seem competitive
5:37
in nature because they have to be competitive
5:39
at home. I mean, like at
5:41
the dinner table to make sure
5:44
everybody gets fed or just because
5:46
you have so many siblings, naturally
5:49
there's going to be competition, competition
5:51
for your parents' affection.
5:53
Yeah. I could see that.
5:55
I think sometimes that spills over into outside
5:58
of the house. It could. It definitely
6:00
could now what I find interesting is that
6:03
you know I'm an only child
6:05
and I'm about as competitive a
6:08
person as you'll ever find You
6:10
are pretty competitive. So I don't know, you know,
6:12
like where that comes from. I hate to lose
6:16
You know, I'll fight tooth and nail in A
6:19
game of fish. I don't care. I do not
6:21
like to lose So maybe as you were growing
6:23
up you were used to getting whatever you wanted
6:26
and then when you got outside of that You're
6:29
like, hey, that should be mine. What
6:31
do you do in touching that? I'm
6:33
gonna win this thing because I that should be mine. I'm
6:35
used to getting what I want You may
6:37
have hit on something there as a
6:40
child Chiquita was strong will and
6:42
analyzed everything she was often told
6:44
she would make a good lawyer
6:47
She was an intelligent and driven student and
6:49
was the first person in her family to
6:51
go to college So I
6:53
this is something that I've said about
6:55
my youngest for a long time You
6:58
know very strong will likes to
7:00
analyze things is very good at
7:03
arguing Yes, she is sometimes
7:05
best me in an
7:07
argument. She said not to me a few times. Yeah,
7:09
and I always
7:11
said I think you'd make a good attorney.
7:14
She doesn't want to be an attorney She wants to be
7:16
a nurse, but she does ask good
7:19
questions. She does She does
7:21
she even did some of that mock trial stuff and
7:23
was amazing Yeah, I went to go watch it after
7:26
graduating college Chiquita worked briefly
7:28
as a legislative secretary and
7:31
Recorded minutes at Atlanta City
7:33
Council meetings She eventually
7:36
decided she wanted to move back
7:38
to Louisiana to attend law school
7:41
good call because I think recording minutes at Council
7:45
meetings and things like that would not
7:48
be that exciting It's an important job for
7:50
somebody to do but I think I would be
7:52
bored Yeah, so she was living
7:54
in Atlanta there for a while moved
7:57
back to Louisiana. She studied at
8:00
Northern University Law Center and
8:02
worked as a clerk at a law firm
8:04
while studying for the bar exam.
8:07
So no doubt Chiquita
8:09
was very much a go-getter. That's
8:11
the sense I'm getting. Driven. Very
8:13
driven. Chiquita's mentor
8:15
and former boss, Judge
8:17
Pam Taylor-Johnson told CNN
8:20
that Chiquita believed in
8:22
justice for everyone and
8:24
wanted to represent vulnerable
8:27
people. And if
8:29
that is true, which I have no reason to
8:31
think it's not true, it's very
8:33
honorable. You
8:36
and I do a lot of cases and we
8:38
talk about a lot of trials. And
8:40
the one thing that I worry
8:43
gets lost in
8:45
many trials is the
8:48
actual notion of
8:50
justice. I think most
8:52
times it's, you know, obviously the
8:54
prosecution wants to win, the defense
8:56
wants to win. Too
8:58
many times I've seen
9:00
charges brought that don't
9:02
seem warranted, the evidence doesn't seem
9:04
to really be there. Well,
9:07
is that justice? Are
9:10
we really seeking justice or
9:12
are we trying to get
9:15
a conviction because the public's up
9:17
in arms? Right. And I
9:19
worry about that sometimes. Yeah, so it's a good thing to
9:21
be worried about. I worry about those things
9:23
too. Yeah, because to me, what
9:26
is at the heart of it or
9:28
what's most important is to get it
9:30
right. And I think the other thing
9:32
in this statement
9:34
is that, you know, she
9:37
wanted to represent vulnerable
9:39
people and get
9:41
justice for people that maybe had
9:44
a harder time of
9:46
getting true justice because unfortunately
9:48
we know that occurs.
9:51
You know, if you're rich, you
9:53
had a better chance. Very true. And
9:56
it shouldn't be like that, right? It
9:58
should be equal for everyone. Unfortunately, the
10:00
way our system works, it's not. Chiquita's
10:03
legal assistant, Lessie Hoofkin told
10:05
Dateline, she was just driven.
10:08
Wanting to get that next, I'll
10:10
call it that next high in
10:13
law school was that. Being a lawyer was
10:15
that, and she achieved it. And I
10:17
think there's really something to that. You
10:19
know, people talk about a runner's high,
10:22
but there are highs that
10:24
people get when accomplishing,
10:27
you know, big time thing,
10:29
not talking about drugs here, but you
10:32
know what I'm saying when you're driving for something
10:34
and you work really hard for it and
10:37
you finally get it, there's a
10:39
euphoria there. Yeah. You finally pass your
10:41
bar exam, you're an attorney, you're excited.
10:44
And then just the regular
10:46
activity of being an attorney when you win
10:48
your case. Well, that's what I was going
10:50
to say. Once you hit that high, well,
10:52
then what's the next thing? Yeah. After
10:55
passing the bar exam on her first
10:57
try, Chiquita decided she wanted to be
10:59
a criminal defense attorney. Many
11:02
of her clients were accused murderers,
11:04
drug dealers, and gang members. She
11:06
was dedicated to her clients and was
11:08
quickly making a name for herself in
11:10
the Baton Rouge legal
11:13
community. And that's the thing. If
11:15
you're going to be a criminal defense attorney,
11:18
your clients are not all going to be
11:20
sayings. Nope. Many of them are going
11:22
to be guilty. Many of them are
11:24
going to have pretty long rap
11:27
sheets and have done some horrible
11:29
things. But if you can establish
11:31
that name, you know, that go to
11:33
person, if you're in trouble, this
11:36
is who you want to call. I mean, in
11:39
most cities, there's that person that you call. Yeah.
11:41
Or a very small handful
11:44
of people who are so well
11:47
respected because it
11:49
is important. The way that
11:51
our system works, that everybody,
11:53
you know, gets good representation.
11:56
Now may work out that the person
11:58
is guilty, but it doesn't. didn't mean
12:00
that they shouldn't get a fair
12:02
trial and all that stuff. During
12:05
her short career as a lawyer, Chiquita
12:07
won a $500,000 jury verdict and
12:11
opened her own law firm. Cases
12:13
like that certainly help out, don't they? Well, if
12:15
you're taking what, 30%, 40%, I don't know what
12:18
the standard kind of rate
12:25
is, she may have been
12:27
working on a contingency where she got nothing if
12:29
they didn't win, but if you do win, you
12:31
get 30%, 40%. Bigger
12:33
piece of the pie. You can make
12:36
some real money in a hurry. Chiquita
12:38
was known for her drive and intensity
12:40
in and out of the courtroom. Some
12:43
people described her as having a
12:45
temper. And a lot of times those
12:47
things go hand in hand. Yeah, I
12:49
don't know if having a temper is a
12:51
bad thing. Sometimes I think it can be
12:54
beneficial. It depends on how you wield it.
12:57
Um, I, I, I know you would
12:59
agree that sometimes I have a
13:01
temper. Yes, you do.
13:03
And sometimes you're at the other end,
13:05
the receiving end of it. I
13:08
want things to go a certain
13:10
way and that's part of,
13:12
you know, the drive and the
13:14
intensity, and when they don't go
13:16
that way, whoever I'm working
13:18
with can get the brunt
13:21
end, I guess. So, you
13:23
know, even at my old job or
13:25
even if it's just podcasting, I
13:28
sometimes have to control
13:30
my temper, but it comes out. It
13:33
does more than it should
13:35
know more than you would like it
13:37
to. For example, Chiquita
13:39
hired her sister, Danita to work
13:41
in her law office. The need
13:43
to told Dateline that her sister
13:45
fired her every week, but
13:48
would then call her at night and say,
13:50
Hey, see you in the morning. You
13:52
ever know somebody like that who had
13:55
a temper where they
13:57
kind of boiled over on a regular basis.
14:00
regular basis, but they were very
14:02
quick to kind of try
14:04
to make it better. Oh yeah. Or
14:06
they wanted things to go back
14:08
to normal very quickly. No
14:10
few people like that. Now my wife is the other way
14:13
around. She holds it
14:15
all inside until it
14:17
erupts in a Mount
14:20
Vesuvius type catastrophe.
14:22
Right. Not good. And
14:24
I don't know which one's better, worse. I mean,
14:27
they all have their upsides and
14:29
downsides. I definitely keep my stuff
14:31
in. You do. It's
14:33
very rarely do I ever blow up at
14:35
all. No. Um, I
14:38
would say you're almost emotional. I've
14:41
been described as that by sometimes by
14:45
some people, some people, not to
14:47
name names, but now I do think
14:49
that would be tough when you're working with, you know,
14:52
a sibling and they're on
14:54
you so much that you're fired every week.
14:57
And then you have to have that call the
14:59
makeup call and say, Hey, everything's great, I'll see
15:01
you in the morning. In late 2007, Chiquita
15:05
met a contractor named Greg
15:07
Davis. Both of them were
15:09
driving through Baton Rouge that day. Greg
15:12
cut Chiquita off and she haunted
15:14
him. They stopped at a red
15:16
light and smiled at each other. It
15:18
turned out to be a whirlwind Roman
15:21
and Chiquita soon moved in with gray.
15:23
So I don't know how many
15:26
relationships or, you know,
15:28
romances have started with a
15:31
road rage incident. I'm
15:33
going to think not that many. No, I
15:36
don't think so because you know,
15:38
if you cut me off and I honk
15:40
at you, which would probably be the least
15:43
amount of anger that I would show,
15:45
you're probably going to get the bird
15:47
and maybe some choice words. I
15:50
can't imagine myself being single, rolling up
15:52
to the light and then looking over
15:54
after I done all that and being
15:56
like, Oh, Hey, Hey,
15:58
what's happening? Let's go out. There's
16:00
a, uh, series on Netflix called,
16:03
uh, beef. It's really
16:05
good. Yeah. Is that the one with
16:07
the guy from the walking dead? Yeah.
16:10
Yeah. And it, uh, starts off
16:13
basically her cutting
16:15
him off and, you know, it kind
16:17
of goes from, from there. Okay. Yeah. Don't ruin it
16:19
for me, but I had been wanting to watch that.
16:21
We, I just haven't watched it yet. Jaquita
16:23
told her boss, judge Pam Taylor
16:26
Johnson, I met the most wonderful
16:28
guy. I need you to perform
16:30
our marriage tomorrow. Wow.
16:32
That's really quick. Well, you know,
16:34
when you use the term whirlwind,
16:36
that can mean a bunch of
16:38
different things, but this is
16:40
really whirlwind. You know, you're
16:42
moving in, you're getting married. It sounded like
16:45
everything happened pretty quickly. Johnson
16:47
told her she would have to
16:49
wait at least three days as
16:51
required by law. Serious
16:53
problems quickly surfaced though. And
16:55
Chiquita and Greg's relationship on
16:58
December 22nd, 2007, Chiquita called 911
17:02
from the home that she shared with Greg, she
17:05
was crying and asked the dispatcher for
17:07
help. She reported that her
17:09
fiance beat her, choked her, and
17:12
she thought her arm was broken. Intense.
17:15
Yeah. That sounds like a
17:17
very serious altercation.
17:20
And if true, I would say, you know, a
17:23
very serious incident of abuse on the
17:25
part of Greg. Oxygen
17:28
reported that Chiquita said he
17:31
grabbed my finger and then I took
17:33
the ring. I threw it at him and
17:35
then he, and then he choked me
17:37
and I couldn't move. Both Chiquita
17:40
and Greg were arrested after this
17:42
incident, but her charges were dropped.
17:45
You know, I know people have some really
17:48
bad verbal arguments. Yes.
17:50
That sometimes can escalate
17:53
when there's some physical violence that
17:55
occurs. Wrong
17:57
all the way around, but I just think there's...
18:00
Some people just can't control it. It
18:02
just happens. Well, and I
18:05
would call that a problem. Yeah. You
18:07
and I have been and are both in
18:09
relationships and I'm sure a lot of
18:12
the people listening fall into that
18:14
same category when you're in
18:17
a pretty long-term relationship, there are going
18:19
to be disagreements, you
18:21
know, not everything is peaches
18:24
and cream, you know, chocolate
18:26
strawberries all the time. It just can't
18:29
be. Now do
18:31
some of the
18:33
verbal altercations escalate, you
18:36
know, to be yelling, screaming,
18:38
I'm sure it does for people. Yeah. But
18:41
to put your hands on
18:44
someone you supposedly love,
18:46
whether it's pushing and
18:49
then even escalating into hitting or
18:52
choking, right? That's
18:55
just unacceptable. People are going to argue.
18:57
Yeah. You're going to have those arguments. You might
18:59
even get a little something thrown at
19:02
you. You know, you sound like
19:04
you're speaking from experience, but yeah,
19:07
again, when it rises to the
19:09
level of you putting your hands on
19:12
the other person, and this goes both ways for
19:14
me. Women shouldn't be hitting men.
19:17
Women shouldn't be choking men. And
19:19
men shouldn't be hurting men. When you throw
19:21
that nerf stuff at me all the time,
19:23
I know it's nerf. So
19:26
it shouldn't hurt. But you don't have
19:28
to choke me. That's, that's unacceptable. Well, you
19:30
know, when you throw the nerf stuff
19:33
at me, but it's not the nerf, it's
19:35
the, the piece that
19:37
shoots the nerf stuff. That's the plastic. Oh,
19:39
when I throw that, yeah, it kind of
19:41
hurts. Sorry about that. Yeah. But you
19:44
actually make a very valid point. Two
19:46
men in a relationship or
19:48
two women for that matter.
19:51
Basically anyone in a relationship shouldn't be putting
19:53
their hands on the other person. Exactly. And
19:56
I don't know how normal this is.
19:58
Maybe it is normal. Cause I've never
20:01
been in this situation, but I did
20:03
think it was interesting that both were
20:05
arrested. Maybe it was just
20:07
that in the moment they couldn't figure
20:09
out who was the aggressor, who was,
20:11
you know, the person
20:14
who, you know, received the
20:16
abuse. I think in some counties they
20:19
all both people in regardless. Just
20:22
by law or formality or whatever.
20:25
Greg and Chiquita applied for their
20:27
marriage license on January 10th, 2008,
20:31
which was just two and a half
20:33
weeks after the domestic
20:35
violence report. They got married
20:37
on February 8th of that year. Seems
20:40
kind of, I want to say, it's kind of
20:42
quick. Well, it does. Obviously
20:44
it sounds like
20:46
these two people were in love,
20:48
but you throw this domestic violence
20:51
incident in the middle of it,
20:53
and it's pretty hard to discount
20:55
it or to not bring it
20:58
up. Yeah. I mean, clearly
21:00
they worked through whatever the issue was.
21:02
Well, you're assuming you would have
21:04
to assume that Greg pleaded not guilty
21:07
on March 6th, 2008. He
21:09
didn't show up for a pretrial conference
21:12
on May 8th and a warrant was issued
21:14
for his arrest. Now I find that
21:16
strange. I always do. I
21:19
think we talked about something similar in an
21:21
episode just not that far back.
21:23
Yeah. Why put yourself at risk? Well,
21:26
you know, he's pleaded not guilty. And
21:29
then obviously they said, okay, you
21:31
got to show up for this. He decides
21:33
I'm not going to, and
21:35
then you're going to have to deal with
21:37
the repercussion. And I'm thinking
21:39
she went and she say, Hey buddy, you
21:41
got to go to this thing. Oh, absolutely.
21:45
This show is sponsored by better health. Let me

23:36
and Greg were married for just over a
23:38
year before she was killed.
23:41
On the evening of February 19, 2009,
23:43
Chiquita was working late at
23:46
her office in downtown Baton Rouge. She
23:48
was preparing for a double murder
23:51
trial that was supposed to start
23:53
the following Monday. So I
23:55
can see why she was working late. Yeah. A
23:58
double murder trial, I'm sure. is a heck
24:01
of a lot of work to get ready for. Shakita
24:03
never came home that night. Greg
24:06
called her repeatedly and went to
24:08
the office around 6 a.m. on the morning of
24:10
the 20th. He called
24:13
911 because he couldn't get into the
24:15
building. He requested an officer
24:17
during his call and flagged
24:19
down an officer who was passing by, explaining
24:22
that he was concerned about his wife
24:24
because she didn't come home from work.
24:27
The officer entered the building and
24:29
found Shakita's body in her office.
24:32
She had been stabbed 43 times,
24:34
including a fatal wound to the
24:36
neck. Excessive. It
24:38
seems like that, right? 43 times. Now,
24:42
what do we normally say when
24:44
the number gets that high? So,
24:47
active rage, crime of
24:49
passion, rage. I mean, that's the
24:51
way that investigators are normally going
24:53
to look at something like that.
24:57
The one thing that did strike me as a little bit
24:59
odd is that he
25:02
waited till 6 a.m. and I
25:04
don't have all the facts surrounding that. Maybe
25:06
he went to sleep knowing that she was
25:09
going to be late and he woke up
25:11
to find that she wasn't home. I don't
25:13
know. Shakita was found on the
25:15
floor of her office and it
25:17
was obvious that she had fought for her
25:19
life. Books and papers were
25:21
strewn all over the office. There
25:24
were blood stains on the wall. It
25:26
appeared that she tried to use a
25:28
law book for self-defense. She
25:31
also had defensive wounds on her arms.
25:34
So she fought. She's a fighter, yeah. Investigators
25:37
found long strands of dark hair in
25:40
her hand. She wasn't clutching
25:42
the hair tightly like she had
25:44
died soon after pulling it out of
25:47
the killer's head. Instead, it
25:49
looked more like someone had put the
25:51
hair in her hand after
25:53
she died. It's kind of like laid
25:55
on top. Yeah. Yeah.
25:58
So obviously rigor. mortise would
26:01
start to set in. So
26:03
it could be questionable. Well, I
26:05
think that's the way I took it to
26:08
investigators. It didn't
26:10
look authentic. It looked
26:13
more like maybe someone
26:15
had placed the hair in
26:17
her hand after she had
26:19
already done. There were no footprints
26:21
and no blood was found outside
26:23
of her office and no murder
26:26
weapon was found at the scene. Chiquita
26:28
was still wearing her expensive jewelry,
26:30
but her wallet was missing. And
26:33
this is something that we talk about quite a lot. You
26:36
know, what type of crime
26:38
is this? What is the motive
26:40
for this murder? And
26:43
when someone is wearing some
26:45
expensive jewelry and the killer
26:47
doesn't take it, well, you've got
26:49
to look at it. Does it
26:52
mean something definitively? I
26:54
would say no, but it
26:57
definitely could mean something because if
26:59
you've gone through the act
27:02
of murdering someone and you
27:04
took that person's wallet, why
27:06
would you not also take
27:09
this expensive jewelry? Unless
27:11
the jewelry was too hard to take off the
27:13
body. You didn't want to leave any potential
27:15
DNA behind. Yeah. Yeah. I get that. So
27:18
you took the easy thing, the wallet and
27:20
left everything else behind. Yeah. I get that.
27:22
If you thought like that. The
27:24
detectives on the scene focused on
27:26
creating a timeline of
27:29
Chiquita's final hours, she
27:31
went to court on February 19th and
27:33
spoke to reporters about her case. She
27:36
returned to the office to continue
27:39
working. Her assistant, Leslie
27:41
Hoofkin left around 5.30. Chiquita
27:44
told her she was going to stay a
27:46
while to finish up some work. Chiquita
27:49
called Greg around 7 p.m. and
27:52
asked if he could bring her dinner. Greg
27:54
picked up McDonald's and entered the building to
27:56
bring it to her. He noticed there were
27:58
a number of people. working
28:00
late in the building. So,
28:03
so far nothing out of the ordinary? No,
28:05
doesn't seem like it other than
28:08
the fact that he chose McDonald's
28:10
for her dinner. Do you like McDonald's?
28:13
The McRed? Yeah, but
28:15
I can only get that every now and then.
28:17
The other thing I think is probably normal is you
28:20
have a number of other people working late
28:22
in the building. It's that type
28:24
of job. You know, it's not a nine to
28:26
five job. Being an attorney? No. No,
28:29
especially a defense attorney. Yeah, and
28:31
especially if you have a huge case
28:33
coming up in a few days. Greg
28:36
helped Chiquita by bringing money to
28:38
one of her clients downstairs and
28:41
picking up some paperwork from that client. Chiquita
28:44
told him she had more work to do
28:46
and another client to see. He
28:48
left around 8 30 p.m. Initially
28:50
Greg said he went straight home
28:53
after this. So you said nothing out
28:55
of the ordinary? It does
28:57
sound from what we know so
28:59
far as though, you know, he's just kind
29:02
of being the good husband. He's trying
29:04
to help her. He knows, you
29:06
know, she's under the gun. She's got
29:08
a lot of work to do. So he's helping her out.
29:10
Yeah, I'll bring you dinner. I'll take care of some errands
29:12
for you. That way you don't have to worry about that
29:15
stuff. There were surveillance cameras
29:17
and traffic cameras outside the office.
29:20
Detectives hope to find footage of the killer
29:22
entering the office. Unfortunately the
29:25
closest camera to Chiquita's office
29:27
was not working due to
29:29
a recent storm. We've had that
29:31
occur in a few episodes here recently,
29:33
right? The camera was there. It just
29:36
wasn't operational. Like the one
29:38
camera that would have been the most
29:40
beneficial seems to crop
29:43
up like that in some
29:45
episodes. Now you can
29:47
go back a number of years and
29:50
you have the convenience store who has
29:52
the camera, but it's not real. Yeah,
29:54
that's remember though. Yeah, it really
29:56
wasn't connected to anything. It wasn't
29:58
recording anything. It was just
30:00
more of a deterrent. Right. People
30:02
walked in and said, Oh, they got camera, Sarah,
30:04
go on down to the next door. Yeah.
30:07
Had a little light on it that blinked or
30:09
something. Greg's family expressed
30:11
concerns about Chiquita's clients, some
30:13
of whom were accused of
30:16
very violent crimes. One
30:18
possible theory was that
30:20
Chiquita had angered someone with
30:22
her reportedly volatile temper, according
30:25
to oxygen. And
30:27
this was the thought that, you know, I
30:29
kind of had doing
30:32
the research as a
30:34
defense attorney. Like I said, you're
30:36
going to defend some
30:38
people with questionable morals,
30:42
maybe long rap sheets. What
30:45
happens if they don't like something
30:47
that you do in the
30:50
course of defending them? Could
30:52
it be that they want
30:54
revenge? They come after
30:56
you. Absolutely. Yeah. Yeah. I
30:59
do think that has to be a working theory
31:01
in the beginning, but investigators thought
31:04
this was unlikely because Chiquita worked
31:06
hard for her clients and
31:08
didn't have any known issues with
31:10
any of them, but they still
31:12
looked into her client list to
31:14
establish alibi and
31:17
the two clients Chiquita was representing for
31:19
the upcoming trial were in jail when
31:21
she was murdered. So those alibis
31:24
are pretty easy to verify. I
31:26
do like the fact that the
31:29
police, even though they thought this
31:31
was an unlikely theory, still
31:33
went through the client list, still tried
31:36
to establish alibis for these
31:38
people. Yeah. Cause I think you have to,
31:40
right? You have to check that off the
31:42
list. Well, you don't have to.
31:45
And I think that's the problem in
31:48
some cases. It could have
31:50
been possible that investigators said, eh, I just
31:53
don't think that's likely. So we're not going
31:55
to run that down. Now you
31:57
should, you definitely should. And they did. Yeah,
32:00
because now you can eliminate it as
32:03
the possibility just for your own
32:05
concern. But also, you know, eventually,
32:08
hopefully, in this case, we know they do.
32:11
You catch the individual that did this
32:13
and what you don't want it is to be used
32:16
against you later by the defense
32:18
saying, how do you know it
32:20
wasn't one of her clients? Yeah. So we're pointed
32:22
out by the defense that you're
32:24
sloppy because you didn't follow up on this or
32:26
follow up on that. When investigators
32:29
began looking into her marriage,
32:31
they discovered that Chiquita and
32:33
Greg were having serious problems.
32:35
Chiquita had threatened to leave Greg multiple
32:38
times during their marriage. About
32:40
a month before she died, she signed a
32:42
lease for an apartment and paid
32:44
three months of rent, but she had not
32:46
yet moved in. They also learned
32:49
that Greg was having some financial
32:51
troubles. So that's pretty
32:53
interesting and had to have been
32:55
to police. It's one thing to
32:57
threaten to leave, but to
33:00
me, it's another thing to
33:02
rent an apartment and pay in
33:04
advance. Taking the steps to
33:06
get out. Yeah. I mean, that's taking it
33:08
to another level. It shows
33:10
that she was pretty serious about it.
33:13
And we know that the husband,
33:15
the significant other is going
33:17
to be looked at. And
33:19
the financial troubles probably didn't
33:22
look real great in his favor as well.
33:25
Chiquita's sister, Danita recalled her
33:27
saying on February 19th that
33:30
she could no longer stay married to Greg.
33:32
Danita told Dateline, you
33:34
know, in a relationship you have to
33:37
compromise. I don't think she was willing
33:39
to do it. It was her way
33:42
or no way. That's a tough relationship to be
33:44
in. It really is. I
33:46
mean, compromise is a
33:48
big deal in any
33:50
relationship. It really is. If
33:53
you have one person that is, you
33:55
know, it's my way or the highway, it's
33:57
going to be tough sledding for sure.
34:00
But it does sound like she
34:02
was that type of person, you know,
34:04
very driven. She wanted everything
34:07
the way that she wanted it. And
34:10
that's okay if you're on your own. Sure. But
34:12
when you're trying to share your life with
34:14
someone else, they may not want
34:17
to do everything the way that you want them
34:19
to do it. They may not
34:21
do it the way you want them to do it. And
34:24
if that my way or no
34:26
way kind of comes in, it's
34:28
going to be a constant battle. Yeah. And I think
34:30
this is the problem of jumping into
34:32
a marriage as quick as they did. Right.
34:35
He didn't get a chance or
34:37
neither one got a chance to see how each
34:39
of them really are in long-term. Well, I
34:42
think that's a great point because it does
34:44
sound from the research, like everything
34:46
happened very quickly from
34:48
the time they met to the time that they moved
34:51
in to the time that they were married. Greg's
34:53
father, Silver Harris, told Dateline
34:55
that some of their problems
34:58
stemmed from Chiquita's long hours
35:00
and work and her frequent
35:02
travel for cases. But you
35:04
know what? You married a defense attorney. I
35:06
think you kind of know that's how
35:08
it's going to be. And I'm assuming when
35:11
you met her, she was working long hours at that
35:13
time too. But again, in
35:16
the early stages, right?
35:18
You're in love. You're
35:20
euphoric. Isn't it natural
35:22
for people to kind of overlook
35:25
certain things or not think
35:27
that they're going to be as big of
35:29
a deal as they will ultimately turn out
35:31
to be? Because we're in love
35:33
and love conquers all. Exactly. Well,
35:36
it can, but it
35:38
doesn't always. Detectives saw the record
35:40
of the domestic violence incident from
35:43
December 2007 and the
35:45
outstanding mourn against Greg. Greg
35:48
told them he forgot to show up to
35:50
court. So I already said he had some
35:53
things that were probably causing the
35:55
alarm bells to go off for
35:57
investigators. This had to be. The
36:00
capper. I mean, a woman
36:02
ends up murdered. Her
36:05
husband has this
36:07
record of domestic violence. He's
36:10
gotten an arrest warrant. That's outstanding.
36:13
That doesn't look great. It doesn't. And
36:16
why is it still outstanding? Well, that
36:18
part I wasn't sure about. Greg
36:20
was arrested on February 21st, 2009
36:24
for simple battery, domestic violence, and
36:26
failure to appear in court. This
36:29
allowed investigators to hold him in
36:31
jail for further questioning during the
36:33
early phase of the investigation. And
36:36
I think for investigators, that's
36:38
always a great scenario. Oh, I
36:40
think they love that. Now
36:43
we got the person that we
36:45
think might have something to do with it. And we
36:47
don't have to worry about them being out on the
36:49
streets. We know exactly where they're at. And
36:52
we can go back to them and question them again
36:54
and again, because it right down the
36:57
corridor in the, uh, in the jail.
37:00
Investigators got a break in the case
37:02
when a woman called to report that
37:05
she found Shakita's wallet on
37:07
Gardere Lane. Gardere Lane
37:09
is located in what was
37:11
described according to the
37:13
date line as a crime-ridden area of
37:15
Baton Rouge. The woman recognized
37:17
Shakita because she visited her daughter's
37:20
school in the past and
37:22
she'd heard news about the murder. So
37:24
she knew right away the importance of
37:27
what she had found, but
37:29
this evidence was puzzling to investigators.
37:31
The wallet was found in a section of the
37:34
city with a higher crime rate, but
37:36
her ID and credit cards were still
37:38
inside. And Shakita owned
37:40
a Gucci wallet, meaning that,
37:43
you know, it was valuable even
37:45
without the cards or the
37:47
cash inside. Investigators believed
37:49
that the killer planted the
37:51
evidence, hoping that someone would
37:53
steal the wallet and use the credit
37:55
cards, which would link them to the
37:57
murder. Yeah, it doesn't make any sense.
38:00
that someone would toss one,
38:02
the very expensive wallet
38:04
out, why wouldn't they hold onto
38:06
it for themselves, or why wouldn't they sell
38:09
it to their body? And then
38:11
again, you have these credit cards. And
38:14
cash. And cash that you're not gonna
38:16
keep. It doesn't make any sense.
38:19
But flip it
38:21
around and think about
38:24
someone having
38:26
the idea to plant the
38:28
wallet there, hoping that someone
38:30
would come along, find it, use
38:33
the credit cards, investigators are
38:35
gonna see that, they're gonna track it back
38:38
to the person, and they're
38:40
gonna believe that that person had something
38:42
to do with the murder. That's actually
38:44
kinda smart. But their plan didn't
38:47
work out that way because? No
38:49
one took the bait. Yeah, someone good,
38:51
a good person found
38:53
the wallet. And turned it in. Yeah. But
38:56
I think to investigators, this
38:59
indicated some pretty extensive planning
39:02
by the killer. Detectives wanted
39:04
to question Greg again. They
39:06
told him that cameras captured him
39:08
taking a different way home than
39:11
what he said in his last
39:13
interview. They also told him they checked
39:15
his phone records. Now both statements
39:17
were a lie, but it helped
39:20
the investigators when they confronted Greg
39:22
about the wallet. Yeah, I think
39:24
you have to remember, when you're being
39:26
questioned by authorities, they're
39:28
not obligated to be honest. We're truthful.
39:30
Truthful with you. Yeah, it's
39:33
been ruled on by the Supreme Court.
39:35
Investigators can lie. Greg
39:38
admitted that he went to Gardere Lane
39:40
on the night of the murder to
39:43
buy steroids from his dealer. But
39:45
we already mentioned it, right? In his
39:47
first statement, he said he went straight
39:49
home after leaving the office. And
39:51
what have you said time and time again? It's
39:54
a problem when your story changes. It
39:57
never makes you look good. No, you're
39:59
setting yourself up. up to appear to be
40:01
guilty. Now you could make an argument
40:03
that, you know, he didn't want to
40:06
disclose the fact that he was buying
40:08
steroids from a dealer. You can make
40:10
a lot of different arguments as a
40:12
defense attorney, but the minute
40:14
you change your story, I think
40:17
right away investigators think
40:20
that that means something and
40:22
let's not forget that he's putting himself on
40:24
Gardere Lane that
40:26
night. Exactly. I just
40:28
think when you're being questioned and you
40:31
decide to talk to the authorities about your
40:33
attorney, your best to say what
40:35
actually really happened, unless you're, you know, if
40:37
you're guilty, you're going to try to twist
40:39
it around. But if you went
40:41
to get some steroids, isn't that better to
40:44
say, I went to buy some
40:46
steroids versus saying, no, I just
40:48
went home and be
40:50
looked at a little differently for the murder of your wife.
40:53
I just don't know why you would want to hide
40:55
the fact that you went and bought some steroids. What's
40:58
going to happen to you? Yeah. I mean,
41:00
you know, is it a
41:02
crime? Even if it is,
41:04
it's doesn't rise to
41:06
the level of putting
41:08
yourself in the crosshairs of being
41:10
a murderer. Exactly. Greg
41:12
denied having any recent problems in
41:14
his marriage and said he and
41:16
Chiquita were working through their issues.
41:19
Greg also said he had never
41:21
hit Chiquita before. Or
41:23
of course, he's going to try to downplay all that stuff against
41:25
him. Yeah. He wants to soften it,
41:27
right? He wants to make himself look
41:30
as, as good as possible. Detectives
41:33
received an anonymous tip informing them
41:35
that Chiquita was involved in a
41:37
love triangle with two female
41:39
clients who were already in a
41:42
relationship. The police tracked down these
41:44
clients. The women explained that Chiquita
41:46
was helping them with an adoption
41:48
and their relationship with her was strictly
41:51
professional. Now police wanted
41:54
an explanation regarding this false tip.
41:56
They traced the tipster's phone to Dallas.
42:00
And they learned that the number
42:02
belonged to Greg's sister. Okay.
42:04
Little sister or big sister. So
42:07
is sisters trying to help them out? Yeah,
42:09
but she's going to have a
42:11
lot of explaining to do, right, as to why
42:14
she called in this false tip.
42:17
Or why did someone use her phone? Yeah,
42:19
that's true. She could say she
42:22
didn't do it. And I think that's
42:24
exactly what she did. When
42:26
questioned, she claimed she didn't place the
42:28
call. But the police were
42:30
suspicious, which they should have been, that
42:33
the family was trying to take suspicion
42:35
away from Greg. Greg's family
42:37
insisted he was not the killer. And
42:40
even Chiquita's sister, Danita, had a
42:42
hard time believing Greg could be
42:44
the killer. And we've seen
42:46
this time and time again. It is very
42:48
difficult for family
42:51
members to believe that,
42:53
you know, this person they've known their
42:55
whole life, and even
42:57
sometimes the in-laws, to
43:00
believe that this person is capable
43:04
of such a heinous act. Yeah.
43:07
And I think as a family member, I think
43:09
it'd be kind of natural to
43:11
think that it had to be
43:13
one of her clients or somebody related to that,
43:16
because she's in that line of
43:18
business where you're dealing with, I mean,
43:21
some shady people. Yeah, I get
43:23
that. And I think that's
43:25
a good thing. Ophthalmologist

44:40
Greg's father, Silver Harris, told Dateline that
44:42
his daughter was not trying to throw
44:44
the police off with her tip. She
44:47
received this piece of information from him,
44:49
and he got it from another attorney. They
44:52
wanted the detectives to look down
44:54
all possible investigative avenues. He claimed
44:56
he didn't encourage her to call
44:59
in the tip and said
45:01
she did this on her own. So
45:03
she's saying she didn't even make the call
45:05
at all. The dad's saying
45:07
she made the call, but I gave
45:09
her the information. Well, obviously
45:11
something's not true. Yeah, definitely
45:14
somebody's lying there. Around this
45:16
time, DNA testing from the crime
45:18
scene was completed. There was
45:20
no DNA evidence on the hairs
45:22
found in Chiquita's hand because the
45:24
hairs came from a weave. These
45:27
types of hair extensions are often worn
45:29
by women. This suggested
45:31
the possibility of a female
45:33
killer. And that makes sense, right?
45:36
I mean, I know you tried to weave out
45:38
once. I did. I did. And it was, it
45:40
was not a good look. It definitely was not.
45:42
It kind of turned out to be the
45:44
the comb-over from hell. Yeah. The
45:47
lab found DNA from Greg and
45:50
an unknown male under
45:52
Chiquita's fingernails. On March
45:54
4th, the police executed a search
45:56
warrant on Greg's car and home. The
45:58
warrant stated that that Chiquita was
46:01
planning on divorcing the defendant
46:03
due to marital problems. It
46:06
was also noted that when Greg
46:08
was first interviewed, detectives noticed injuries
46:11
to his hand and left arm,
46:13
which appeared to be cuts and
46:15
scratches per the news outlet WAFB.
46:18
Well, that's not going to be
46:20
good for him. No, it's not. We talked
46:23
about how Chiquita fought for her life.
46:26
So you would think it would be
46:28
natural that whoever
46:30
killed her would have
46:32
some type of wounds. Detectives
46:35
didn't find much visual evidence, such
46:37
as weapons or bloody clothing, but
46:39
they did find a bottle of
46:42
chlorops with small visible spots of
46:44
blood on the handle. And
46:46
a box of weeds was found under
46:48
Greg's bed. Inside a
46:50
closet, investigators found the device
46:53
with an audio recording of Greg
46:55
and Chiquita having a loud argument.
46:58
It sounded like they were dividing up
47:00
their household furniture. Okay. Not
47:03
great for Greg with
47:05
a box of weeds underneath his bed, if it's
47:07
tied to the same weeds that was in her
47:10
hand. I don't think any of this
47:12
is great for Greg. I
47:14
mean, the recording kind of almost
47:16
solidifies the fact that she
47:18
was planning on leaving. Yeah. And
47:22
they didn't have this good relationship that he
47:24
said they had. That they
47:26
were working to
47:28
solve their marital issues. Detectives
47:32
sprayed luminol throughout the house and
47:34
found blood traces all throughout,
47:37
including the washer and dryer in the
47:39
closet. In Greg's vehicle, they
47:41
found a pair of safety glasses under
47:44
the seat. Testing found
47:46
a mix of Greg and Chiquita's
47:48
blood on both the Clorox
47:50
bottle and the safety glasses.
47:53
Okay. None of that is great. Right.
47:55
None of the stuff that we talked about is
47:57
great for Greg. Now. In
48:00
your mind, you can start to formulate
48:02
what or how a defense
48:05
attorney might try to combat some
48:07
of these things that they found. Greg
48:10
was charged with second degree murder
48:12
and illegal use of a
48:15
dangerous weapon on March 16,
48:17
2009. Greg was in court that day
48:19
for a hearing on an outstanding traffic
48:21
charge. He was ordered to pay a $10 fine
48:25
and was going to be released later that day. But
48:27
that was when detectives decided to charge him
48:30
with murder to keep him in jail.
48:33
Greg was indicted for second degree murder on
48:35
April 9. He bonded out
48:37
on April 17, but
48:40
was immediately re-arrested on stolen
48:42
property charges. He was able
48:44
to post bond on those charges and was
48:46
released to await trial. So it sounds
48:48
to me like they tried a bunch of different things to
48:51
keep this guy in jail. Just
48:54
two days later, Greg called the police
48:56
to report that someone tried to
48:58
kill him. Must have been the same person
49:00
that killed her is what he's probably trying
49:02
to set up. Could
49:05
be. The shooting took place around 3 a.m. on
49:07
April 20, 2009. Greg
49:10
reported that someone fired five shots into
49:13
his home while he slept. He
49:15
wasn't hit and the police found
49:17
a bullet hole in the window and
49:20
the headboard of his bed, which
49:22
indicated the shooter was trying to
49:24
kill him. Greg's father,
49:26
Silver Harris, told Dateline someone came
49:28
up to his bedroom window around
49:31
3 40 in the morning and shoots into
49:33
the bedroom window five times with
49:35
a 10 millimeter gun, hoping
49:37
that he was in bed. It just
49:40
so happened that Greg fell asleep on
49:42
the sofa. God saved him.
49:44
He was not in bed. Was
49:46
that believable? Well, not
49:48
to prosecutors because they believe
49:50
Greg might have staged this attack in
49:53
yet another attempt to throw the police
49:55
off. Greg's murder trial started on
49:57
March 22nd, 2000. In
50:00
2011, prosecutor Prim Burns told
50:02
the jury that Greg
50:04
Harris was the person who had
50:06
both the motive and opportunity to
50:08
kill Chiquita. He wanted to
50:10
kill her because she was going to leave him.
50:13
Greg had a history of
50:15
control issues in previous relationships.
50:18
And if Chiquita divorced him, he
50:20
could no longer control her. I
50:23
mean, we know there's people like this
50:25
that want to control their
50:28
relationship and control their
50:30
partner, and if they can't, it's
50:32
devastating for them. The prosecution
50:34
argued that Greg went to elaborate
50:37
lengths to avoid suspicion, including placing
50:39
the long hairs in Chiquita's hand
50:41
to suggest a female killer dumping
50:44
her wallet in a bad part
50:46
of town and staging
50:48
the attempted murder at his home.
50:51
Greg's defensive attorney, Louis Unglesby,
50:53
said there wasn't enough
50:55
evidence for a conviction. The
50:58
focus soon shifted from the trial
51:00
evidence to tensions between the prosecution
51:02
and defense. According
51:04
to WAFB, prosecutor Prim
51:07
Burns complained that Lance Unglesby
51:09
was stolen and accused him
51:11
of buffaloeing around the courtroom
51:13
like everybody else is stupid.
51:17
Like a little courtroom drama. Yeah,
51:19
apparently the two didn't like each
51:21
other. Unglesby responded, the
51:24
prosecutor is afraid of the evidence.
51:26
And to me, this is, you know, always the heart of
51:29
the trial. There's evidence for
51:31
sure. Is it enough? Is
51:33
it going to be enough for the jury
51:36
to be convinced that
51:39
Greg Harris murdered his
51:41
wife? Did you ever see the
51:43
movie with Jamie Foxx and Tommy Lee
51:45
Jones? Jamie Foxx plays this
51:47
big time attorney, but
51:50
he's normally like a personal
51:52
injury attorney, but he brings
51:54
him pulled into the case by
51:56
Tommy Lee Jones. He owns some
51:58
funeral homes. No. Oh, it's a,
52:01
it's a, it's a really good movie space on
52:03
a true story. And, uh,
52:05
but there's, there's some scenes where him
52:08
and the prosecutor or the, the other
52:10
attorney, um, there's
52:12
a lot of banter back and forth that kind
52:15
of makes me think of this, you know, it's
52:17
just like the drama. Are you going to tell
52:19
us the name of this really good movie? I
52:21
can't remember. All
52:24
right. Yeah. But it was actually, it was a good,
52:26
it came out like a year ago. I'm sure I
52:28
can Google it. Yeah. Cause we have
52:30
talked about a lot of evidence we
52:32
have, but is
52:34
it definitive? Is it enough
52:37
proof? And that's always the thing.
52:39
The jury viewed photos of the bleach
52:42
bottle found inside the home with
52:44
blood stains on the handle. The
52:46
defense said the blood was old and
52:48
could have been there long before the
52:51
murder occurred. They also suggested the possibility
52:53
that it could have been menstrual blood.
52:56
So I said, right. You can kind
52:58
of picture or think
53:00
about some of the ways that
53:03
a defense attorney is going
53:05
to try to combat the evidence. Yeah.
53:07
They're just trying to put doubt in your
53:09
mind, right? That's their job. Yeah. Well,
53:12
and it could be true. Absolutely. It could
53:14
be the jury then watched
53:17
Greg's interrogation video. Greg
53:19
was told he was a prime suspect in
53:21
the murder. A detective asked if he
53:23
thought he could get away with it. Greg
53:26
said, get away with it. I
53:28
didn't do anything to get away with. I
53:31
didn't kill my wife. During the
53:33
interview, he removed his shirt and undershirt
53:35
and challenged the police to test the
53:37
items. He said, if Chiquita's
53:39
blood is on my shirt, I'm going
53:41
down. You got me. I did it.
53:44
WAFB reported that Greg's blood
53:46
was found on those items,
53:49
but Chiquita's was not. So
53:51
the blood on his items, was that from
53:53
her defending herself against him? Or
53:56
were these even the same clothes? Yeah.
53:59
That. You know, he was
54:01
wearing when this all went down,
54:03
did he have blood on him? He
54:06
changed into new
54:08
clothes, didn't realize that maybe
54:10
he had blood on them and that blood got
54:12
on the new clothes. Yeah. Nothing
54:14
really definitive. No, but my
54:17
thought is, you know, when
54:19
you stab somebody 43 times,
54:22
you're not walking away without blood on
54:24
your clothing. It's going to be
54:26
pretty tough. I think it'd be extremely tough. Chiquita's
54:29
assistant testified that she
54:32
knew that she was having marital
54:34
problems. Chiquita told her she was
54:36
tired of being married. Officers
54:38
who responded to the domestic violence
54:40
incident in 2007 testified that no
54:44
one was immediately arrested, but Chiquita
54:46
wanted Greg to leave that night.
54:49
Before the prosecution rested, two
54:51
of Greg's former girlfriends testified
54:53
that he physically abused him.
54:56
One of them said he had
54:58
a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
55:00
personality. Um, you know what,
55:02
uh, brings out the Dr.
55:04
Jekyll and Mr. Hyde personality, somebody
55:07
that wants to control
55:09
the relationship and doesn't have a
55:11
problem yelling at you. So they
55:13
both wanted control, but she had
55:15
no problem arguing. Maybe
55:18
he just didn't like that. And that was, that would be
55:20
the thing to flip him. Well, and
55:22
I was also kind of thinking that
55:25
the flip might have
55:27
occurred at the point where there was
55:29
no doubt she was leaving, you
55:31
know, going back to the control, you
55:33
know, at the point where he was
55:36
certain that he was going to
55:38
lose the ability to have
55:40
any control over her. Sure. Maybe he found
55:43
some rental receipts. That might've been this, or
55:45
maybe she told him. Yeah. Just flat
55:47
out said, Hey, I'm leaving you buddy. On
55:50
April 9th, 2011, both
55:52
the prosecution and defense were
55:55
shocked when the jury convicted
55:57
Greg of manslaughter. There was
55:59
such an outburst. in the courtroom that one
56:01
person was arrested. That's pretty
56:03
interesting. I mean, you always have outbursts
56:06
and the judge has to quiet everybody
56:08
down, but people must've
56:10
kept on because somebody got arrested.
56:13
Prosecutor Prem Burns spoke to the
56:15
jury after the verdict. She told WAFB
56:17
that they had no doubt Greg
56:19
was the killer. Their smoking
56:21
gun was the wallet found
56:23
on Gardere Lane. Jurors
56:26
asked for the definition of
56:28
murder versus manslaughter. Burns
56:30
speculated that they might not have fully
56:32
understood the law. According to
56:34
Burns, the jury believes
56:36
something occurred in Chiquita's office that
56:39
incited Greg to kill her. Perhaps
56:41
she cursed at him or hit him. Burns
56:44
said that these actions would not
56:46
justify Chiquita being stabbed 43 times
56:50
and added per WFAB, if
56:52
you find that the average person's blood
56:55
would have cooled in that situation, you
56:58
cannot return a verdict of
57:00
manslaughter. It has to be second
57:02
or first degree murder. Burns said
57:04
the jury mistakenly believed the
57:06
manslaughter conviction carried the same
57:09
penalty as second degree murder.
57:11
When she told them that it didn't, some
57:14
of them started crying. Well, this is
57:16
probably why the prosecution was
57:19
shocked by them coming back with a
57:21
manslaughter finding. I
57:23
absolutely think it is. I'm
57:26
a little surprised they weren't aware because
57:28
typically a lot of that information
57:30
is spelled out for you when
57:33
you're on a jury. Yeah, like
57:35
the jury instructions and all that,
57:37
but it sounds to me,
57:40
at least according to the prosecutor
57:42
that the jury thought, you know,
57:45
Chiquita might have incited Greg,
57:48
but cursing and even,
57:51
you know, hitting someone shouldn't
57:53
result in what happened. You know, if
57:55
my wife and I get in an
57:57
argument and we're kind of yelling at
58:00
each other and she hits
58:02
me in the arm. She would never
58:04
do that, but let's just say she did. And
58:06
she'll like the fact that I'm putting her in
58:09
this. I don't have the right to
58:11
then stab her 43 times. No,
58:14
it hasn't risen to that
58:16
level. Now, if somebody breaks
58:18
into my house is
58:21
intent on doing me harm, then
58:24
I can defend myself. Yeah. But
58:26
not a certain level to a certain level, but
58:29
not, not if my wife hits me in my
58:31
arm or whatever. Should
58:33
I be reasonably concerned
58:36
for my life, for my
58:39
safety? If my 115 pound wife hits me
58:41
in the arm. No,
58:45
I weigh more than twice what she
58:47
does. Right. So, I mean, I
58:49
think that's what the prosecution is getting at.
58:52
That the jury believed
58:54
that in some way,
58:56
the level of violence
59:00
I don't want to say was valid, but
59:02
it didn't rise to murder because
59:06
they thought Greg was incited. That's, I
59:08
guess that's what I'm taking from it.
59:11
Now, obviously it sounds like once
59:13
they found out that murder
59:15
and manslaughter have two very
59:18
different sentencing guidelines,
59:22
they must have realized that they were wrong. You
59:25
know, for members of the jury to start
59:27
crying once they heard it. Burns
59:29
told WAFB the system let
59:32
Chiquita Tate down. I
59:34
feel like the system that I've spent 36 years
59:37
in let her down. Defense
59:39
attorney, Louis Unglesby explained that the
59:41
jury was told the penalty for
59:44
secondary murder, but not
59:46
the penalty for responsive verdicts.
59:49
He said, I don't know what they
59:51
think they've done. Honestly. So
59:53
I mean, I think that kind of
59:55
spells it out why both sides
59:57
were shocked. At the verdict.
59:59
I don't know what the defense attorney thought
1:00:02
was going to happen, but he's even saying
1:00:04
he doesn't understand what the jury
1:00:06
thought they were trying to do. But he's
1:00:09
happy about it. Well, I think he's happier
1:00:11
about manslaughter than he would have
1:00:14
been about second degree murder for
1:00:16
sure. Prosecutor Burns
1:00:18
told Dateline that another motive
1:00:20
was Chiquita's $60,000 life insurance
1:00:24
policy of which Greg
1:00:26
was the beneficiary. On the
1:00:28
night of the murder, Greg called his boss and
1:00:30
asked for an advance or a loan on his
1:00:32
401k. But his
1:00:35
boss told him it wasn't possible. We
1:00:37
kind of said that when police
1:00:40
looked into his financials, he
1:00:42
was having money problems. Greg's
1:00:44
attorney told Dateline that he had no
1:00:46
reason to kill Chiquita because he had
1:00:49
so much going for him. They
1:00:51
still believed the long strands of
1:00:53
hair indicated the female killer and
1:00:56
suggested two people were involved. Unglesby
1:00:59
also noted that Greg was reluctant
1:01:01
to admit he went to Gardere
1:01:03
Lane on the night of
1:01:05
the murder because buying steroids is illegal.
1:01:08
And we kind of discussed that a little
1:01:10
bit, but you go back to
1:01:12
the prosecution saying that was to
1:01:15
them kind of their smoking gun.
1:01:17
That's right. He finally admitted that
1:01:20
that night he was on Gardere
1:01:22
Lane in the same vicinity
1:01:24
of where the wallet was found. So
1:01:26
it must have been him. It's
1:01:29
a tough thing to dispute. To
1:01:31
me, it's way more than
1:01:33
a, what's the word I'm trying to shoot
1:01:35
for? Coincidence? Yeah.
1:01:39
That he happens to be in the
1:01:41
same area where the wallet's found. Yeah.
1:01:43
Yeah. I agree with that as well. I
1:01:46
also know you can't say the word coincidence
1:01:48
and you made me say it, but I
1:01:51
think you're exactly right. What
1:01:53
are the chances that he just
1:01:55
happens to be on
1:01:57
this street buying a legal wallet?
1:02:00
steroids at the
1:02:02
same place where his wife's wallet is
1:02:04
found after she's murdered. Yeah, it just
1:02:07
doesn't add up. Could it happen technically
1:02:09
yes, but what are the odds? Greg
1:02:12
Harris was sentenced to 40 years in
1:02:14
prison on September 30th 2011,
1:02:18
which was the maximum penalty for
1:02:20
a manslaughter conviction. His appeal
1:02:23
was denied in November 12th.
1:02:25
The Louisiana Supreme Court led his
1:02:27
conviction and sentence stand in May
1:02:29
2013. In
1:02:32
response, Greg filed an application
1:02:34
for post conviction relief. Greg's
1:02:36
attorney alleged that D'Nard Duhart,
1:02:38
the deceased brother of one
1:02:40
of Chiquita's former clients, was
1:02:43
the killer based on witness
1:02:45
statements. Duhart's name was also
1:02:47
brought up at trial. Duhart
1:02:49
died in 2013. He
1:02:52
was the brother of Darius
1:02:54
and D'Naco Duhart, who were
1:02:56
accused of killing a man in
1:02:59
2007. The charges against them
1:03:01
were later dismissed after several
1:03:03
witnesses were killed. And I
1:03:05
think anytime you have that situation, you're
1:03:08
looking at some very
1:03:10
dangerous individuals for sure. Now
1:03:13
let's say that they did
1:03:16
murder this man. They weren't convicted
1:03:18
of it, but let's just say they did
1:03:20
and that they were also
1:03:22
willing to murder witnesses.
1:03:24
It's gonna be tough for
1:03:26
people to stand up and testify against
1:03:29
them. Sounds like there's no
1:03:31
lying that these guys weren't willing to
1:03:33
cross. Yeah, it
1:03:35
seems like that. And I think there are people like that,
1:03:37
right? They will go to
1:03:40
any length to stay free.
1:03:43
And if they're killing people
1:03:45
anyway, they're gonna kill anyone that
1:03:48
could possibly put them in jail
1:03:50
or prison. Yeah, actually sounds like a
1:03:54
movie. Chiquita represented
1:03:56
D'Naco Duhart less
1:03:59
than two months before she was killed,
1:04:01
she persuaded the judge to release
1:04:03
him because prosecutors were not ready
1:04:05
to try him. She was
1:04:07
working on the Doo-Hert case at
1:04:10
the time of her death. According
1:04:12
to Oxygen, the brothers knew
1:04:14
they could get a continuance if she died,
1:04:17
which could be a potential motive. We
1:04:20
mentioned it earlier, right? Both of these
1:04:22
suspects were in jail at
1:04:24
the time of the murder. And that doesn't
1:04:26
mean they couldn't have orchestrated something. Oh, I
1:04:28
was thinking the same thing. I mean, surely
1:04:30
they had influence outside of the
1:04:33
prison. They probably did, but please
1:04:35
don't call me Shirley. My thought
1:04:37
is, other than getting
1:04:39
a continuance, why would they want
1:04:42
to kill Chiquita? It sounds
1:04:44
like she was doing a really good job for them. So
1:04:46
it's not out of the realm of possibility,
1:04:48
but when you stack
1:04:51
that up against Grey and
1:04:53
the likelihood of which of
1:04:55
them is more true, I mean, I
1:04:58
think you have to lean towards Greg, right? Yeah,
1:05:00
I think you have to. Greg's petition
1:05:02
was rejected in March 2016. The
1:05:05
evidence in this case points
1:05:08
to Greg Harris's The Killer. He
1:05:10
had two motives, maintaining
1:05:12
control of Chiquita in
1:05:15
any way possible and the
1:05:17
$60,000 insurance payout, which would
1:05:19
help him out of his
1:05:22
financial troubles. Pretty strong
1:05:25
motives. Yeah, pretty strong motives.
1:05:28
I think, you know, as we wrap this
1:05:30
one up, the problem for me
1:05:32
in this case is that
1:05:34
it's hard to say that there is a
1:05:37
smoking gun. And I
1:05:40
think for the prosecution, they looked
1:05:42
at him being on that street
1:05:44
where the wallet was found as
1:05:47
the smoking gun. But is it
1:05:49
definitive? Because I think, like
1:05:51
with a lot of things, you could say, well,
1:05:54
it's possible he was there buying a
1:05:56
legal steroid. Yeah. And just happened to
1:05:58
be in the of this wallet. Now,
1:06:01
I don't believe that, and I don't
1:06:03
think it's that likely, but
1:06:05
could you say that it's
1:06:07
possible? Yes. And
1:06:09
that's where
1:06:12
this idea of reasonable doubt
1:06:14
comes in. Now, we
1:06:17
know the jury thought he was guilty. Why
1:06:20
they voted for
1:06:22
manslaughter, that is still
1:06:24
a little perplexing. And
1:06:27
I think according to the research,
1:06:29
some of them were pretty sorry about
1:06:31
it afterwards. Like they
1:06:34
just didn't understand the implications
1:06:37
of what they were doing. I mean, he
1:06:39
still got 40 years. He
1:06:41
did, but he's going to
1:06:43
get out. Yeah, I get it. I mean,
1:06:45
it's not the best scenario,
1:06:47
but hopefully they keep him
1:06:49
in for the bulk of that
1:06:52
40. Yeah. I mean, obviously he would
1:06:54
have gotten a much longer sentence with
1:06:56
a second degree murder conviction. So if
1:07:00
he is the killer, which it's kind
1:07:02
of hard not to believe that he
1:07:04
is, in my eyes, he
1:07:06
got off light. Yeah. Because
1:07:09
he's going to come up for parole
1:07:11
probably pretty early into
1:07:13
those 40 years. Now, whether he gets out or
1:07:15
not, we'll have to wait and
1:07:17
see, but the odds are probably in his
1:07:19
favor. Yeah. Yeah, they probably
1:07:21
are. But there's no doubt
1:07:24
that Chiquita was a talented
1:07:26
attorney. She would have
1:07:28
gone on most likely to have a
1:07:30
very successful career. The murder
1:07:32
of Chiquita Tate was a
1:07:34
major loss for the Baton
1:07:36
Rouge legal community because she
1:07:38
was dedicated to serving her
1:07:40
clients and representing vulnerable groups
1:07:42
of people. Now, did she have a
1:07:44
temper? Yeah. Sounds like she did, but
1:07:47
was she still a good person? To me,
1:07:49
it sounds like she was. Yeah. Maybe that temper
1:07:52
helped her in her legal field. Well,
1:07:54
you know, being a type A
1:07:57
personality and being able
1:07:59
to... to be direct
1:08:01
and, you know, kind of forceful when
1:08:03
you need to. I don't
1:08:06
think that hurts you as an
1:08:08
attorney. Could be beneficial. Now, one thing
1:08:10
that jumps out to me in this case is
1:08:12
if there wasn't all
1:08:14
this evidence that
1:08:17
Chiquita was planning on leaving
1:08:19
gray, you know, they
1:08:21
had the recording, right? About
1:08:24
them splitting up assets. She
1:08:27
had signed a lease agreement. She
1:08:29
had paid three months in advance.
1:08:31
I mean, it's very obvious that
1:08:34
she was leaving. And I think
1:08:37
Greg knew that without all
1:08:39
of that, you could make the
1:08:41
argument that it wouldn't
1:08:43
have been beneficial for Greg to kill
1:08:46
Chiquita, even for the
1:08:49
$60,000 in life insurance. I'm
1:08:52
sure she was making pretty good money and
1:08:55
would have only continued to make
1:08:57
more money year after year. Absolutely.
1:09:00
But if she leaves and
1:09:02
they get a divorce, then, you
1:09:04
know, obviously there's a divorce settlement, but
1:09:07
moving forward, he's not going to
1:09:09
be part of that
1:09:12
lucrative payday. Yeah. The
1:09:14
future income. Yeah. The future income.
1:09:16
So whether it was needing
1:09:18
the $60,000 because of his financial troubles or
1:09:21
whether it was the loss of her and the loss of
1:09:24
the control that he craved, there's
1:09:27
a couple of different motives there, but
1:09:31
it's just, it's strange that the jury came to
1:09:33
a decision that he did it,
1:09:36
but they came back with manslaughter when
1:09:38
if they were right, you
1:09:42
know, he stabbed her 43 times and one of
1:09:45
those was a fatal slash to
1:09:47
the neck or a fatal wound to the neck. And
1:09:49
they had the definition of second degree murder and
1:09:51
what that meant in front of
1:09:54
them. But he, Even
1:10:00
the defense attorney kind of
1:10:02
said that it was almost
1:10:04
like they didn't get everything or they
1:10:06
didn't understand what they got as
1:10:09
far as instructions. So nonetheless,
1:10:12
a very interesting
1:10:14
case, even though
1:10:16
most of it pretty circumstantial, hard
1:10:19
not to believe that Greg Harris
1:10:21
was the killer. And he
1:10:24
is serving time, but I don't think
1:10:26
he'll serve the amount of time that
1:10:28
he probably should. We got some voicemails,
1:10:30
Gibbs. You want to check those out? Yeah, it's here. Hey,
1:10:33
Mike and Gibby. Longtime
1:10:36
listener here from South Bend,
1:10:38
Indiana. My name is
1:10:40
Sarah and I have
1:10:42
been listening to your show for quite a few years.
1:10:45
And I first started really
1:10:47
listening to it when I was
1:10:50
in quarantine with my daughter when
1:10:52
she was a baby. There
1:10:54
just, there wasn't a whole lot to do. So
1:10:56
I got into watching and listening to a lot
1:10:59
of true cry. And now
1:11:01
I have a son who is almost
1:11:03
three months old. And sometimes
1:11:05
when he's being just a little extra
1:11:07
busty, I will pop
1:11:10
in my earbuds and listen to
1:11:12
a podcast to help me
1:11:14
keep my cool. And I
1:11:16
just want to say that I appreciate all
1:11:18
the content that you guys put out, the
1:11:20
research that you do, and for
1:11:23
bringing us a good show
1:11:25
every week. So be
1:11:27
safe and keep your own time ticking. Well,
1:11:30
appreciate the voicemail very much. Yeah,
1:11:33
it's been a long time for both
1:11:35
of us since we had a three
1:11:37
month old. Well, a long time, but
1:11:39
I can remember, those are
1:11:42
some wonderful, but sometimes
1:11:45
very trying time. Absolutely.
1:11:47
Because sometimes no matter
1:11:49
what you do, you just can't soothe
1:11:53
a young baby like that. And
1:11:56
you try and try and try. And sometimes
1:11:58
it's hard not to get. Frustrated. Let's
1:12:01
see if you're tired. Which you're
1:12:03
going to be. Exactly. If you've got a three
1:12:05
month old. She's for sure. She said
1:12:07
she was up there in South Bend. Yeah. Rudy.
1:12:10
Rudy. I love
1:12:13
that movie. And I don't know how many times I've
1:12:15
seen it, but if I watched it right now, I
1:12:17
would cry. Yeah. There's just, there's
1:12:19
some movies, even though I
1:12:21
know what's going to happen, it's
1:12:23
so moving to me at, you
1:12:25
know, at the end of Rudy that I
1:12:28
will ball. Gets you every time.
1:12:30
Gets me every time. Marley and
1:12:32
me, same way. Yeah. I lose it every
1:12:34
time. Hey guys, it's dispatch
1:12:36
Elisa. Long time, no hearing from me.
1:12:38
I'm sure you're wondering if I was
1:12:40
still alive. Well, I am. Thanks for
1:12:43
the shout out, by the way. And
1:12:45
as far as miscoding the
1:12:47
call of the shooting,
1:12:49
our computer automatically assigns
1:12:51
a priority to incidents.
1:12:54
Shooting, stabbing, medical
1:12:57
aid call. Those are the highest priorities.
1:12:59
So unless the dispatcher put
1:13:02
a totally different call type in,
1:13:04
I can't imagine it. Or unless they
1:13:06
have to do it manually. Anyway,
1:13:09
that is a, I can't even call
1:13:11
that a mistake. That is gross negligence
1:13:13
if you ask me. So, and I
1:13:16
rarely talk badly about other dispatchers as
1:13:18
right now I'm headed into another 12
1:13:20
hour shift. I have five of those
1:13:22
today and I've got to work two
1:13:24
of my days off for four hours
1:13:26
each. But I guess
1:13:28
that's just the life I chose. So
1:13:30
you guys have a great day. Keep
1:13:33
safe and keep your own time ticking. Always
1:13:35
love to hear from Lisa. And
1:13:37
I knew we would because that
1:13:39
was a very specific incident.
1:13:42
It was. And we need her
1:13:44
expertise to talk about. And
1:13:46
again, I don't know what they had back then,
1:13:49
whether they had that type of
1:13:51
automation that she's talking about or
1:13:53
is just miscoding, but we try
1:13:55
not to talk too bad about, you know,
1:13:58
emergency dispatchers because. I do believe it's a
1:14:00
very tough job. Oh, it has to be.
1:14:02
But you even hear her say it. That
1:14:05
type of mistake is gross negligence and
1:14:07
it's kind of hard not to think
1:14:10
it is. Yeah. We had
1:14:12
no mail bag this week. So that's it,
1:14:14
Gibbs, for another episode of True Crime All
1:14:16
the Time. So for Mike and Gibby, stay
1:14:18

1:15:28
hours to her parents' house to check on

seeing both her parents' cars in the
