| 0:00.0 | What's you know, alibiers. Welcome to another episode of Pretty Lies and Alibis. I'm Gigi is Saturday, February 15th. |
| 0:07.6 | Hope you guys are having a good weekend so far. I spent part of the day watching the preliminary hearing for Kendall, Mims, and Victoria Tippett. |
| 0:17.0 | They are charged with accessory after the fact, obstruction of justice, and concealing the commission |
| 0:23.0 | of a felony in the death of Jessica Barnes. Jessica's husband Brandon also behind bars, but |
| 0:29.8 | waived his right to a preliminary hearing. I've got some backstory episodes on this case, |
| 0:36.0 | so if you're not familiar, I'm going to link that |
| 0:38.0 | playlist in the description. Just a quick rundown, the three women lived with Brandon in a pool |
| 0:43.6 | house that was owned by Kendall's grandfather on the same property, just separate from that main |
| 0:49.9 | house. Brandon and Kendall had a child together, but when Jessica and Brandon met and Jessica moved in, |
| 0:57.9 | Brandon said that Kendall was his sister and the child was his niece. Eventually, Jessica learned the |
| 1:05.1 | truth, but Jessica and Brandon also got pregnant. She lost the baby. There's been a lot of talk from people that knew Jessica that perhaps she had been beaten and lost the baby. |
| 1:17.6 | However, Brandon was never charged with that. |
| 1:20.6 | Victoria was only in the house a few weeks before the murder, |
| 1:24.6 | still caught in the middle of this horrific story. So the preliminary |
| 1:30.4 | hearing was yesterday, February 14th in Anderson County, South Carolina. I would have gone, |
| 1:36.6 | but I'm sitting in the Rose Petal murder trial here in Greenville, but this was live streamed by |
| 1:41.8 | court TV and I was able to catch up on it today. |
| 1:51.3 | The only witness called for this preliminary hearing is Officer Steve Westcott with the Pendleton Police Department. |
| 1:54.0 | He was the lead investigator on the case. He explains how he established probable cause and just a little bit of a backstory. |
| 1:59.6 | So some of this makes more sense when we get there. |
| 2:02.2 | On July 31st of last year, police were called to Jessica's mother's house. Jessica was having a |
| 2:09.5 | mental health episode, threatened to harm herself, and was transported to the hospital. |
