The murder case against Angela Mejia, the woman accused of killing nine-year-old Chantel Crump, has been committed to the May Assizes after prosecutors submitted their exhibit list in the St. John’s Magistrates’ Court on Monday.

The updated list, which contains at least 28 items, includes two CD-ROMs — one containing approximately 40 crime scene photographs and another with over 150 autopsy images — along with a pathology report and a flash drive described as forensic evidence tagged to Chantel Crump.

Physical items listed as exhibits include clothing recovered from the scene, among them a Five Islands Primary School uniform, pink and white underwear, black school shoes, and a white vest.
Other items include 2 KFC bags and cups, and a flashlight.

A date will be set at the High Court during the May Assizes sitting.

    So in other words, all the evidence related to the rich white man/men that actually/likely killed Chantel has been collected and the prosecution now have an angle to frame Angela for the murder . The accomplice that assisted with covering it up (we know who you are) was bribed to plant some bloodied “evidence” in Angela’s house, and he’ll walk free as well
    … probably a lot richer than he was 1 year ago .

    that’s the man daily bread. As far as the law states, she has a right to a lawyer. Hope this case actually brings justice for the little girl

    I hope the May Assizes session finally brings clarity to this tragic story. So much grief and anger around this case, and the family deserves answers.

    I cannot stop thinking about little Chantel. A nine-year-old, her life taken in such a horrific way. My heart goes out to her family. I just hope justice is served and this case finally brings some closure.

    NO amount of money could persuade me to represent that demon. Look at her eyes. Pure evil. I can’t understand that lawyer.

    Thank you Jesus. Hopefully no more delays in the trial process

    I hope that girl suffer to the end! I hope they slowly kill her. Sentencing is not justice.

    Thought they said they didn’t find uniform at the scene? How now there’s evidence of uniform taken from the scene? That means her body was truly mutilated. Cause now all truths are coming out.
