Edrick Faust - Georgia Cold Case Trial - Day 1 Playlist: Creator Friends:    • Creator Friends   Tip Jar: https://tiptopjar.com/kattnotwilliams The Edrick Faust case is a tragic cold case finally hitting trial today—Day 1 with opening statements in Athens-Clarke County, Georgia. On January 19, 2001, 23-year-old UGA law student Tara Louise Baker was found dead in her burned apartment. She'd been brutally beaten, stabbed, sexually assaulted (including rape and aggravated sodomy), and the fire was set to cover it up. Renewed attention came from podcaster Cameron Jay's “Classic City Crime” series (June 2020–January 2021). In April 2023, Georgia passed the Coleman-Baker Act (named partly after Tara), allocating over $5 million to reopen cold cases via a GBI Cold Case Unit. In May 2024, the GBI unit, partnering with Athens-Clarke County Police, used new DNA tech and biological evidence to arrest Edrick Lamont Faust (then 50). He's facing 12 felony counts: malice murder, multiple felony murder counts, burglary, aggravated sodomy (multiple), rape, aggravated assault, first-degree arson, and possession of a knife during a felony. Faust has a prior criminal history (he pleaded guilty to aggravated assault less than a month after Baker's killing). Defense attorney: Ahmad R. Crews (Atlanta). Prosecution: Kris Bolden, assistant district attorney in Athens-Clarke County, delivered opening statements. Jury (8 men, 4 women) was seated last week; trial expected to run ~1 week, ending around Feb. 6. 0:00 Case summary 8:00 State motion to exclude phone number 9554 (outside jury presence) 13:43 Jeremy Howell, GBI Cold Case Unit Received items from Meredith Baker Schroeder BellSouth records for landline 9760 18:53 Elizabeth Bigham, GBI Cold Case Unit Reviewed ACPD files Attempted call detail records for 9760, Jan 16–19, 2001 No calls found, Dec 1–Jan 19 Found second number 9554 Defense did not oppose; motion granted 29:43 Defense motion re Faust interview Requested limited timestamps excluded Judge admonishes defense for lack of specificity No mention of prior criminal history State motions in limine granted No third-party culprit, no consent, no explaining charges in opening Sequestration ordered Jackson-Denno hearing 41:03 Juror email requesting relief 54:00 State opening Footboard ripped from bed Cord around neck Knife under body with blood ; Clock stopped at 9:32 Fire appears to start at bed Neighborhood canvas White male ~7:45 AM Black male ~8:00 AM ; Smoke odor ~8:45 AM Autopsy Jugular severed, broken hyoid, blunt force trauma Defensive wounds to hands State addresses mislabeled swab ; Aug 2000 moved to Fawn Dr ; Jan 19 9:30 class, up at 6:30 ; 11:22 fire reported 1:22:30 Chris Melton testimony Busy relationship Planned birthday celebration Alibi accounted for Provided blood, head hair, pubic hair Fully cooperated Oral Swab B Item 2I CODIS hit Apr 30, 2024 Partial major profile to Edrick Faust 2:04:00 Defense motion for mistrial 2:15:00 Defense opening Cannot explain how or when Faust entered home Challenges neighborhood sightings Raises caucasian hair evidence State will call Brenda Sweeney 2:26:00 Defense continues Photos of Melton’s hands Deadbolt locked, door kicked in Neighbor reports white male running 2:48:00 Window evidence Bent screen observed Nothing stolen except laptop 2:54:00 Defense argues investigative failures Substance on Melton’s hands No timeline verification No evidence tying Faust to home 2:59:00 SANE kit DNA in vagina and mouth Melton DNA in anal swab and vagina Timeline inconsistencies highlighted 3:13:00 State evidence discussion 3:14–3:21 Procedural rulings, Rule 419, readback denied 3:32:30 Brenda Sweeney testimony summary Domestic violence history Later statements about Faust 3:37:00 Cedric Jeffries testimony In custody, claims prior knowledge Serving 104-year sentence 3:42:00 Neighbor sketches and identifications 3:49:00 Faust interview 23 years later Told DNA found, denies knowledge Defense contrasts Melton’s inconsistencies 4:12:00 Firefighter testimony Forced entry Stove knobs off Screen tampered with 4:35:25 Cross-examination Deadbolt locked Multiple doors forced Heavy smoke and fire spread Mod Love: Ypcomchic: https://cash.app/$ypcomchic1 Abundance & Clarity 82 - CashApp - $Thankyou59 BigBabyJane - CashApp - $BIgbabyjane1 HappilyAngryLawyer - CashApp - $JRobichaudEsq Julie Horne - CashApp - $hhjulie | Venmo - Julie-Horne-5 SteffJK - CashApp - $SJK811 That Guy Nick - CashApp - $NRW1988 (Not every mod has shared their information) Connect with me on X: https://x.com/KattN0tWilliams Tip Jar: https://tiptopjar.com/kattnotwilliams CashApp: $kattnotwilliams PayPal: https://www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/L4...
