Jurors will begin hearing more testimony Monday in the case of a Jacksonville man convicted of the 2018 murder of his pregnant 16-year-old niece.
Iyana Sawyer meant so much to her family, and they cherish the 16 years they had with her.
Her aunt recalled the anxiety of Sawyer’s disappearance in December 2018, saying they called and texted the teen, who was five months pregnant, for weeks with no response. It’s believed Quiles was the father of Sawyer’s unborn child. Dixson became emotional on the stand as she described Sawyer as “the best big sister” who loved to dance, had a crazy sense of humor, and was ambitious and driven. She talked about the pain of not being able to have a proper homegoing memorial for Sawyer because her remains have never been recovered.
Attorney Gene Nichols, who is not affiliated with the case, said the jury only has to agree on one aggravating factor, but that decision on the aggravating factor must be unanimous. If it is, the jury can then move forward with deciding whether to recommend the death penalty -- and that final vote only has to be 8 to 4.
While Sawyer was sitting in a car in a back part of the property, Quiles tried to strangle her, but when he couldn’t, he shot her in the chest and then used a carpet to wrap her body and put it in a dumpster that he knew would be emptied that day and taken to a landfill, the witnesses said.
