SAVANNAH, Ga. (WSAV) – Witness testimony continued Thursday in the Leilani Simon murder trial. Simon is accused of killing her 20-month-old son, Quinton, in October 2022. She allegedly beat him to death and threw away his body in a dumpster. Police later found his body in a landfill. It was an eventful day in the courtroom with the jury hearing from seven witnesses. The day started with the cross-examination of Danny Youngkin, Leilani Simon's boyfriend at the time. The jury also heard from some of Leilani Simon's acquaintances, brother and former friends, one who said she conducted a seance and spoke with Quinton's ghost. Full coverage: Leilani Simon murder trial Meanwhile, text messages that were previously denied by Judge Tammy Stokes were admitted into evidence. The explicit messages are between Leilani Simon and Craig, a drug dealer she slept with, according to the state. "It's a little salacious, but it's the facts of the case, the case that she created," Assistant U.S. Attorney Tim Dean said. "I mean, I didn't write these messages. I didn't go visit Craig. This is the evidence." Friday, day five of the trial, is expected to continue with more witness testimony. The day is expected to begin again at 9 a.m. WSAV will bring you complete coverage.

And he told me, 'She hit me in the head really hard.' I said, 'OK, what else?' I said, 'Did you get any candy?' Thinking maybe he got into drugs or something. And he said, 'No.' She says she asked Quinton where he was and he showed her his lifeless body and the star of the church next to the landfill where he was later found.
