Another jail inmate confirms Tree admission about threat and shooting Rhett August

Jason Losey, who was in custody and a cell mate of  Quentin Wiiliams, who Tyrel Brannon referred to as Q confirmed Brannon's account about Tree bragging he would get out of jail and threatening Brannon.

Losey said that during the half an hour "tier time",  maximum security inmates are allowed to come out of the cell, Tree would say hi to Williams. In June 2014, during one of these chats, Williams asked Tree how his case was going. Losey said Tree's response was, "he thought he had this case beat" and that "they have nothing on him."

Tree went on to say that he got into a fight with "Tyrell over him grabbing a girl on the ass" and that he got "jumped" and came back later and that Tree admitted to shooting Rhett August.

Losey did not know Tree or Brannon or Williams except for being in the same unit in jail although he said he may have seen Williams on the "outside". Losey also testified he had no knowledge of the attempted shooting of Rhett August until Tree told Williams what happened in May 2013.

Losey testified that Tree said, "he should have shot him (Rhett) in the head because he wouldn't be here right now."

Losey also confirmed Brannon's testimony that in between conversing with Williams, Tree argued back and forth with "Panther" aka Brannon. Losey said Tree yelled to Brannon, "If he beat this case, he wasn't going to make the same mistake that he made with Rhett."
