GUILTY TN - Chris Newsom, 23, & Channon Christian, 21, murdered, Knoxville, 6 Jan 2007 #17

[darnudes]

Judge and Jury coming back in.

 

[darnudes]

Jennings being asked about his opinion on Colemans culpability. Says as of the 16th no evidence.

 

[darnudes]

Jennings opinion on defendant between 11 - 17 was on her truthfulness, he felt she had lied and was still lying...came out of Grand Jury felt that she lied under oath and immunity was then off the table. He said she lied under oath "we were done".

On cross, prosecutor Price honing in on fact only week into probe when feds wrote no evidence against Coleman #cntrial 3 minutes ago via txt

 

[darnudes]

Jennings didn't believe that Chris was not brought into the house, didn't not believe Boyd was not involved, all the things Coleman was saying, trying to minimize involvement.

Did not see journal for 2 weeks.

After her grand jury testimony, Jennings was convinced that she lied during her grand jury testimony and after that immunity was off the table. He nails this point. Then, he gives specifics of what he thinks she lied about it. The choice to call this witness is going to backfire on the defense.

 

[boxerlovermom]

Jennings emphatically states that Coleman was definitely covering for her boyfriend Cobbins.

 

[darnudes]

Jennings - I have no reason to believe Daphne knew Chris/Channon in the house, does not believe she knew about carjackings.

 

[darnudes]

Jennings - defendant tried to get Stacey for an alibi, Stacey wouldn't do it, as she was brought down for grand jury.

 

[darnudes]

Defense up again - asking if she was under oath and when.

Wants to know what she lied about with the Grand Jury - The defense wants specifics - Jennings points out Cobbins involvement, he goes to say she was protecting...then got cut off.

Jennings states tiny house, no one could not know what was going on.

This little girl is what Lavitt called VC

 

[darnudes]

Lavit - yelling, give us one fact that this "little girl" knew what was going on.

Judge tells Lavit off.

 

[steelergirl]

Didn't Mr. Lavit call Mr. Jennings? Why is he yelling at him? Man he's an idiot.

 

[wvjules]

I <3 David Jennings! You go boy!

I can't believe the Defense is the one that called him as a witness.

 

[steelergirl]

"Your taking the word of 3 killers Mr. Jennings?" Lavit says, Mr. Jennings is getting a little upset (rightfully so) himself. This could get good.

 

[MCDRAW]

Lavit is acting like Jennings is a hostile witness instead of his witness. Wants to know what evidence he has that VC lied

 

[MCDRAW]

Jennings said Grand jury testimony is evidence

 

[MCDRAW]

Now bringing transcript of Grand jury testimony in going line by line...Lavit is just stupid

 

[darnudes]

Jennings given copy of GJ testimony by Coleman to go through line by line to show where Jennings think she lied.

Judge doesn't sound like he is going to allow this.
