GUILTY TN - Chris Newsom, 23, & Channon Christian, 21, murdered, Knoxville, 6 Jan 2007 #19

Ugh. Facillitation only brings 15-25 years, and possibility of parole.

They *have* to find her criminally responsible for Channon's murder, at least.

I actually like this reporter. She has good info and is passing the time quite nicely.

18 minutes guys!! I have enjoyed the last week with you all!

I agree. I don't want there to be any chance of parole... and I'm worried that is what some/one of the jurors wants to make sure she gets that chance.

Here are VC's verdict forms. HTH.

Where are counts 1-4, 6, 8, 10, etc? Are there some missing or am I obtuse and not seeing them?

They have it pretty disorganized, don't they.

Indianagirl very helpfully gave us this, though:

If you take Davidson's verdict form, and remove counts 1, 2, 3, 4, 17, and 20, you should end up with Vanessa's verdict form.

You can see that form here:

Prosecutors are seated.

Ready guys? 5 minutes!!

I'm getting nervous!

This atty, Bosche(sp) is a defense atty, and his defense bias has placed him on the wrong side of the Christian and Newsom families big time - especially in the Davidson trial, when he continually defended the obscene tactics of his defense attorneys.

3 minutes....

did I mention this is my first trial since joining WS? You guys seem so much calmer than me lol

Thanks for the verdict form explanation.

I'm on edge! I hope they find her guilty for obvious reasons but also because I honestly think Gary could kill her with his barehands if given the chance. And the way our justice system is; he would be behind bars.

 

[yeknomaras]

in comes VC
