UGHHHHH!!!!! I am so pissed and mad! I live in Clinton right outside of Knoxville and have watched this trial daily for the past week and a half! Cobbins' "family" who testified on his behalf had already gone back to Memphis when the jury reached a verdict, you know the family that really cared and cried and couldn't walk for the tears. BULL! There was NO JUSTICE for those 2 poor kids or their families. They were let down by the jury. My heart ACHED daily for the parents, families and friends of these kids. Channon Christian's daddy rocked back and forth and stared at Cobbins during this trial, his victim's impact statement today brought me to tears. They were not allowed to show these 2 young people in pictures from throughout their lives, only autopsy and crime scene photos were allowed. But, boy, Cobbins' childhood pictures were shown during the sentencing portion, the ones of him being a "normal" human being. He should have been given death and I only pray to God that Davidson, Coleman and Boyd get the needle.
My heart dropped when I heard the sentence. These poor families did not deserve this, it was not justice for Channon and Chris.
That Cobbins' attorney to even remotely allow the doctor that spoke today to say he suffered from PTSD stemming from his horrific childhood is bull. My son spent 2 tours of duty in Iraq, he saw some atrocities, but he isn't out raping, pillaging and murdering. NO JUSTICE AND THEY WERE LET DOWN BY THE JURY!!!
Sorry, I'm off my soapbox now.
