Thanks to all you guys for keeping up with this case. I just can't stomach any of it, makes me sick and full of rage.

I really feel for the poor parents and families having to relive this so many times.

 

[Alice253]

Me too mocity! I just shot off an email to Channel 10 and asked if they would be live streaming and if they weren't did they know of anyone who was. Hopefully I will hear back soon.

Heard back from Channel 10. They do plan to stream the Boyd trial on their app and on wbir.com.

I remember reading about this heinous crime ages ago and I still think about it to this day. I need to get caught up, because I thought the trials were all done.

I thought so too. Someone have a quick update? I'll move this back to TRIALS.

Eric Boyd has been long suspected of being more involved in their torture, rape and murders. In 2008 he was convicted of helping hide ringleader Lemaricus Davidson after the killings but that was it. I am not sure if there is new evidence or why they finally (11 years later?) were able to file charages against him. Currently he is serving an 18 year sentence for hiding the head piece of crap.

JerseyGirl, this is a pretty good article recapping events.
Eric Boyd now charged with murder of Channon Christian, Chris Newsom

I feel really bad whenever I see and hear Channon Christian's father. He is such a tortured soul. It's obvious he relives the details of what happened to his lovely daughter constantly, even after all these years. He is so full of anger and I wish it was legal to turn him loose on those animals that defiled and murdered his daughter.

He was so full of anger.

He turned back to his faith and he actually goes around to churches in the Knoxville area to speak about what happened to Channon and how his faith helped him heal after years of being angry etc. About what happened to his daughter.
