DEFENSE on CLOSING ARGUMENTS now. #BoydTrial #WATE

Frazier says it was a "disgusting and despicable act." "These are the acts of Davidson, Cobbins, Thomas and Coleman." #boydtrial


Cole Sullivan‏Verified account @cole_sull 9h9 hours ago
Frazier says the state has spent millions on testing all the DNA evidence. He is going through all the DNA evidence...pointing out none belongs to Eric Boyd. #boydtrial


Cole Sullivan‏Verified account @cole_sull 9h9 hours ago
Frazier says the state has proved the case beyond a reasonable doubt against Davidson, Coleman, Cobbins and Thomas. But not Eric Boyd.


Cole Sullivan‏Verified account @cole_sull 9h9 hours ago
"The state's case is a lot of speculation. They have a narrative that they have come up with about what happened." #Boydtrial

Defense: "The state's case is a lot of speculation." #WATE #BoydTrial

"Have we really heard proof to that?" On whether Boyd brought the group anywhere. #BoydTrial #WATE


Madisen Keavy‏Verified account @madisenkeavy 9h9 hours ago
Defense: Taking jurors back 12 years, says that the state made the decision that they were not going to charge Eric Boyd. "Because they looked at the weight of the evidence they had against them..." #BoydTrial #WATE


Cole Sullivan‏Verified account @cole_sull 9h9 hours ago
Frazier is now reading a transcript from Thomas' first statement to police, saying investigators planted the seed of this narrative then. #boydtrial

"The community wanted them dead" on what it was like 12 years ago. #BoydTrial #WATE

"Last year, the state made a devil's bargain" with George Thomas to testify. #BoydTrial #WATE


Cole Sullivan‏Verified account @cole_sull 9h9 hours ago
Frazier says 12 years ago the state made the decision not to charge Eric Boyd based on the weight of the evidence. "Then last year the state made a devils bargain with George Thomas." #boydtrial




Madisen Keavy‏Verified account @madisenkeavy 9h9 hours ago
"We've all heard his testimony, we've all heard what he had to say. Certainly Mr. Thomas will get the benefit of his bargain." #BoydTrial #WATE


Madisen Keavy‏Verified account @madisenkeavy 9h9 hours ago
Defense: Thomas is the same man who said "*advertiser censored** that white girl", during his testimony he said that phrase was "taken out of context." #BoydTrial #WATE


Cole Sullivan‏Verified account @cole_sull 9h9 hours ago
Frazier is now pointing out that Jenkins just saw four silhouettes in the car, not the features. Raising the doubt of whether he could be sure there were four black men in the car. #boydtrial


Cole Sullivan‏Verified account @cole_sull 9h9 hours ago
Frazier is counting doubt that Jenkins even saw Boyd's car. Says it was 9 months later when Jenkins first told investigators about it. Could he be mistaken? #boydtrial


Cole Sullivan‏Verified account @cole_sull 9h9 hours ago
Frazier says Thomas is loyal to Cobbins. "He is so loyal to him that he doesn't implicate Cobbins in the crimes that took place at 2316 Chipman Street." Alleging Thomas lied to protect his friend, casting the blame on Boyd. #boydtrial

 

[YESorNO]

Cole Sullivan‏Verified account @cole_sull 9h9 hours ago
Now going over where Thomas' statements conflict, over and over again. #boydtrial


Cole Sullivan‏Verified account @cole_sull 9h9 hours ago
"Does it make any sense to anybody sitting in here that that man could've been at that tiny little house while Channon was being brutalized and raped that he didn't see anything? That he didn't hear anything? [...] It just doesn't make any sense." #boydtrial


Cole Sullivan‏Verified account @cole_sull 9h9 hours ago
Frazier says he's not one to spend a lot of time walking through jury instructions. But he is talking about the specifics when it comes to Thomas. #boydtrial


Cole Sullivan‏Verified account @cole_sull 8h8 hours ago
Frazier is talking about the odds that some of the DNA evidence isn't any of the suspects. He says it's a much better odds than playing the lottery. Which seems a low bar. #boydtrial


Madisen Keavy‏Verified account @madisenkeavy 9h9 hours ago
Defense is trying to discredit Thomas as a witness in the eyes of jury. #BoydTrial #WATE


Madisen Keavy‏Verified account @madisenkeavy 9h9 hours ago
Defense started doing that in opening arguments too, first time we heard about "devil's bargain" that he believes took place with Thomas' 50 year sentence served at 85% #BoydTrial #WATE


Madisen Keavy‏Verified account @madisenkeavy 9h9 hours ago
Defense: "What do we know about Mr. Thomas?" Defense is reiterating that Thomas and Letalvis Cobbins are friends, he suggested and asked Thomas point blank during cross examination if he and Cobbins got together to implicate Eric Boyd -- Thomas said no. #BoydTrial #WATE


Madisen Keavy‏Verified account @madisenkeavy 9h9 hours ago
Defense: "He's loyal to Letalvis..." #BoydTrial #WATE


Cole Sullivan‏Verified account @cole_sull 8h8 hours ago
Now Frazier is trying to negate the "natural reaction" of anger in the jury. He says the other supects have "been rightfully convicted for their parts in the crimes." "We can't let the anger lead us to a decision that we otherwise might regret." #boydtrial


Cole Sullivan‏Verified account @cole_sull 8h8 hours ago
"We're asking you to hold the state to its burden. I'm asking you to find Eric Boyd not guilty" Frazier concludes. Fitzgerald gets back up to rebut. #boydtrial

 

[YESorNO]

Cole Sullivan‏Verified account @cole_sull 8h8 hours ago
Frazier says the state has proven its case beyond a reasonable doubt, giving all the evidence. "We're not basing this case only on Mr. Thomas' testimony. It's everybody's testimony that corroborates it," she says. #boydtrial


Cole Sullivan‏Verified account @cole_sull 8h8 hours ago
"Mr. Boyd was part of it," Fitzgerald says. "It does not matter whose prints were on the trashbag [...] Mr. Davidson's prints are the same as all of the others." "So yes, it's taken 12 years for this moment. It's taken 12 years because we want to do it right." #boydtrial

Fitzgerald is done. Now we're getting jury instructions read aloud. #boydtrial

The families of Channon and Chris also have copies. They’re definitely following along too. #boydtrial


Madisen Keavy‏Verified account @madisenkeavy 7h7 hours ago
"You are the exclusive judges of the credibility of witnesses." Judge McGee tells the jurors as part of these instructions. That's important, in all cases, but has been addressed by the defense throughout the week relating to George Thomas specifically. #BoydTrial #WATE

This case turns my stomach still to this day. I lived in the Knoxville area at the time. Days prior to this, my now ex husband and I had been in the same area this couple was. It’s downtown and the city was trying to revitalize that area.

Road construction was underway, traffic was blocked off, new street lights, fenced and patrolled parking areas, boutiques were new. The Spaghetti Factory hadn’t been open long and we all wanted to try it. We were with 2 other couples. There was a heavy police presence. Even with all that, I remember we all felt an uncomfortableness.

After dinner, none of us wanted to walk around. Then this crime occurred like 1 street over. I remember my ex husband saying “We won’t be going back there. I didn’t feel safe.” This from a 6’ 4” man built like a body builder.

We had to turn the TV channel the details were so chilling. The entire community hurt for this young couple. The brutality of the crime was unbelievable then as it is now. Blessings to their family. So much pain and heartache still.

LIST: Here's what Eric Boyd is charged with in deaths of Channon Christian & Chris Newsom (with clip)

August 12, 2019

"KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — ...The individual charges can be complicated to read, but are listed that way because committing one crime during the perpetration of another can be an enhancing factor when it comes to sentencing. Using a weapon during a crime can also be an enhancing factor.

IMO. Not one of these defendants are INNOCENT.
It was an "Us, Against Them" mentality.
It was their "gang" against two completely innocent people.
ALL of them egged on each other to do the most depraved things that they could think of to Channon and Chris.
Well, before they made a nice breakfast to recuperate from the frenzied previous night of car jacking, kidnapping, raping, torturing, burning and smothering completely innocents who were in the wrong place at the wrong time.
In my opinion, the harshest laws the United States has, which is the death penalty. Should apply to each and every single one of these monsters.

Okay it’s a little confusing, but the jury has a question about especially aggravated robbery charge. They want to know whether it can be especially aggravated robbery if the victim was not harmed during the robbery but was harmed in the murdwrs and rape afterward #boydtrial

The jury looks more somber now. They’ve been deliberating for six hours. #boydtrial


Madisen Keavy‏Verified account @madisenkeavy 10m10 minutes ago
Basically the jury is asking if bodily injury happened as a result of the robbery but not specifically during the robbery, does it count as part of that charge? #BoydTrial


Madisen Keavy‏Verified account @madisenkeavy 8m8 minutes ago
Judge McGee: for especially aggravated robbery, if we don’t believe she was harmed during the carjacking but was hurt later does it count as bodily injury during the robbery? #BoydTrial


Cole Sullivan‏Verified account @cole_sull 9m9 minutes ago
Jude says if the harm happened after all the property was taken, than it is not especially aggravated robbery.
For reference, that’s count 20 of 36 in the indictment. #boydtrial

Cole Sullivan‏Verified account @cole_sull 1h1 hour ago
Some analysis: If the jury is already on count 20, they’ve likely decided on the murder charges. They still have rape charges to go, but my money is on a verdict today.
That said, this is like trying to read the tea leaves and I’m no expert. #boydtrial
