TN - Chris Newsom, 23, & Channon Christian, 21, murdered, Knoxville, 6 Jan 2007 #1

[SuziQ]

Performed rape kit.

Stomach was completely empty. No food in at least six hours.

MOD is homicide. COD Asphixia, mechanical because of bag on head. Positional because she's fetal and crammed in can. Confined space asphixia, from things stuff around her.

Pardon my mispellings!!!

Took 3-5 minutes till death after bag tied around head.

Several bruises on each arm.

Couple of minor bruised on legs.

Upper back area is interesting she says. a cluster of them. Carpet burns on lumbar area. Bruise under scalp. Two areas. Blunt trauma, but wasn't deadly.

Could be from being on floor and head hitting wall.

 

[SuziQ]

ME identifies Channon's striped shirt. Was pulled up against upper chest and shoulder.

Identifies camisole shirt. Pulled up on right side.

 

[SuziQ]

The court should tape his eyelids open and chain him up.

coward won't look.

 

[SuziQ]

So then that proves without a doubt that they knew that she was alive when they put her in that trash can. They all need to burn....seriously. Thanks Suzi.

Sure sounds like it. Burn em.

 

[SuziQ]

Identifying belt that was wrapped around Newsom's ankles twice.

 

[SuziQ]

Identifying Newsome rectal swab.

Identifying rape kit from Channon's autopsy.

 

[SuziQ]

Elaboration of ligatures and what would be involved in handling body, etc indicates involvement of more than one person.

 

[SuziQ]

Defense cross.

 

[SuziQ]

Clarifying that Chris was already dead when body set on fire.

Clarifying fatal injuries. Can't say which order shot. Head shot fatal.

 

[SuziQ]

Could not have been running or walking because ankles tied together with belt.

Confirming Channon TOD. Confronted that her Federal testimoney on TOD was different.

 

[SuziQ]

TOD was an estimate, no precise time.

 

[SuziQ]

Body was stuffed two thirds into five trashbags.

 

[SuziQ]

Was put into trashbag before rigor. She died in the can. Bags were placed over her while alive. Defense keeps pointing out she died in the can...WTH?

Defense emphasizing Chris dead when set on fire

ME - took more than 1 attacker in Channon's death

Jury showing little reax to even most gruesome pics, one lady showed upset at 1st full pic Channon's hogtied body

Steps of death for Channon - struggle to breathe, brain shuts down and organs shut down - takes up to hour: ME

Cobbins covering his face and rocking. Gary hasn't taken his eyes off him

ME: Channon still being savaged hours after abduction thru at least sun afternoon

Gary is looking straight at Cobbins

This was no "simple rape," ME says. Channon savaged, pics chilling

No sign Channon fought attackers , nails intact

Membrane torn in mouth

Coleman claimed Davidson strangled Channon, ME says no

She died with her eyes open

Words simply cannot describe pic of Channon taken out of trash can

Lid off, flash of skin

First pic is trash can in Chipman kitchen

Fizgerald tries to paint story of how Chris bound, clothes removed, raped, shot. Defense blocks. Point made though

 

[SuziQ]

Why is defense pointing out things he shouldn't want the jury hearing? Why put an exclamation to this?

 

[SuziQ]

Sheesh, defense really underlining gory details, why?

 

[tezi]

Thank you SuzieQ and everyone else. I was going to try to watch this, but I have my granddaughter today.

Everyone of these monsters should be put to death. Slowly...JMO

 

[SuziQ]

brb in a minute.

Sounds like he is going for an effective counsel defense. Please don't let that happen. This times TWO is Guilty.

I am not feeling good with this attorney's questions right now he should shut up.

ITA! And add to letting your client plead guilty to the fascilitating charges. A client who yesterday obviously was clueless as to what that meant.
