TN - Chris Newsom, 23, & Channon Christian, 21, murdered, Knoxville, 6 Jan 2007 #10

Defense cross. Wow, bringing his laptop to the podium.

 

[Muffet]

Caught these as I heard he was showing Channon's ipod, with "Channon Christian, Love Mom and Dad" (or "we love you") inscribed on the back:

Gary staring a hole in GT as he coldly watches, and Deena ...

 

[SuziQ]

Questioning red skirt. Pointing out written description of where found is incorrect.

Lunch break. One hour.

 

[jnTexas]

defense asking officer about the red mini skirt. Where did you find that? bag says living room. Not my handwriting. Officer states the red mini skirt was actually in the trash bag in the back.
Only question he had. hmm.....now breaking for lunch!!

As cold as GT is, it wouldn't surprise me to find out he is the one who shot Chris. IMO, GT and VC are the coldest of the bunch. They act as if this crime was an everyday activity. Hanging out with friends smoking a blunt, making breakfast and eating it.....nevermind the kid that was just executed then set on fire, and the girl tied up, raped and beaten in the backroom.

Isn't it in Coleman's interrogation that she saw LD and GT leave the house (of course while she was still covering for LC, so of course he wasn't there ). Then when they came back they both had blood all over their shirts and put them in the wash? Also something else was said in either just VC's interrogation or both VC and LC (I'm blanking right now) that LD said that GT had to "prove" himself to LD and so he "took care of" Chris?? Can the others interrogations be used against him in trial? We didn't see that happen in either LC's or LD's trial so I'm thinkin no?

ETA: Boss is leaving me alone today...so had a minute to look it up it was bugging me.
VC's Interrogation: http://www.wbir.com/pdf/vanessa_3_2_09.pdf
Page 10 she starts telling of G and Slim leaving the house, page 12 she talks of the blood stains and throwing the shirts in the washer.
Skip on down to page 13 and she makes the comment of what she overheard: "Lemaricus told him (G) that he was gonna need him to do something so he could trust him. He said, "okay." That's when they left after they had that conversation."

I soooooooooo wish that they could use this in the trial.

OOO Suzi, I know I just don't get it !!! How could anyone be so cold, what happened to their hearts to make them so unfeeling. You know I sit here typing this and I know what the effects of drugs can do to a person, but it is still so unreal. I can't say that drugs are all that have effected these scum bags, because most times once a person comes back and stays off the drugs for a period of time the feelings start to return, but it don't appear any of these people had them to begin with it. The scary part is just think about how many of them are running our streets.

 

[JulieR]

You know I think GT looks the scariest of all of them, there is just no softness about him at all. Cobbins at least cried even if it was fake and Davidson tried to appear school boyish with his glasses and looking away at times, but this guy I think its his eyes they just look so blank like there is nothing in him. I would really love to know his drug use and how long he has been like this, since his mother and aunt are in the court room one would like to think he had a nice family life.

Lunch. KCSO feeds vics families for free. That is 1st. Guilty conscience over blowing off missing person call?

 

[SuziQ]

Yep, Steelgirl. I wish VC was on the witness list in these trials. Her statements would hang them all.

 

[SuziQ]

Julie, ITA. It's creepy.

Court back in session.

Introducing records for the video GT rented.

 

[SuziQ]

Woo Hoo!!!

Waiting in wings is Thomas' girlfriend Stacy Lawson and good 'ole Ethel Freeman, who testified 4 Davidson

 

[SuziQ]

Mr. Schade, KPD Forensics. Civilian senior evidence technician.

 

[SuziQ]

Man, when Ethel gets up there, I'm going to have to resist spitting on my monitor. That crack using, Davidson defending, victim slamming liar.......

I can't stand her.

I wonder how Stacy will handle testifying against her ex bf? And I really wonder if the defense will bring up her writing Davidson in prison, saying she wanted to have sex with him. Akward moment. lol.

CSI might lift prints off guns but KPD's Schade says ATF study found less than 10 percent trys successful

 

[SuziQ]

Schade just identified Davidsons palm prints on trash bags.

 

[jnTexas]

anybody know why VC is not testifying? or why her statements can't be used?

 

[SuziQ]

Schade making the point to have prints left on a garbage bag, significant presser would have to be applied. Locations of palm prints look like Davidson lifted heavy bags.

 

[SuziQ]

anybody know why VC is not testifying? or why her statements can't be used?

Not sure, I think it's because she has her own trial pending.

 

[jnTexas]

lawyer needs gloves on!! he was handling the trash can w/o them.
