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.

N/k :furious: the whole thing is just beyond the pale suzi, if nothing else VC knows that Channon is blindfolded and tied up being held against her will back in the bedroom while Chris is being held, then led to his death, at gunpoint--and she's telling detective, "Well then next I changed into my night clothes..." like la-di-da-di-DAH! I half expected her to say she served hot cocoa w marshmallows OMG WTH GMAB WHO DOES THIS WHILE PEOPLE ARE BEING TORTURED IN THE SAME HOUSE???!!!

:banghead:

Thankfully I've come to realize these type of people have no reasoning or compassion, and that being a normal reasonable person I will never understand the mind of someone who could do this.

Mary looks pretty in brown.

Chirs sold his motorcycle after he began dating Channon. He loved his motorcycle. Mary asked him why he sold it. He told I want to live.

What an awesome young man!!

It is so heartbreaking to see these parents have to enure giving this testimony four or five times Unbearable enough to go thru it once but by trying them separately they have to repeatedly dredge up such painful memories of the last agonizing days searching and learning of their child's death, discovering their body etc. I guess no one really considered that when they determined to have defendants tried separately, I still don't understand the reason for that... too many loopholes and too much wiggle room for some crimes to go unpunished IMO.

Heartbreaking to hear her talk about being notified that Chris' body was identified.

TK, making point that Chris had nothing to do with and didn't know these thugs whatsoever.

Mary Newsom talking about how Chris would have helped Channon first, was the kind of person who always thought of his friends and others before himself.

Deena Christian says she used to have two wonderful children and husband, now has only a son and husband.

Recalls when Channon was accepted into Univ of Tenn, majoring in sociology, and wanted to do work helping children.
