TN - Chris Newsom, 23, & Channon Christian, 21, murdered, Knoxville, 6 Jan 2007 #11

IMO, the grabbing bruises on arm and rug burns on her butt was from Davidson dragging her from the bedroom to the living room.

Vaginal kicking/beating occurred fairly close to Channon's death - ME

 

[Muffet]

Like clawed from perhaps another woman with fingernails?

I think Dr M said before that there was an object used, but I do believe Nessa did it, and inflicted some of the worst damage, and I bet she was the one who used the bleach on her privates and mouth. :no:

Folks, not to be awful. But people in the house must have heard what was happening to Channon, even if they didn't directly participate. She was horribly brutalized.

I don't know how the neighbors didn't hear anything either. Is there any evidence of her being gagged?

Like clawed from perhaps another woman with fingernails?

She's never said that. Bruising on thighs. Wounds on her head. Blunt trauma.

Channon also suffered deep bruises under skin on upper back, head trauma and carpet burns

Burning of Chris' body cloaked any bruising he may have suffered but anal injury severe and evident - ME

ITA, and that's what we can hope will send GT away, even if they don't think he participated or assisted.

For anyone to sit quietly by, minding his own business, while someone was being mauled like this, is evil. Period. :furious:

 

[Muffet]

I hope TK asks her about the bleach this time.

 

[SuziQ]

Talking about the bleach. I wish they could say specifically that it was poured down her throat, into and on her genital areas.

ME - Channon's body "had this unusual chemical smell, couldn't really tell what it was." State suggests bleach

 

[Muffet]

Yes! She's going there. "How would bleach affect DNA?" (It's destructive.)... and then she asked about the smell...

Dr M said she smelled something unusual, chemical? But didn't go into much more detail...

It seems extra important in this case, since it could explain the lack of GT's... although it's odd that LD's remained...

Still, it also shows the brutality, and (forgive me) the likelihood of screams GT couldn't have ignored... :no:

 

[Muffet]

We finally see more than TK's back:

 

[SuziQ]

Once she ran out of oxygen....death took 3-5 minutes.

Thanks for all the great updates today! I'm headed home from work but will check back in when I get home.

I still cannot believe how incredibly brutal and heartless these murders were... how can GT just sit there so EMOTIONLESS??? :furious:

ITA, and that's what we can hope will send GT away, even if they don't think he participated or assisted.

Yes, I agree. In my book anyone who minded their business in that way did facilitate.

TK asking ME if sperm on Channon's lower jeans consistent w/ her bound to chair, raped orally and spitting

ME agrees that is possible scenario, noting sperm also found inside her camisole

 

[yolorado]

Anal injuries probably involved more than penis...in both victims.

 

[SuziQ]

Defense cross.

 

[JulieR]

One nice thing about GT is he doesn't look very jury friendly, I wonder if he has made eye contact with any of them.....he just looks bored out of his mind sitting there.

1 of great tragedies in case - cause Chris raped w/ object and burned we'll never know who did what to him
