TN - Chris Newsom, 23, & Channon Christian, 21, murdered, Knoxville, 6 Jan 2007 #14

[SuziQ]

Lavits being a stickler for hearsay is coming to bite him in the butt.

The judge has no idea of relevance to anything here. What is he trying to establish. Do you have any other questions? lololol.

 

[SuziQ]

Gary just got up and left.

No way! I believe that is a first for him.

 

[Muffet]

TK objecting and judge agreeing - defense is asking for hearsay testimony and persistently crossing the line.

 

[Muffet]

No way! I believe that is a first for him.

First time I've ever seen it too. I didn't see whether he was escorted or not. He was pretty obviously struggling to stop himself from throttling that atty.

 

[SuziQ]

Daphney shoving back....you go girl.

Defense done. Jury Question coming up.

 

[Muffet]

Attys at bar to go over jury questions:

 

[SuziQ]

If Davidson had a short fuse or temper, why would she keep going back.

Answer, young, on drugs, thought she was in love, thought he would change.

How did you know Vanessa in bathroom when you did not see her.

Answer, I can't say what I was told.

She's crying, says she's sorry, getting frustrated.

 

[SuziQ]

TK able to clarify that Davidson told her Vanessa was in bathroom.

Break.

 

[Muffet]

Daphne breaks down:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Judge tells her very, very fatherly and sympatheticallly, that she can go now... and says let's all take a well deserved break.

 

[SuziQ]

Channon's brother Chase is there today.

 

[SuziQ]

Judge talking to lavits about US attorneys office regarding immunity testimony. Dang, sound cut off.

Sutton turns on tears - "I'm just getting frustrated

 

[Muffet]

lmao - I have never seen Judge B come out of his area, but he came out here and gave it to the def atty big time!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

[steelergirl]

Man...that got ugly. That defense attorney is ridiculous.

 

[SuziQ]

Jody Long on the stand. She drove the crew back to KY. Currently in custody, and druggie. Defense will rip her apart.

 

[SuziQ]

lmao - I have never seen Judge B come out of his area, but he came out here and gave it to the def atty big time!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If the judge had not put the kabosh on this, Lavits would have gone on forever. This was more like a depo where the rules are more lax. Sheesh.

 

[SuziQ]

Jail is good for Jody. She looks and sounds the best I've seen her yet.

 

[SuziQ]

Defense doesn't want jury to know that Vanessa was hanging out with and doing drugs with others in the car.

 

[SuziQ]

Pros says relevant supposedly under duress and held hostage, free to party though.

 

[SuziQ]

Judge says you can ask Vanessa about that on the stand.
