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

[William N]

Leland tells judge that was their last witness of the day.

Judge says he didn't know that before they went on break... sort of apologizes to jury that they aren't utilizing the full day, but notes that they did get through 11 witnesses, so it was productive.

Admonishes them to stay away from exposure to outside info about the case through media or phone calls...

Says if someone tries to talk about it, to tell them they can't, and to blame the crudgy old man who won't let them, haha..

Talking about the newspapers he'd furnish, but the Tennesseean doesn't ship to Knoxville.. They can have non-local media, like USA Today, and watch national news.

They can get on their computers, but not online.

Return tomorrow at 9am.

The judge has nothing to worry about if the jury reads USA Today or watches the national news. There won't be anything about this trial from those sources.

At the beginning of every trial, Deena hands out breath mints or something. I'm thinking I hope it's something stronger.
