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

[SuziQ]

Daphne doesn't sound good at all does she? Is she just sick or is she using again?? (morning Suzi!)

Good morning! ITA. I fear the defense will tear her apart.

 

[Chicken Hawk]

Morning guys! Thanks again SuziQ for covering the trial.

I'm sure defense will try and show that Sutton was afraid, so VC was too. But VC didn't go to police once she was away from them. Police offered her witness protection (I can't remember if she did this for a few days or not), anyway she decided she wasn't going to help police. AND she was there the whole time Channon was. Wasn't she alone with Channon at some point? Can't remember, still early and my caffeine hasn't kicked in yet.

Daphne says Davidson never mean etc to Ms. Coleman.

Defense cross.

 

[SuziQ]

Defense asking what association pill popping Sonic crew has with Davidson. He had hit on Rhonda Dukes. They all knew him through Daphne and have been to the house.

 

[steelergirl]

VC was alone with Channon at least once Chicken Hawk your right. She had more than one opportunity to get help for them and she chose not too, which for me is what makes her just as guilty if not more than the guys.

What is the defense trying to get at with Daphne's friends from HS and who LD was interested in? What does that have to do with anything?

 

[SuziQ]

Here we go. Asking about Davidson assaulting her. Never sought medical attention. Never to her knowledge put his hands on her girlfriends.

Good morning, everyone. Not nearly caught up, and husband is home all day, so it will be spotty for me today. :sheesh:

Thank you so much for the updates, SuziQ!

 

[Muffet]

Whoa... that defense atty is a jerk!

 

[SuziQ]

Oh boy!!!! Ripping Daphne for saying she was told Vanessa had warrants in Kentucky and couldn't go back that's why she moved to Knoxville. What a jerk.

Defense skimmed over violence, especially choking, by Davidson

 

[SuziQ]

Defense trying to dispute that Kentucky crew had moved to Knoxville permanently. Defense steps out of line, judge admonishes him, then defense quietly says, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. This guy is a creep.

I knew he was going to rip her apart.

[SuziQ]

What's funny, for temper tantrum that the defense threw, he never clarified for the jury that in fact, Vanessa did not have warrants in KY.

 

[steelergirl]

Daphne is holding her own tho, good for her. This defense attorney needs to go and get a refresher course he just keeps getting yelled at by the judge.

 

[SuziQ]

Defense getting into Daphne's grand jury testimony.

Not sure why the attorney is going into the floral fabric so much. IMO, has nothing to do with Coleman being held hostage as they claim.

Isn't Coleman's DNA on those sheets?

 

[SuziQ]

They are picking on points that have nothing to do with Colemans role. Waste of time. Just being mean and argumentative with the witnesses. Did that yesterday with that whole it's a curtain, no it's a sheet debate.

This is key cause Coleman's DNA on bedding. Defense will say it's there cause she slept on it w/ Cobbins

Sutton says no sheets on air mat where Cobbins, Coleman slept. Told grand jury floral comforter on it

Lavit challenging Sutton on claim Coleman had pending assault charge. Actually it was Stacy Lawson, not Coleman

 

[SuziQ]

Defense sarcastically tells Daphne, take a drink of water and answer.

 

[SuziQ]

I hate how this attorney yells when reading grand jury statements.
