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

805.8 Square foot house.

 

[SuziQ]

In one of the trials didnt they rope off the square footage of the house in the courtroom to show the jury how small it was? That would be key in this trial to show that NO WAY that VC didn't hear anything.

I forgot about that, yeah, they need to do that again.

 

[SuziQ]

Yep, going to measure of the courtroom.

Lavit looks very grumpy right now.

Lavit looks very grumpy right now.

I was just thinking the same thing. Ship = Sank.

 

[SuziQ]

House was actually smaller by 155 SF than what is measured in courtroom. Utility room and porch doesn't reach across to create perfect corners.

 

[SuziQ]

TK had Patricia go all the way to the back and say "stop, stop, no" no problem hearing that.

 

[SuziQ]

Defense cross.

Confirms that Patricia can't confirm weapon that killed Chris.

Confirming that issues with Cobbin's gun would have prevented quick pop pop pop.

The black gun could fire quicker.

 

[SuziQ]

Who asked her to say stop stop no. Does not know what context she was asked to say that.

 

[Muffet]

Demonstrating square footage with ropes.. and using the floorplan to show why the house actually was smaller.

 

[SuziQ]

Did she practice saying those words. Practice one previous time. Did you say it with music or tv? No. Implicating that would muffle voices.

 

[Muffet]

Judge confirms that the rope rectangle was 24 x 40 feet.

 

[SuziQ]

Were done.

 

[Muffet]

Court adjourned.. Attys at bench

Thank you everyone for the updates. I can't wait for 'Nessa to be found guilty.

For easy reference, here's the floorplan:

I am pleased that Vanessa's parents are not bashing her in the public eye. Gary is honest about his feelings but VC's parents did not raise her to be a killer. Her parents are angry at her for whatever her involvement is in this case and association with the bad guys.

I believe most parents do their best and so often kids embarrass/shame us.

I believe in my heart that had Deena answered Channon's phone call she would be alive today. I want to believe she said something out of place that would have alerted her mother. Now that is just the mother in me speaking.

Before anyone beats up on me read this. I drove to Knoxville last August but the trial ended a day before I left MI. I so wanted to look these killers in the face. I detest them. It still hurts when I think of what Channon must have been thinking. Where is my daddy? I am a daddy's girl and my dad is 83 years old and I would still look for him to save me.

I read somewhere VC was offered immunity and she rejected it. Does anyone know anything about this? I will do a search for my answer.

Any trial watchers here have a problem with the same judge for all four trials? One thing is certain her trial is moving at lightening speed.

Best quote from that video from Gary: "If you sleep with the pigs, your gonna start oinkin."
