TN - Chris Newsom, 23, & Channon Christian, 21, murdered, Knoxville, 6 Jan 2007 #16

So she loved the adventure! Doesn't sound like a hostage to me!

 

[darnudes]

This testimony is going to sink Coleman. She wrote about the trip home. She wrote about "adventures"

 

[wvjules]

I was expecting way more than that from the journal!

ETA: although it does conflict with the "hostage" testimony" I was expecting more details of the crime.

I'm now convinced that Sociopath's have a weird connection to heart drawings and symbols, etc. Maybe because they have no clue what having a heart means?

 

[SuziQ]

Not only was she not behaving like a hostage, she enjoyed her experience and loved her life......absolutely diabolical.

 

[darnudes]

She wrote home about a trip with a "crackhead" but she was as cool as hell.

 

[SuziQ]

Lavit on cross. He's pointing out all the other symbols that do not match the letter.

No more questions.

 

[wvjules]

Ok so she didn't write mom's phone number page...what's the big deal? She wrote all of that other stuff.

 

[darnudes]

Not only was she not behaving like a hostage, she enjoyed her experience and loved her life......absolutely diabolical.

Absolutely she was loving the adventure, she loves Rome.

I think someone started crying when they showed her drawing that she loves rome with the hearts all around it.

Defense aren't going there with this guy...

Done today. I want to see Vanessa walk out.

Monday am the ME will testify then the end of the States case.

 

[SuziQ]

Having out of jury conversation about jury instructions. Says they pretty much mirror Davidson instructions.

That entry about the ride home will make sure she does not see the light of day.

Great timing that the jury will have the entire weekend to recall the phrases from the journal. I wish the journal would have been introduced after the ME testified to the horrors that Channon and Chris went through.

I hope so but I am worried that someone on that jury is stuck on Sutton not being charged. I'm afraid they don't get the fact that Sutton never saw Channon. VC even states that they hid Channon in the closet when Daphne came over.

 

[MCDRAW]

Was Chris's DNA found in the house or the SUV? This weekend if I have time I am going to go back and read the other trials. Does anyone know what sentence Thomas got? His DNA wasn't on Channon so I was wondering if he got LWOP.

I worry about that too. Some people never get the concept of criminal responsibility. They just can't accept someone being charged with murder when they didn't pull the trigger so to speak. And IMO, these types are the hardest nuts to crack. They totally get where Vanessa and her parents are coming from....."But I didn't do anything to her sir".
