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

Showing photo of wound to head that shows the stellate features... tearing, etc... showing that the muzzle was against the head or the sweatshirt..

they couldnt use sweathirt to find trace evidence because too badly charred...

Neutrophils - first response, white blood cells to injury or disease.. they leave vessels, migrate into tissue to confine injury or damage or infection and start cleanup process...

We see these mostly in Day 1 - other cells are there day 2.. that's how they can tell timelines of injuries...

TK - were there neutrophils in these injuries? Yes - it looks like he died 1 - 2 hours after injuries occured.

Break

Sudden break. Don't know what happened but I'd hate to be sitting there looking at pictures.

jamiescoop: ME - gun most likely placed against back of Chris' head to deliver killshot #cntrial
jamiescoop: Chris also blindfolded. If ur gonna kill him why go to such lengths to cover his eyes?

jamiescoop: One young female juror has hand to her mouth during autopsy photos #cntrial

jamiescoop: Chris' belt wrapped twice round ankles. Also sheet tied round them, arms b/h back, gagged w/ sock, head covered #cntrial

10 minute break.

DH will be here soon - so I'll be interrupted from continuing for awhile - not long, hopefully.

The testimony that Chris died 1-2 hours after his rape exposes more of Davidson's lies. He said they took "dude" away immedately after they arrived; presumable to be executed. That obvioulsy didnt happen. However, even if it did, it meant that he was there with Channon for 1-2 hours, which he says didnt happen. The sheer volume of lies being told and exposed has to tell the jury that Slim was fully involved in all of this.

Mr Newsome looks like he has ear buds connected to something. Might be listening to something other than the testimony.

 

[lizzybeth]

I noticed that during the Cobbins' trial too. I think he puts them in when the ME is testifying. I can't blame him.

I think that he has one of those devices that you can hear people with. It's like a speaker that they advertise on TV. He has it on almost all the time and I noticed that he had it on when there was testimony that wasn't something that he would have a problem with hearing. For example, he had it on when that guy was on the stand and testified about taking the marijuana out of Chris' truck. Nothing about that testimony was something that he wouldn't want to hear so I'm assuming it is a listening device for hard of hearing people.

 

[shotzie]

Do we have a timeline anywhere here??? trying to figure out the days...

an I think the Dr. was there when they found Channon though right?

watching this is so sad..THOSE SOB's should all get the DP.:furious:

arrot:

She's so good. She makes it all very understandable withOUT sounding at all condesening or superior.

 

[Jayde3200]

As far as researching anything regarding George "G" Thomas, it seems that his statements and interrogation have been supressed due to his attorneys wanted to have them thrown out.

 

[yolorado]

Blue bandana in Chris's mouth for gag similar to blue bandana on Chipman. I've heard that Davidson's a gang guy who didn't like Daphne wearing red because of a gang associate. Here bloods gang color is BLUE and rival crips is red. (I think.) Anyone know what Davidson's possible gang membership was to have been...and may still be. Is e a blood. Could this have been some sort of gang initiation?
