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

[SuziQ]

positional asphyxia, lack of oxygen in can, no strangulation.

And do we have ANY CLUE why these guys left Channon there, evidently still alive... ie never disposed of her? I realize Christopher was strewn like garbage in the open but he was also burned--probably hoping beyond recognition (if they weren't smart enough to know there's still dna/dental records). But leaving Channon in Chipman house was a total nobrainer. And I also don't get going to the despicable length of pouring causic solvents down her throat when nothing could be done re other orifices (sorry) nor was anything done to dispose of her. They are evil AND stupid. :frown: :furious:

Saying she wasn't asphyxiated by strangulation, because there wasn't petechiae in her eyes - makes me think about the story by 'Nessa that Davidson tried to choke her... Cobbins described it more like trying to break her neck, using one arm and the other hand. :no:

 

[SuziQ]

BTW, that's weird that Boyd's interrogation is sealed and Thomas interrogation hasn't been released. What gives? Thanks to everyone trying to find those.

 

[SuziQ]

Blunt force trauma...she was beaten.

I think I remember that one of the jurors was a rape victim and asked to leave.

Surprised (but glad if) she wasn't stricken by defense.

[Muffet]

Oh, man... her parents have to also despise the indignity of these pictures being shared - especially with the courtroom visitors. :no:

 

[SuziQ]

Tremendous damage to buttock and genital area. Blunt force trauma. Extensive hematoma.

Good question. Maybe they got spooked somehow.

 

[SuziQ]

This is not just rape, penis regular rape would not have done this. In the last trial she speculated a table leg was used.

I think that Davidson got spooked by the cops finding the car and Chris so fast and the cops having a presence on the street, so he ran. That's only a guesstimate tho.

So hard to listen to this, I can't imagine the parents. Prayers to them for making it through this testimony AGAIN.

And LD knows EXACTLY what that "object" was... :furious:

[Muffet]

The trauma shows more than just rape - it was trauma inflicted by an object used with great force.

A part of me wonders if that might have come from Vanessa. I hope her prosecutors go there. I want her to fry too.

I read about that, and wondered why they didn't look for it - it surely would have had trace evidence, wouldn't it?

 

[yolorado]

Prosecution staffer fainted, I think.

 

[yolorado]

Recess

 

[SuziQ]

Carpet burn on lower back. Per coleman's statement, Davidson drug her from the bedroom into the living room to give her the bleach treatment and tying her up.

Asking jurors to step out?

 

[yolorado]

Call for a doctor.
