Murders of Channon Christian and Christopher Newsom

Hugh Christopher Newsom, Jr., 23, and Channon Gail Christian, 21, were a couple from Knoxville, Tennessee. According to a Tennessee grand jury, they were both raped and murdered after being kidnapped early on the morning of January 7, 2007. Their vehicle had been carjacked.[1][2] Five suspects have been arrested and charged in the case.[3] The grand jury indicted four of the suspects on counts of murder, robbery, kidnapping, rape and theft, while one final suspect has already been convicted of federal charges as accessory after the fact to carjacking

Judge asks for truthfulness from potential jurors
Concern is some might lie to be on torture-slaying jury

By Jamie Satterfield
Posted September 2, 2009 at midnight

Most judges expect to hear a fib or two from people hoping to get out of jury duty, but a judge warned Knox Countians on Tuesday not to lie to get on the panel that will decide torture slaying alleged ringleader Lemaricus Davidson's fate.

"Be honest with yourself, and be honest with us," Criminal Court Judge Richard Baumgartner told a room full of residents summoned for jury orientation in Davidson's upcoming trial. "Put down (on questionnaires) what you think, not what you think we want to hear or what you think will get you off or on this case."

I think they have enough DNA evidence never mind the fingerprints, but fingerprint evidence is not often challenged, there is a case from Scotland which is often cited where a policewomans print was found at a crime scene even though she never went into the scene, and the states experts all said the print was hers, when it was examined further it was not hers,

This is an interesting article stating that DNA from skin cells was found on some pieces of evidence - that they have not been able to match up.

Daphe Sutton & Davidson could not be ruled out as the sources of the DNA. I wonder if the DNA is an incomplete profile - that's why they're unable to rule Sutton & Davidson out.

The jury is made up of seven women and five men. Eleven of them are white. One is a black man.

Six alternates, three white men and three white women, were also chosen for the jury in the racially-charged case.

The defense was hoping for more black jurors, basing that choice on the stereotyped belief that many African Americans are against the death penalty.

6 News legal expert Greg Isaacs said the defense isn't surprised with the jury makeup.

"If you wanted and fought to have a jury from Knox County, you know from the beginning that your choices are limited," said Isaacs.

The judge said the jurors will be sequestered the night before opening arguments, which are due to start on October 19. They have a wait of a little more than two weeks.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT) -- Lemaricus Davidson's defense attorneys have received death threats aimed at themselves and their families, Volunteer TV's Gordon Boyd reports from the courthouse.

Attorneys were apparently threatened by phone and email. Those making the threats supposedly questioned why someone would defend someone accused of such a violent crime.
*snip*

Also Friday, Judge Richard Baumgartner ruled that DNA evidence from two unidentified male individuals can be used during Davidson's trial. The questionable DNA does not match any of the four men charged in connection with this case, nor does it match Newsom.

KNOXVILLE - Suggestions of drug abuse by the victims of a torture slaying continued this morning to be a cross-examination theme for alleged ringleader Lemaricus Davidson's defense team.

Defense attorney David Eldridge elicited testimony today in Knox County Criminal Court from Knoxville Police Department fingerprint expert Dan Crenshaw that an Adderall pill was mixed in with an anxiety disorder drug prescribed to victim Channon Christian.

Judge Richard Baumgartner ruled that DNA evidence from semen belonging to two unidentified men or boys can be used during Davidson's trial. The questionable DNA does not match any of the four men -- Lemaricus Davidson, Letalvis Cobbins, George Thomas and Eric Boyd -- charged or convicted in this case, nor does it match Newsom.

"I want to know whose DNA it is," says Gary Christian, Channon's father.

"I want 'em brought in here and put on trial period. And I don't care if it takes six months or six years. I want 'em in here facing a needle."

Appeal could delay Coleman's trial
Lawyers want court ruling on immunity issue

Torture-slaying suspect Vanessa Coleman is officially back in the prosecutorial lineup, but it is a trial date written in pencil lest the state's highest court opts to snatch up the case first.

Defense attorney Russell Greene, who is representing Coleman along with Kentucky attorney Theodore Lavit, confirmed last week that the pair will ask the Tennessee Supreme Court to take a look at an immunity issue a lower appellate court refused to consider before Coleman is tried.

Legal Resources for the State of Tennessee

I was researching: "Release Eligibility Status'" for someone who is sentenced to "life without parole" due to seeing comments about Cobbins and Thomas being able to get out of jail at some point in there life and this is what I found about that.

Just a tidbit on LeV:

"Prosecutors earlier offered Coleman a plea bargain of a sentence of life in prison with the possibility of parole, in exchange for a guilty plea and her thorough, "truthful" testimony at her co-defendants’ trials; she rejected the offer. Prosecutors have offered no plea bargains to Coleman’s co-defendants."

"Judge approves more DNA testing in Christian, Newsom torture-slaying case". Prosecution to test more of the torn bedsheet strips used for bindings, as well as the dog leash. LeV's prints were on a corner of one of the other bindings with some blood.
