question, how could he be facing the same charges as the others? i mean for an example: anal penetration? Davidson were charged with that, there's no DNA pertaining to Thomas so why bring up the charges here?

Does anyone remember off the top of their head the makeup of this jury from Chattanooga?
A jury has been seated for George Thomas' trial in the deaths of Channon Christian and Chris Newsom.
Five white women, five white men, one black man, and one black woman made up the jury. However, that one black man on the jury will not actually hear this case, because he has been excused.
http://www.wbir.com/news/breaking/story.aspx?storyid=105172&catid=29
BBM...Its only my feeling, but it seems because he was a party to this crime as a whole, in that he was there, he participated in the kidnapping, murder, rapes etc...He is just as guilty as Cobbins and Davidson ( who's DNA was found)..G. did NOTHING to stop the crime nor help the victims in anyway, and I do think because of his statements, he was the one who actually shot Chris Newsom...
Anyone who participates with a group in felonies, is just as culpible....OK...Legal Eagles here can straighten out my thinking if it is flawed..TYIA

WATE live twitter had a question this is her reply. I wondered the same thing for a long time but then thought of just what she said.
Why was it determind that the murders were not a hate crime?
WATE: Jessie: That's a question that's often asked. It's difficult to prove a hate crime. In this case, there isn't much evidence to prove it. Yes, the defendants are black and the victims are white, but what other evidence is there? Prosecutors (and the families, it should be noted) say this was a crime of opportunity. The suspects were looking for someone to carjack and they happened to find the victims at that moment. Also, it's hard to prove that the defendants are racist when Davidson and Thomas had white girlfriends. When three of the suspects left town, they headed to the home of a white woman.

I personally have nothing against bi-racial dating if that's your thing, but hasn't it been said that black guys consider getting a white (and/or light-skinned for that matter) girlfriend a trophy of sorts? Do we think G had Stacy as a girlfriend because of her personality? Why did she and Daphne hang out with these thugs?

I don't think it was a hate crime against whites in regards to Davidson. Davidson was raised in foster care by two white families. His roommate when he got out of jail, Vinnie Wernimont, was white. His girlfriend was white. Not sure about the motivations of the others.
I do wonder if Boyd's involvement was speared by his hate for whites though. He was a known racist. Didn't like Daphne because he hated whites. He also hates the government & was wearing an anti-government TV shirt when arrested. Forgot the contents of what was written on the shirt though.. but all-in-all, I do not think this was a hate crime on white people.

Yes, I agree... I did wonder about that too, before all that came out in Davidson's trial. It is spewed all online, but I just don't see a lot of evidence to show that, at least in the case of "ringleader" Davidson..

I have no clue I do know Daphne moved in with LD after dating for 2 weeks she prob wanted out of her parents house she had never dated out of her race before meeting LD IIRC she met him at his G/F at that times house but can not remember for sure. Please dont ask for a link. lol

Correct me if I am wrong. The defense is that LeG was around. Knew some of what was happening but was high and didn't participate so he is not guilty.
What did I miss?
I think that is it, he was minding his own biz while people were being tortured, raped and murdered. That's what you do I guess. :ohmy:

FTL are you detached:wink: J/K that is what his lawyer said he was detached, high, and came from a crappy childhood and thought it was not any of his business. I think that sums it up pretty much. He may not get DP but he will get LWOP on that IMO

The defense does not argue very much with what the prosecution says happened. They just want the jury to interpret it differently. To sum up the defense, they are saying that Thomas sat in a corner smoking dope "minding his own business."
This does nothing to refute the idea of criminal responsibility, which is the prosecution case against George Thomas. This was also about the most horrific double murder one can imagine. Will the jury infer that Thomas was an active participant rather than a bystander?
Thanks Roux I thought so I knew it was not brought up in the first trial or made a big deal of but LeD lawyers went with the drug theory.:rolleyes:
Yep, IMO he just let that slip and really didn't intend for it to be a surprise to Mrs. Newsom and provide ammunition for those horrid attys.

I thought I remember reading a long time ago that he did, but I tried googling around and came to the same result you did.. can't find any info. He is definitely the most mysterious out of all the players here.
I found this out about Thomas.

Friend of Cobbins.
Blamed by co-conspirators for shooting Christopher Newsom.
History of robbery charges.
No DNA links to victims.
Accuses carjacking accessory Eric Boyd in killings.

Although the appellate court noted Coleman's case will make legal history if and when she ultimately challenges her treatment at the hands of the two entities, the panel opined her fate at the hands of jury should be penned first.

I think the fact alone that she stayed in that house while all of this happened proves her guilt. She did nothing to help and IMPO she may have participated in the assault on CC.

Day five of the trial of Lemaricus Davidson, accused in the carjacking, torture, rape and slaying of Channon Christian and Chris Newsom, included testimony from Dr. Darinka Mileusnic-Polchan, Knox County Medical Examiner. Graphic photos of the injuries to the victims were shown in the courtroom as Mileusnic-Polchan described the numerous injuries to Christian's body and the manner of her death. Shortly after the details of the autopsy were shown, Karen Manning, an attorney in the DA's office, passed out and court had to take a short recess as she recovered.

gpatterson12: Few people are in courtroom this morning. Thomas' mother and aunt sit impassively listening to charges. What are they thinking? #cntrial

Just got back and they are taking another break. Every time I go and do something and I come back they are on another break.

Now we know who they are. Good to know.
Does Thomas seemed drugged to any of you? Almost like he can barely walk.

Yeah that is how they got the address that one print tech went back and decided to check it and got that print but had to wait until the next day for a second person to check it IIRC but he even drove past the house didn't he?
IIRC, Gary had said they were going to start knocking on doors on Chipman St.
(sorry, I am a few pages behind....been working in the kitchen w/laptop on and listening to testimony.)

This seems to be going pretty fast, in comparison to the first 2 trials. (The def is not asking any questions or very few, which is a help to move things along.)
They may not hold court on Saturday as before.

Has anyone seen the buttons on any family members?

This trial may not be boring to others but for us seasoned veterans of trial watching it is slow.
No buttons. I bet they were warned not to wear them.

No I've not seen them this time, but have seen very little of the parents b/c the cameras hasn't been showing them much.
I did notice, Gary didn't have one on when he was on the stand.

Boy! am I a "veteran trial watcher." I go back to the inception in 1991.
I did learn in the first 2 trials, Judge B. said only immediate family members, were allowed to wear the buttons.
No idea why they're not wearing them this time. Maybe Gary will tell us. :thumbup:

Guess they could be right. I dont see him getting off totally though
WATE: The consensus from people I've talked to is that this one will not last as long because of the lack of direct evidence associated with Thomas

I'm lost. Who is this lady on the stand? She lives across from where Channon's car was found.

Wonder what all those blotches are on GT's face....some may speculate they are from meth usage.
If that's true, why have they not cleared up by now...he's been in jail how long?....3 years.

Did Judge say a Pros. witness didn't show up without an explanation?

Sorry, it wasnt a poster, it was the witness from the TBI forensics..the blond lady who evaluated the shoes..She spoke to the "Distillates" which if not kept in air tight containers, the volatility of it causd them to dissipate..within 7 days...so tests would be negative....
Hope I havent confused you even more..in other words, those shoes could NOT be packaged in paper bags or even plastic for that matter for that reason...
LMS
Oh, okay and THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!
It's the first trial I seen where shoes were kept in tin cans.
