Welcome Burned out it is a sickening horrific case and a very emotional case to follow. This one has not been as bad as the first 2 maybe it is just that we know everything that was done to these two kids and it gets easier but until JUSTICE is served and all 4 are put away for life I know I will not be happy. Ican not imagine the pain and outrage the families and friends have lived with all this time. JMO

"Under the proof at trial, there is no theory of liability as to Mr. Thomas for the charged offenses, under criminal responsibility, that does not rest on anything other than conjecture, guess, speculation, or a mere possibility," the attorneys wrote. "Moreover, under the proof presented by the state in this case, not even the elements of the lesser included offense of facilitation are met."

Excellent points, and especially regarding the numerous letters to Cobbins in jail. There may not be DNA or much forensic evidence to connect Thomas, but let's pray the jury from Chattanooga will connect all the dots.

Thomas having the small bullets while at Blue's sealed the deal for me. Why have them if you don't have a gun and why would you still have them on after you've witnessed a carjacking/kidnapping? He was a participant in the murders.

i read the motion and imoho the judge will not let thomas go he is as guilty as all the other in fact the use of bleach on channon and the burning of chris's body is how there is no dna of thomas's there there was degraded dna and i do believe that is was thomas this is my understanding of the testimony and i would find him guilty

I still go back to Coleman's interview where she said George & LeMaricus left with Chris & when they came back they had blood on their clothing.

Page 12

http://www.wbir.com/pdf/vanessa_3_2_09.pdf

Of course the jury won't hear any of this. She also says that G was with Lemaricus & Cobbins when the carjacking went down.

I think the George, Lemaricus & Cobbins were the three people in the SUV & Boyd was in his cousin's car.. the one used to get them to Washington Ridge Apartments. Also, Coleman says Cobbins went into the room w/Channon for 15 minutes or so while G & Lemaricus left w/Chris.. That fits w/my theory too - I think that's when Cobbins orally raped Channon.. when the others went to kill Chris. Boyd might not have ever went inside the Chipman Street house after the carjacking, imo.. he could have been guarding Chris outside.

Of course the jury doesn't hear any of this, but that's one of my theories. He is MUCH more involved than even the prosecutors can say -- probably because they don't have the other defendants statements to back up their allegations... all moo.

George Thomas needs to pay for his involvement in this.

Yup. I know. It is so aggravating to me. He is much more involved than what has been presented to this jury. The prosecution had their hands tied as to how much they could allege w/o the witnesses/statements to police to back it up.

Too bad Coleman wasn't straight with LE. She could have been the one to send Cobbins to death row & send Thomas to prison for life, at the very least.

I hope the Christian & Newsom's are holding up okay and I hope they don't read the comments online. It would be disheartening to read the comments from people claiming the state doesn't have the goods and that he's "going to walk".

young hippie
12-07-2009, 09:40 AM
He is saying that he is taking it under advisement, and allow the case to conclude and allowing the jury to decide..It depends on what the jury decides, then he can come back and alter the verdict..eg..If they say 1st degree..he could change it to criminal negligent homicide..just speculating..There are so many charges..they could find many guilty verdicts...but not first degree..which would send him to prison for a very long time...

In a nutshell, he is covering "Assets" for possible appellate reasons..

thanks so much for this i do believe that he is guilty for murder 1 the degraded dna say it all to me and i do think that the jury will feel the same :thumbup:

I don't recall who the judge was asking about the pic's, what news agency they were from but I'm sure it will be in the news today!

i think if you are living in the great USA and want a fair trial then all the evidence needs to be brought in all of it no matter what if you are totally innocent then take the stand if you are guilty then dont take the stand maybe i am wrong and should never be on a jury


i am reading over on wate and it seems that some believe that the judge is the 13th juror and he could acquit Thomas i do not think that will happen i do think thomas is guilty of all the charges but i think if the jury comes back with guilty of m1 the judge will give something less than that jmo

YVW hippie.....I also believe Thomas was not only there..but did participate too.....The problems is that so much of the information we heard in the other cases and what other co-defendents said was NOT ALLOWED in this trial...That to me is unfair when trying to get to the truth of the matter...one reason severing the cases benefits the defendent..

LMS:laugh:


Your statement is so true about how much the defendant benefits from getting tried alone. I have no doubt all the perps in this case would be hanging on death row, including Eric Boyd.. if they were all tried together.

I am really, really, really worried about the verdict. I can't imagine he'd get an outright acquittal, but I do worry that he will get convictions only on the lesser counts & be free again in society eventually.

I wonder if the feds will charge him, if that happens. I sure hope so.

I would likely make a good juror as I understand much of the forensics and science of the evidence..and have a fair understanding of the laws..and could likely come to a reasonable conclusion..And in THIS case I think the "Absence of Evidence does NOT MEAN there is evidence of Absence"..as quoted from Jackson at Phil Spector's trial..LMS:laugh:

i remember when that was said and i do agree with it but for some reason i do think if you have not did anything wrong and have told the truth then you should not be scared to get on the stand and tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth that is just me and like i said maybe i should never be on a jury

http://www.volunteertv.com/home/headlines/78677257.html

Judge Baumgartner says this case is different that the previous trials for Letalvis Cobbins and Lemaricus Davidson because of the lack of any forensic evidence linking Thomas to the crimes.

However, the judge said there's no question Thomas was present at the start of this, and he knew what was going on at least in terms of a planned carjacking, and was aware of events as they unfolded, at least to some extent.
The big question, Baum
gartner said, is whether or not Thomas participated in helping the others in this "criminal enterprise."

The prosecution argued the evidence infers Thomas guilty. While failure to report a crime isn't criminal, prosecutors said, you can draw an inference of guilt from it. The prosecution also said Thomas saw the couple, blindfolded and bound, being brought into the Chipman Street and later saw Chris Newsom being led out. Prosecutors said based Thomas knowledge of the planned carjacking, it's reasonably foreseeable someone could be taken with the car. They also said Thomas' staying at the house showed he intended to participate, and then fled to Kentucky.

The defense argued there's no evidence Thomas actively encouraged the crimes or joined in them. Defense Attorney Thomas Dillard also said the prosecution can't prove Thomas was present during the time frame on Sunday when the medical examiner testified Channon Christian died. Dillard said just seeing the couple being brought into the Chipman Street house isn't enough for criminal responsibility.

There is a huge difference between walking into a scene like this and not reacting...such as Daphne Sutton did..than being involved from the beginning of the planning of jacking thru to the murder of each of them to the fleeing the state along with all the perpretators of the crime ( even IF he did nothing that would leave forensics)....Thus no charges were ever laid against any of those others..Daphne, etc...

There is a huge difference between walking into a scene like this and not reacting...such as Daphne Sutton did..than being involved from the beginning of the planning of jacking thru to the murder of each of them to the fleeing the state along with all the perpretators of the crime ( even IF he did nothing that would leave forensics)....Thus no charges were ever laid against any of those others..Daphne, etc...

young hippie

I will attempt to explain what you asked.

First trying them all together..would be a nightmare..as they would all be pointing fingers at each other..muddingup all the evidence..confusing a jury...

Then not allowing other perp's statements in is because they cannot force them to testify for one, and the defendent then cant cross examine them as to their statements...Again...as usual Defendents are afforded all the justice and fairness in the world..unlike any of the victims...

I hope I didnt broad brush that explanation to thinly...:blushing:

As Lynda said - Thomas has the right to defend himself against accusers and in this case... the accusers are also co-defendants who have nothing to gain by testifying in his case and everything to lose..

So that's why their statements can not come in. The defense wouldn't be able to cross-examine the accusers and rebuff their statements to police. It sucks, because if I was a juror - I'd want to know EVERY single thing alleged in this case, but that's the law.

I am also looking forward to G's attny's attempt to absolve their client's awareness of what went on in that teeny tiny house for days..He was one of at least 6 adults there all jammed into that house with no doors, and no way for him to be unaware of the violence that went down!!

Course he not only knew..but participated too..assisting the "Big Kahuna" in offing Chris at the tracks ( Boyd too) and then assisting LD in his assault and rapes of Channon..even bound and gagged..there is no way she made no noise...

Yes, and davidson tried to give Daphne $....it was a lot of $ according to her. The only place LD could have suddenly come in to a windfall that night, is he took it from Chris & pehaps Channon as well.

I think in Cobbin's Case..that the jury felt at least he got up on the stand, and he did appear to have remorse..and he did come across pitiful.....No such indications for George ( nor LD) in his case..

Dillard, was not very effective in forcing the jury off of what "Fitzy" layed out so clearly..

George will go down..but do think he will get LWOP..simply because they could not prove conclusively he actually did the deed!! JMO of course...

I think some of the crying lying Lefamiy members helped out Cobbins. JMO and the Jury felt he was so afraid of his big Bro LD

If this man walks free,then this jury did not do their job,IMO,Of course in Cobbins trial(also from out of town)they blew it with lwop on his a**

But the beauty in where he is serving his time is a big thank you to Gary.

If you recall, the state corrections had cobbins in a medium security prison until Gary Christian spoke up in the media. then things happened at record speed.

I love Gary!

Ya know...the more I watch Lurch the more I am reminded of something...In a pack of Dogs..there is always an Alfa ( Davidson) and there are always followers ( Lurch) then there are worker bees ( Boyd and Cobbins)..and I do believe that Georgey was a follower..and picked up the scraps of windfall from the more powerful of the pack...Loser..comes to mind..lacking empathy..lacking conscience..lacking backbone....

Leland..drive it all home!! George should be a cooked goose!!

He did a really good job in his closing. I was impressed. He made a lot of great points.

Dillard was a snooze-fest. Someone on wate said that Dillard used to be an ADA and DA.. and judge.. and now he's in private practice & Judge Baum specifically appointed Dillard. I am a little surprised. He didn't have any passion in his closing arguments. It was monotone and didn't seem sincere, imo.

That's what I was talking about earlier -- how there is no way that Lemaricus put Channon in the plastic bag all by himself, but only his prints are on the bags.. Someone had to lift channon while he was keeping the bag open. You know how trashbags fold up and you have to hold them open when putting something big in them.

G is WAY, WAY, WAY more involved than what was presented in this trial. However the prosecution couldn't allege all this w/o the evidence to back it up. I bet it was hard for Price & Fitz to only give out part of the story during closing.. They KNOW he was way more involved than what was let on.
