Maybe that is something Gary will work on as well? I understand everyone deserves a fair trial but some things need to change!

It seems reasonable to me that if I'm hanging out with a group of people, and they car-jack a couple, tie them up, and rape them, and then eventually cause their death, that if I'm not an active participant in the crime, that I need to make reasonable efforts to notify police and be forthcoming with the truth OR I need to be charged with the maximum penalty for the crimes committed just by virtue of the fact that I opted not to.

I totally agree about the brothers I really dont see DP in this case since LC did not get the DP.

Hi aub it had been over 100 hearing and the trials so they have so many more to go through.

yes they are all DP cases IIRC cog

Mandysmom · #93 11-05-2009, 11:43 AM

I'm thinking along the same lines, that Vanessa and George will be the two hardest to get guilty verdicts on murder charges.

I can't remember much about George's involvement so might have to go back and read.

I do think they should get some time for not contacting the police to get help at least for Channon. I think George might have had something to do with Chris' death though but can't remember if that's true or not.

Didn't the pros ask the families if they would agree to a plea deal for these two? I think they said no, IIRC.

I do the same. I have been skimming around reading here and there but nothing really going on.

Glad to see everyone here! I just received an alert. Going to read and maybe it is something new.

are the alerts that you get specific to the case or alerts of anything that goes on in the state?

Posting this but I'm off to read it now.

I think this has to do with the death threats against the attorneys. Because the paper posted the information on the Poster it hindered the FBI's investigation and there for they may not be able to proceed because they could have covered their tracks.

AMOO just my opinion of this info.

I signed up for google alerts regarding this case. I wanted to be reminded of the trials so I wouldn't miss anything.

But, as you see I can't stay away! LOL

Good idea. The next order of business is the ruling on whether or not G's police interview will be admitted into evidence.. as I stated in a previous post.. that was supposed to be determined like 2 weeks ago.. (I believe October 18th or something?).. but we haven't heard anything since..

We've heard all the interviews besides G's.. I want to hear the tape so bad! If anyone finds out any info on it, please post..

Perhaps not, but they did get the big fish...the ringleader, got the dp. Davidson is the one that set the crimes in motion and the rest of the thugs just followed his lead.

I will post anything I receive if not already linked here. I want to hear his interview as well!

I was trying to find out when Thomas rented those DVD's from the library that were found in the home. Does anyone know on Chipman St.?

Am I understanding this correctly... The death threats that the FBI is investigating came in the form of "anonymous" posters on local news sites in Knoxville?

The FBI is ticked that knoxnews wrote about the subpoena, so now the poster knows they're being investigated.. Is that the gist?

I have to say that when Trant & Eldridge first made the allegations about death threats - I thought they were full of it, but I have witnessed a lot of posts on wbir.com where people have made some pretty shocking posts. I have seen death threats.. I have seen death wishes.. and I have seen someone trying to incite other people into harming Trant & Eldridge... Also, I saw threats against their children.

I do not care for these men, but some of the stuff I read was alarming, not to mention illegal..

ETA - Just found this archived story about.. Apparently Trant & Eldridge were sent letters to their houses and emailed threats.. but also, the FBI is investigating a post that was on knoxnews..

Yes that is correct. I did not see the posts with the threats but have read other posters talking about it and knowing who it was, the nic that is.

Now, since the news released the info apparently the poster was able to cover their tracks and most likely won't be found.

AMOO

How could they go back and cover their tracks?

I hope it's going to be a "go" on Dec. 1st., however, I was counting days for Sept. 21st. for the davidson trial to get underway........ALAS! It didn't start until Oct. 19th.!

I don't know what the holdup is for Vanessa Coleman's trial.

Beats me I am no computer geek but I'm sure it can be done? I don't know how that works really but the FBI is concerned enough to make those comments then I feel it can happen.

AMOO

CourtsideVue · #**111** 11-06-2009, 01:01 PM

What's everyone watching now that Davidson is done and our friend "G" isn't until December? I watched some of "Kehoe" and that was awful.

Is there anything live going on around the country that CNN isn't covering, that is streaming somewhere? I'm bored. lol

Hi,
I am so glad you asked this question because I am bored to all get out! I need a good trial fix or a really good case to get my interest!

I have not followed the Kehoe case but I take it is nothing special?

CourtsideVue · #**113** 11-06-2009, 01:52 PM

Well Kehoe is over, anyway. She was convicted yesterday and her sentence is a mandatory life w/o parole, so ... now there's just nothing else to watch!

<sigh>

It wasn't clear what she meant. Is it the final week for In Session? Or is it Jamie Floyd's last week?

I have a feeling that Insession as we know it will ending at weeks end next week..I have been constantly hearing goodbyes from Ashley, Jamie, and Jack to the regular talking heads...so think they are closing that site..and moving to Atlanta..with all new format?..However..no one has mentioned where that leaves their fanbase?...

Thanks, I just turned on to hear news of the next trial. I guess it will end in some fashion next week.

It will still be interesting to see them do at least one of the Christian-Newsom trials. I tell people about this case and they are horrified, and want to know all about it.

What???? Now I'm nervous! Someone needs to set up a site so we have a place to chat! Pronto!!

I will go insane if I can't chat with all of you!!

wnb · #**120** 11-06-2009, 05:39 PM

I just did a Google search for Tru TV. It seems In Sessions will still be on and will be based in Atlanta instead of New York starting the week after next. Vinnie Politan will return as an anchor along with several new anchors.
