See the words hate crime anywhere?
Channon Christian moved from Louisiana to Tennessee with her family in 1997. She was a graduate of Farragut High School and a senior majoring in sociology at the University of Tennessee. On January 12, 2007, her family released a statement to thank the Knoxville community “for all their prayers and everything.” A candlelight vigil was held on the university campus January 25, 2007 in her honor. In 2008, a Golf Tournament and Memorial Foundation were established in Channon Christian’s memory to provide a scholarship for a Farragut High School Senior to attend the University of Tennessee.[5]
Newsom, a former baseball player for the Halls High School Red Devils, graduated in 2002. He was interred at Woodhaven Memorial Gardens. A little-league baseball tournament in Newsom’s honor was held at the Halls Community Park in 2008 and 2009. A memorial scholarship is given annually to a graduating Halls High baseball player.[5]
[edit]Crime
According to news reports, Christian and Newsom had gone on a date at a local restaurant on Saturday, January 6, 2007, but did not return home. During their night out, the couple was carjacked, bound and blindfolded by three black males, and “taken back to Lemaricus Devall ‘Slim’ Davidson’s rented house on Chipman Street.”[6]
Christian’s parents found her abandoned Toyota 4-Runner two blocks away from the Chipman Street house the following Monday with the help of her mobile phone provider. An envelope recovered from the vehicle yielded fingerprint evidence that led police to Lemaricus Davidson and 2316 Chipman Street. When police went to the address on Tuesday, January 9, they found the home unoccupied and Christian’s body in a trash can in the kitchen.
According to the testimony of the Knox County Acting Medical Examiner Dr. Darinka Mileusnic-Polchan at the subsequent trial of Eric Boyd, Newsom was repeatedly sodomized with an object and then blindfolded, gagged, arms and feet bound and his head covered. Barefoot, he was either led or dragged outside the house to a set of nearby railroad tracks. He was shot in the back of the head, the neck, and the back, and his body then set on fire.
Channon’s death came after hours of sexual torture, medical examiner Mileusnic-Polchan testified. Channon suffered horrific injuries to her vagina, anus and mouth. She was not only raped but savaged with “an object,” possibly a broken chair leg, the doctor testified. She was beaten in the head. Some type of chemical was poured down her throat, and her body, including her bleeding and battered genital area, likely scrubbed with the same solution - all while Channon was alive, the forensic expert said. She was then “hog-tied,” with curtains and strips of bedding, her face covered tightly with a small trash bag and her body stashed inside five large trash bags before being placed inside a large trash can and covered with sheets. Channon died slowly, suffocating, the medical examiner said.[7]
[edit]Suspects and indictments
The four indicted were:
George Geovonni “Detroit” Thomas, 24, faced a total of 46 charges. Thomas was indicted on 16 counts of felony murder growing out of the rape, robbery, kidnapping, and theft of Christian and Newsom, 2 counts of premeditated murder, 2 counts of especially aggravated robbery, 4 counts of especially aggravated kidnapping, 20 counts of aggravated rape, and 2 counts of theft.
Letalvis “Rome” Cobbins, 28, (b. December 20, 1982) faced the same 46 charges as Thomas. He has also been charged with assaulting a correctional officer while incarcerated pending trial. Previously in 2003, Cobbins was convicted of third-degree attempted robbery in New York state. He and Davidson are brothers. Cobbins was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
Lemaricus Devall “Slim” Davidson, 30, (b. June 13, 1981) faced the same 46 charges as Thomas. Previously Davidson had just completed serving a five-year sentence in Tennessee on a previous felony conviction for carjacking and aggravated robbery on August 5, 2006.
Vanessa Coleman, 18, was arrested by the Lebanon Police Department in Lebanon, Kentucky. She faces 40 Tennessee state charges. Coleman was indicted on 12 counts of felony murder growing out of the rape, robbery, kidnapping, and theft of Christian and Newsom, 1 count of premeditated murder (of Christian only), 1 count of especially aggravated robbery (of Newsom only), 4 counts of especially aggravated kidnapping, 20 counts of aggravated rape, and 2 counts of theft.[8] She was convicted and sentenced to 53 years in prison on July 30, 2010. She described her time in Knoxville as “an adventure.”[3]
In each indictment, the large number of rape counts were included to provide a range of options for prosecutors, not to reflect the number of rapes which actually occurred.[9]
Eric DeWayne “E” Boyd, 34, was arrested in connection with the fatal carjacking, though not indicted by the Knox County grand jury. Boyd faced federal charges in United States district court as an accessory after the fact for helping the suspects evade the police. Later, Boyd was also accused by Thomas and Cobbins of rape and murder, and a search warrant was obtained for his DNA.[10] The accusations by Thomas and Cobbins did not result in state charges against Boyd,[11] but he is serving 18 years in federal prison on his conviction as an accessory to the carjacking.[3]
Democrats - Know them by their sheets, projections and bigotry.
I don't want to "connect and share" I just want to read what the clowns are saying the Republicans lied about.
Hm. A Facefriend of mine posted something from the site the other day saying that Republicans had voted against a bill that would protect people from having prospective employers ask for their Facebook password.
He was quickly corrected by myself and another friend ... that in fact the GOP was trying to pass a needed bill about privacy and the Dems tried to stick that in the bill and send it back to committee.
don’t bother its just a garbage dump of ignorant liberal bile.
Life is hard its harder if your stupid and these poor people have a hard life.....
LMAO!
After what I just saw on that facebook page, there is no going back to having a united country now. No possible way.
Well, like many other FReepers, I lost my firearms and ammunition in a boating accident. Anyone else lose theirs the same way??
Life can be hard.. but its even harder if you’re stupid..
And if you’re stupid and a women.. you had better bend over.. and prepare for a gift..
I bet this was set up by someone working for/with the White House.....
What you saw on that page was probably a less restrained version of what I heard coming over the tops of the lockers at Laney College in Oakland thirty years ago. In short, the only difference between then and now is that today the hate for whitey is less restrained and the means to express that hatred more violent. It is the same hatred gays feel toward straights or Islamists toward Christians and Jews.
A friend of mine “shared” a poster from their site. The poster was one of hate showing the KKK, Nazis, and Fred Phelps and his cult from Westboro Baptist church.
Let’s see the KKK was founded by democrats one of which was General Nathan Bedford Forrest (I believe) in Tennessee shortly after Reconstruction.
Nazis were socialists.
And Fred Phelps is a registered democrat—a disbarred civil rights attorney.
You’d think that they’d at least want to get their facts straight. But facts and liberal hate don’t really take notice of one another do they.
You speak truth, brother.
Pity most people (even here) can’t see what’s coming.
It isn’t that they can’t see it - they don’t want to see it. Because then, they would have to face the reality of what’s coming at us.
If they would open their eyes, then we could fix this and avoid the coming catastrope.
I will *not* forgive them for this.
do I need to be logged in or something?
Hit, several times. The stooooopid is very, very strong in those threads.
