Vanessa Coleman was arraigned in Knox County Criminal Court Wednesday for the murders of Channon Christian and Chris Newsom.

Coleman appeared before a grand jury on indictments that included aggravated rape and first degree murder.

Coleman is the only woman charged in the case, and the last suspect to be arraigned. She was arrested in Kentucky, and unsuccessfully fought extradition.

Coleman is charged in the murders, along with Lemaricus Davidson, Letalvis Cobbins, and George Thomas.

All four are scheduled to be back in court May 17 for a status hearing.

Comeon... she was just out having a good time!

It’s not like she called somebody a “Ho” or something, is it?

I think it’s Nashville. My sister lives in that neck of the woods.

Down the memory hole like the Wichita Massacre and the Zebra Killings?

Holy crap.  I hadn't heard of this crime.  It's so sub-humanly brutal as to be unbelievable. 

It sounds so much like an urban legend I actually double-checked its authenticity.

It’s probably the county where Knoxville is located. Home of the University of Tennessee.

I know, I’m sorry it’s so disturbing. They found Chris’ body parts in five different garbage cans.

No, it's real. A horrible crime done by dim witted denizens of the 'hood.

Does Tennessee have the death penalty?

Expect the defense to claim that their clients all have low IQs and therefore are too dumb to die via execution.

The media is, rightly or wrongly, trying to suppress white outrage about the crime.

Think about it. All it takes is one incident like this to throw Sharpton’s and Jackson’s credibility into the toilet, where it belongs.

I’ll believe the black whiners ONLY when they can make intelligent statements about things like this and get media attention.

Until then, whether you want to call it a conspiracy or not, there’s obviously one hell of alot of butt kissin and mutual back scratchin goin on!

To be totally honest - and I'm not wanting to start an argument here - I don't find the Virginia Tech murders half as disturbing as this story.

Cho's situation at least makes some sense:  one nutjob with the right equipment going into a killing ground where no one can defend themselves and killing 32 is shocking - and incredibly sad - but not unbelievable.

But this....this was a group of people engaging in unbelievable cruelty.  I don't even want to think about it.

The Supreme Court made that ruling to protect themselves from execution should one of them commit a murder. Afterall, Justice Stephens ruled that carbon dioxide is a pollutant when it isn't. That's a pretty retarded opinion and if he had any intelligence, he'd be ashamed to write it.

This one is in TN. There are Knox Counties in: OH, TX, IL, IN, ME, and KY.

Careful everyone, the moderator pulled the thread on this one a couple of days ago.

Wouldn’t want anyone to be offended (by the truth).

For good reason.

It is a good deal more disturbing if you ask me.

....this was a group of people engaging in unbelievable cruelty

A few years back a couple of towns over a young woman was murdered in her apartment by another young woman she had befriended. Motive?

The killer wanted the other young womans baby. So she murdered her and cut the still living fetus out of the victims body as she was dying.

Some folks just need killin'....

Thanks. The article didn't make it clear. And since they caught one of the perps in KY I thought it might have been Knox County IL.
