Horror in Knoxville update: Trial stalled for one year By Michelle Malkin • July 14, 2008 02:56 PM It must be maddening for the families of Channon Christian and Christopher Newsom. I know you haven’t forgotten the young couple brutally murdered in a racially-charged case in Knoxville, TN. I haven’t, either. The latest? Justice delayed in the trial of suspect George Thomas:

For a double murder? Unlikely.

Don't you know? The kids were just white trash. They don't need no speedy justice. And don't hold your breath waiting for the MSM to cover the miscarriage of justice in Knoxville.

Lesson: don’t get attacked by a protected class. But how is one to escape their fate if white?

I’ve seen this script before. The perps will eventually get released because they weren’t given a “speedy” trial.

Don’t believe me? There’s at least 1 trial from Oregon involving murder that got dismissed for this very reason. I believe there was a serial rapist that also used this same defense.

Just imagine how much taxpayer money that will be funneled into the criminal defense attorney’s pockets in this case over the multiple appeals.

We truly have the best government (and legal system) that money can buy.

You know, I can’t even bear to reread about this crime,; it was so vile, on the same order as the Wichita murders.

This is the first time I've ever heard of this story, thanks to the worthless, slimy, evil leftist media in this nation.

How the hell the families of these victims can contain themselves when in the presence of these subhuman vermin while in court, I'll never know. My prayers to them and their cruelly departed loved ones.

What REALLY makes me mad in these kinds of cases, is that you have an entire group participating in it. At some point, you'd think at least ONE idiot in the group would have a moment of lucidity and/or courage and would be able to talk the rest of them out of it. These types of scum, and they come in all colors, are mindless, killing zombies that have no ability to empathize with actual human beings. They want to act like animals, they should be treated like animals. They gave up their right to be treated like human beings.

You obviously don’t know much about this case. These kids were NOT poor white trash. Far from it.
