They neglected to mention torture in the summary description of the assault.

The talking point has been to spin it as a robbery gone wrong. Robbery was not the goal. They ditched the vehicle soon afterwards.

Why any robber will torture you if you cross him... ain’t that common sense?

Kidnapping, torture, rape, and murder.

Oh yeah, and it was a robbery that didn’t result in keeping or selling the stolen goods.

I hope they don’t drag out the appeals process because you know it’s coming. I was surprised the other monster didn’t get the death penalty.

Let me rewrite the headline correctly, since AP would never do it:

BLACK MAN CONVICTED OF HATE CRIME MURDER OF WHITE COUPLE.

This pretence by police that color had nothing to do with it is a compete cop out..

“I was surprised the other monster didn’t get the death penalty.”

I think he was given life only because he cooperated with the prosecutor in describing the horrific tortures they inflicted!

Yeah, soon we will hear Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson screaming that this was a lynch job by a mostly white jury. Though maybe with this case they will have finally bitten off more than they can chew.

I hope jurors are smart enough to keep their lips zipped... “no comment” to any press inquiry large or small. If they want to be sure the death sentence stands, that is.

A short grudging news story of a horrific hate crime.

If the races were reversed, it would have been national news for months!!!!!!!!!

Here is a description of the crime from Wikipedia;

“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 “hijacked, bound and blindfolded and taken back to Lemaricus Devall ‘Slim’ Davidson’s rented house on Chipman Street.”[4]

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 raped 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.

Christian’s death came only after hours of sexual torture, medical examiner Mileusnic-Polchan testified. Christian 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 Christian 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. Christian died slowly, suffocating, the medical examiner said.[5]”

Yet the police dont call it a hate crime because there is no evidence that racial slurs were used! (roll eyes)

Unfortunately with the appeals system in Tennessee, he will sit on death row for 20 to 30 years.

Both were raped, Newsom was fatally shot and Christian suffocated after she was choked and stuffed in a garbage bag and trash can.

Christopher was raped, bound and made to walk blindfolded with a sock in his mouth and a shirt over his head barefoot to some railroad tracks where he was shot several times and then burned. His body was found the next day.

Channon suffered far worse as she was tortured, raped, and beaten. You can google her and her boyfriend’s name to get the details because they are just too gruesome for me to retype.
