KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WATE) – A convicted murderer in the Christian-Newsom slayings was given two life sentences plus 90 years on Wednesday after previously being sentenced to life with the possibility of parole for all 18 murder convictions related to their deaths.
Eric Boyd was given two life sentences and 90 years in prison for aggravated rape, kidnapping and robbery in the murders of Channon Christian and Chris Newsom.
Last month, Boyd was found guilty on 36 charges following the deaths of Channon Christian and Chris Newsom. During his trial, Boyd received life sentences with the possibility of parole on all 18 murder convictions related to their deaths.
Boyd was the fifth and final person convicted in the murders, rapes and carjacking of the young couple in 2007.
Boyd was convicted in April 2008 of federal charges of accessory after the fact, not for the murders or rapes. He is the only suspect connected to the murders of Christain and Newsom tried at a federal level, the rest were convicted in state trials.
The families of Channon Christian and Chris Newsom were in the courtroom Wednesday and gave impact statements to detail the pain and suffering caused by the murders.

The default penalty in 1st degree murder should be death!

Do the sentences run concurrently or consecutive?

[Do the sentences run concurrently or consecutive? ]
Unless stated to be concurrent, it’s generally consecutive.

One of the most horrific crimes ever. The death penalty should have been automatic.

Why free room and board for life at taxpayer’s expense? Yearly costs for incarceration differ by state, but it has to be over 30,000 per year. The death penalty is there for a reason. It is reiterated in every book of the Pentateuch: you shall not let a murderer live.

It's all about taunting the peasants by burning their tax dollars in front of their eyes - like it took a state trial AND a Federal trial to figure out what to do with this scumbag.
"Let's have a Federal trial for a rabid dog, instead of dealing with the problem IMMEDIATELY!"
Yer gubbmint sucks dog testicles - and you pay King Wage for it.

Outside of the local area, I bet very few people are even aware of this case.
Compare that to Trayvon Martin.
I despise the media.

As I've said before, the goobermint likes to rub our noses in the dogdoo they call "justice".
Do this same thing to some of theirs and see how fast the wheels of justice turn then...
