Horror in Knoxville update: The first guilty verdict
Many of you will recall the terrible murders of Channon Christian and Christopher Newsom, which I covered here extensively last year.
The first trial for the first suspected has ended with the first guilty verdict:
The first trial ends with the first guilty verdict in connection with the deaths of Channon Christian, 21, and Christopher Newsom, 23.
The only one of the five suspects not charged with murder, Eric DeWayne Boyd is guilty of being an accessory, according to the jury.
The jury has spoken, convicting Eric Boyd of two counts.
After five hours of deliberation, they found Boyd guilty of being an accessory after the fact, and concealing a felon, agreeing with the prosecution that he helped hide murder suspect Lemaricus Davidson from police, while failing to report his crimes.
This battle is over, but the victim’s families know the war will be long.
The victims’ families celebrate the word they’ve been waiting to hear for more than a year: Guilty.
Eric Boyd’s conviction today is the first, but family members pray it won’t be the last.
Channon Christian’s father Gary Christian says, “One down, four to go, baby. We got more to go on this one too. Eric boyd’s gonna hear from us.”
What Eric Boyd heard from the jury today will likely mean 15 years in federal prison, after sentencing August 12th.
Next year may bring four more trials, death penalty cases against the four accused murderers.
Even on this day, Chris Newsom’s mother is thinking about that.
Mary Newsom says, “They really, really tortured them beyond a normal killing, so whatever the others get, that’s what they deserve.”
Knoxville Police Sgt. Tim Snodderly says, “This is just a small part of what we’ve got going on. This is just a first step, and we’re extremely happy with the verdict we got today. We’ve got a long way to go but this is a little bit of justice for the family.”

Bravo!
I’ll gladly take care of the other four at no cost to the people of Tenn. We’ve got to stop tolerating murder.
I am in agreement with RTater.
What is the method of ‘death’ in Tennessee? Also, I have yet to read or hear what the ‘defense’ consisted of. Can someone please inform me?
This from the local Knoxville news
Former Lemaricus Davidson girlfriend Daphne Sutton testified that Letalvis Cobbins forced Channon Christian to shoot and kill Christopher Newsom on Monday, January 8, 2007.
There is a special place in Hell reserved for these miscreants…
That’s the best news I’ve heard in a while. I’ve wondering what was happening with this case, since I hadn’t heard any updates about it in a while.
Since noone else is covering it, Michelle, I hope you’ll keep us updated about it.
Finally.
What ever happened to a swift trial? You would think it’s in the interest of the accused and the victims.
Yes?
Justice.
and the MSM covered this where?…
My word.
Thanks for the update. I hope they ALL receive a very slow and agonizing death – they deserve absolutely zero compassion. 15 years for Eric DeWayne Boyd is nowhere near enough imho, but at least it’s a start.
There is far too much interest in the perpetrators of this horrific crime. The victims cry out from the grave for just punishment – and not the version of unjust punishment favored by liberals.
Michelle thank you for your continued coverage of this brutal hate crime. The MSM is STILL ignoring this story. The Knoxville press has no choice.
I was thinking the same thing? Why is it going to take until “next year” to have the other trials?
An endless loop of “an inconvenient truth” and a rope. After 3 or 4 times through they just hang themselves.
Oh wait, that’s probably considered “cruel and unusual”. Maybe just a choice of a rope or an endless loop of the goracles award winning movie. I know which I’d choose.
I say we skin ‘em and pour turpentine on their open, raw flesh……and record their screams of agony.
Or we could handcuff ‘em, cover them in honey and drop them off in Tasmania: Home to the most aggressive and deadly ants in the world, the Jumping Jack ants!
But that’s just me….
GOD, grant these families Peace I pray.
Good news as tragic as this is.
Chap,
If you happen to read this, this is the kind of story I would bait a troll to respond to. 99% of the time, they will not as they just can’t blame Boosh or some evil Republican (or Michelle’s commenters).
Sounds like he was acting like a “typical” black man.
#7 ACHefty
Remember, it was about two years before Timothy McVeigh came to trial. About a year after that before Terry Nichols was tried.
So, I wonder about that, too.
If you think the back-up in criminal trials is great, try the civil system sometime.
What needs to be accomplished is a cultural change in the black community, benefitting most…. the black community.
This can be accomplished, but requires several cultural changes, some for all of America.
1st: Stop acting as if being a single mother is a feather to put in your cap. The media is constantly holding these women up as something to aspire to when they should be stigmatized. They should be stigmatized to a point where there is genuine anger towards the father for abandoning his responsibility.
This will help rebuild the black family, which neither slavery nor Jim Crow could destroy for generation, but hip hop accomplished in one. The black family was intact before the assassination of MLK, but has disappeared now. A robust black America is good for ALL Americans, and the family is the starting point.
2nd. Have the police continually beat the drum that they are there to protect and serve the neighborhood residents. This, along with stable two parent households should help stem the rampant crime that is the cancer for the black community.
Maybe this is just crazy talk, but I refuse to go down the liberal road of the latent racism of lowered expectations. The rampant crime (and mostly black on black) in the black community must stop for the betterment of all America.
tre, AC, I once heard a defense attorney say that it was in the best interests of their clients to postpone and/or delay the trial as long as possible. Witnesses die, forget, or move away, the police involved might not remember the exact sequence of events, evidence can be contaminated over time, etc., etc. That, plus the fact that it give enough time so that the potential jury pool no longer remembers the crime.
Any lawyers in the area, am I correct?
Where the “F” is the national media coverage on this?
Thanks Michelle for giving this the coverage it deserves.
I had to do research about this, and its true, I never heard about it on any news. Appararently, Britney Spears and the NBPP are more important. After reading how graphic the kidnapping was, how they were both raped in all aspects and possibilities, Strangled and Shot and Newsome set ablaze before he was dead or before, which doesn’t make a difference, with that type of trauma you’re dead inside already no matter what occurs next. Sickening.
This should really be covered more by the MSM. I have yet to hear Jesse or Al Sharpton mention anything about this horrific crime. What was done to the 2 innocent souls was just hideous and a hineous crime by any standard.
15 years is no where near enough for these animals.
My thoughts and prayers go out to the families of Channon and Christopher.
Doug,
I believe you are correct. You will notice that most delay requests are filed by defenders, not prosecutors. My questions was more rhetorical in nature than anything else.
Reggie,
Good stuff. Any community will thrive or die from within. Our choice.
“There were complaints of racism on both sides from white supremacist rallies to Boyd’s defense claim that Davidson’s white girlfriend got away with the very crime for which Boyd was charged.” This from the link in the article about the interview with the jury foreman. Emphasis, of course, is mine.
That has got to be the sorriest excuse of a defense that I’ve heard since I was babysitting. 5-year-old gets punished, but it’s not fair, because the 7-year-old did it and got away with it. Oh please.
cpodug, those are common defense strategies.
A friend of mine is an attorney, so I know these are common tactics used by defense attorneys.
And the MSM wonders why they are losing ground to the new media. I haven’t heard a word about this story since MM reported on it last year – and I live just two counties away from the Tennessee border!
it’s crimes like this where you need a public sufficiently outraged to go pluck those animals from jail and beat them mercilessly in the streets…and if they die *shrug* the world’s better off.
Thank you for the update as I wondered whatever happened with this case.
I cannot fathom why often times I turn on the tv and like Silky see pop tarts and car chases ad nauseum. This will probably only make the news in TN and here.
Cpodug, you’re right about it being in the best interest of the defense to delay the trial but if there is a backlog of prosecutions it can also be used to your advantage to whine about not having a speedy trial while secretly hoping you don’t. This is from my s-i-l who was a criminal defense attorney. However, she has changed fields now and is in nursing school of all things.
I am from here in Knoxville. I am pretty sure that these guys will be going to Brushy Mountain Penetentiary. So to answer your question “What is the method of ‘death’ in Tennessee?” I would say for these guys it will be Death by White Inmates. And believe me, they don’t want to escape Brushy Mountain either. It is a straight-up mountain climb out of three sides of this prison, and if you get past the guards and make it over the hill somehow, that is where the rednecks from Anderson, Scott and Union counties pick up the slack.
Its cases like this that make me rethink my anti-death penalty stance. You guys might be right about this one.
What really needs to be asked is WHO raises these MONSTERS!
Did jesse jackson and Al Sharpton turn into crickets? That’s about the only sound I can pick up coming from those quarters.
Nothing from the MSM either. What a surprise.
Errah, I’d be willing to give these folks a “lift” to the hooscow errah.
If it is a village (thank you Hillary), it’s not a very nice one, that’s for sure.
Thank you Michelle for the update. I remember the uproar over the Imus comments. If it were not for my local radio station, it is likely that I wouldn’t have heard about this at all in Memphis TN. But the Imus “outrage” was on three times a day! In Memphis it is big “news” if a white speaks badly of anything black. But let four blacks torture, rape and murder a white couple, in Memphis TN this will get little IF ANY coverage.
But if the race had been switched, OMG!
To RTater, I would be happy to help in any way.
Meanwhile in Georgia they still haven’t brought the courthouse shooter, Brian Nichols, to trial yet. He was the guy who escaped from the female sheriffs deputy and killed a judge, another deputy, the court reporter and later a immigration officer before finding Jesus while holding another woman hostage. That was 3 years ago.
In the Wikepedia story these statements are made:
“There is absolutely no proof of a hate crime,” said John Gill, special counsel to Knox County District Atty. Randy Nichols. “We know from our investigation that the people charged in this case were friends with white people, socialized with white people, dated white people.”
Additionally, this is said:
“The national news media was initially criticized by some for not giving the crime adequate coverage because the victims were white, and the suspects black, but some commentators have explained that “as bad as this crime is, the apparent absence of any interest group involvement or any other ‘angle’ might also explain the lack of coverage.”
Can’t imagine what news, race hustlers, etc would have done if this had been white folks (who were friends of black people, socialized with black people, and dated black people) commiting the same crime against black people.
Yes, I am white; however, I am married to a black woman.
Michelle, thank you for covering this story so well. We are grateful that someone is drawing attention to this horrendous crime.
That has to be a rhetorical question, right? These (insert the epithet of your choice here) are products of the ME generation, the byproducts of entitlement, no accountability, victim mentality(you can’t blame me – I’m a victim – it’s all society’s fault!) and, in a way, it IS society’s fault – the society that makes excuses for people(and I almost don’t want to call them people) like these thugs. “Poor dears, it really isn’t their fault, you know. We need to give them more money so they don’t have to work. After all, they don’t have 62″ TVs. We have to provide them housing, don’t give them a hard time in school” etc. etc. etc. And on and on, ad nauseum.
The friends and parents of these monsters will be front and center in their trials, telling everybody what good, misunderstood people they are, and that they could never have done this. They are being falsely accused. And the MSM, whatever there may be of it that deigns to cover future trials, will lap it up to the point almost of accusing the victims of causing their own torture, mutilation and death.
What they don’t understand is that they will have to stand trial in a higher court someday, and there won’t be any slick defense lawyer to help them play the racist or victim cards.
This is the most horrific crime I have seen in years. Carjacked, kidnapped, tortured, raped, burned…. There are not enough words to contain the amount of wrath this stirs in me to see such evil.
God Bless the families of these 2 victims. 4 more monsters to go, and I hope each one of them gets the death penalty the prosecution is seeking.
For one of the early questions, the death penalty here in TN is carried out by lethal injection. But, I don’t have any objections to firing up “Ol’ Sparky” either.
The details of this carjacking/murder/rape incident are horrific. Poor Channon was still alive, according to evidence submitted in this first case, when she was dumped upside down in a trash can with a plastic bag over her head, where she died from positional asphyxia, after being raped, vaginally, anally and orally on repeated occasssions. Poor Chris as set on fire, while still alive, according to evidence presented.
I believve there must be a special place reserved in Hell for people that commit these types of crimes.
I’m waiting to see if we will end up with Jessee Jackson and Al Sharpton rushing in to stir the pot.
1983, Michael Douglas “Star Chamber”. Yes, I know it was fiction, but I am willing to sit on that bench.
I vote we execute the murderer(s). Good riddence.
#35 Who raises these monsters?
That’s likely part of the sad story. Probably no one.
Michelle, you’re spot on. It’s not covered by the Drive-By Media because it doesn’t fit into their pretty package of PC hype. God help us.
What would B.O. and Jeremiah Wright say, ” Not even a crime – No justice no peace?” Or, “Another reason for typical whites to cling to their religion and guns in bitterness?
To discuss this case is to reveal an ugly truth about problems in America’s black communities – too many black males have rejected civilization and education and have become professional criminals. Jeremiah will be safe from this million criminals march on America in his fortress mansion as will the billionaire elites. But 7000 black Americans will be murdered by their “brothers” this year. More black Americans have been murdered by blacks in the last 5 years than were lynched in the last 125 years. The thousands and thousands of black Americans murdered by black criminals in this country have a right to be remembered and a had right to live- their lives count. But not to the media, and not to BO and the other Judas leaders. The drive by media is happy to close its eyes to this story too – they have become the new and effective KKK.
I don’t remember this ever being reported as a hate crime.
Oh my bag, forgot, “typical black thugs” torturing and murdering “typical white couple” is not a hate crime.
How can a “typical black person” as a minority be guity of a hate crime?
nyk?
TEDDY!!!
I say we take Teddy up on his offer!
Are they members in good standing of The Trinity Church?
I wonder how many bridges over troubled waters Teddy could find between Knoxville and their assigned incarceration destinations.
First lesson in law school:
DELAY!!!
It gets the bad guys off and the lawyers make more $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
That’s water under the bridge, Soap.
Politicalguano I believe you are correct.
Its stuff like this that makes people want to buy guns so at least they would have a chance against these monsters. Did that ever occur to you Obama you freaking idiot???
I say take the four out to an open field. Give them a shovel and force them to dig their own graves. When they are done, make the turn around and put a .40 cal in their forehead.
Hang ‘em high I say. Great news on Boyd.
The Dad is right….1 down 4 to go.
God bless the families…must be torture having to go through all these trials and hear about the harm inflicted on their loved ones over and over.
This is where vigilante justice fits nicely
Errah I’d take em for a swim up at Oak Ridge and give em a splash in some of their heavy water first! errah.
Errah then a short drive up to Holsten Munitions factory and pick up each of them a “door prize” before we go a parkin, errah.
It is clear from the press reports that the medical examiner and both legal teams are omitting vast amounts of material about the deaths of these kids. I suspect it is because Boyd is only charged as being an accessory after the fact and the Prosecutors do not want to pollute the jury pool. It is also clear that Boyd was in fact an accessory to the crime of kidnapping (Channon), something I had not read about. But the evidence there was too circumstantial.
Guilty doesn’t mean justice will be served. Only the death sentence will justly atone for this horrible crime.
Errah the old oldsmobile still has some giddyup and go in her. I’d like to do one of the duke boys jumps ala the general lee first, errah.
Michelle, I was one of the ones who emailed you about this story. I live in East TN and had not heard of this locally… only through a blog. And guess what? I didn’t hear about this verdict either.
Stories about the carjacking/rape/murder of this couple have been all over the news here in East Tennessee since it happened. How could you miss it?
I’ve seen it on television, heard it on radio and read it in print here a lot.
In what part of East Tennessee do you live, dldeskins?
I wish I hadn’t read this update. I’m once again sickened by the description of the horrors committed upon the victims. I can’t imagine what their families have gone through and continue to go through. I think it would have broken me to learn if my child or sibling came to such a fate.
That being said, I hope these animals on trial are put down, and in a very public and painful manner.
I can only hope. Big boys prison has a way of dealing with child molesters and scum bags like this. I just hope they get a speedy trial so they can enjoy what’s coming as soon as possible.
The day these young people were abducted was the day their parents were sentenced to a lifetime of heartache. Every second, minute, hour, day, week, month and year the parent’s loss will never be far from their thoughts and agony at learning details of their deaths. Unfortunately, for parents and loved ones, they are not eligible for a retrial, plea bargain, early out for good behavior or the whim of a governor to stay the execution.
If they receive the death sentence won’t they be isolated and removed from the general prison population? They’ll sit there for 20 yrs. in relative comfort with every legal challenge at their disposal. Give them a life sentence and let the “boys” in the yard have a go at them. Or, send them to Texas. Doesn’t take nearly so long here to clean off the needle.
You ask “who raised these people?” No human being I can think of could have raised these animals. Not to be confused with sub-humans, these are specimens that belong in the wild.
The Top 10 News Stories, according to the Associated Drive-By Press as of right now are:
Pope celebrates first public Mass of US trip in Washington
Hearing for children at polygamist retreat grinds to a halt
Leading economic indicators rise after 5 months of declines
AP-Yahoo poll shows McCain winning back unhappy Republicans
Clinton changes course on Obama’s electability
Israel thwarts Palestinian attack from Gaza
CDC: Flu season worst in 3 years; vaccine didn’t work well
EBay CEO sees more change ahead after profitable 1st quarter
`American Idol’ cuts another finalist, leaving 6 contestants
Ravens quarterback Steve McNair retires after 13 seasons
So…typical drive-by drivel…religious people are kooks, Republicans are unhappy, the economy sucks, people are sick, big businesses are (gasp!) turning profits, and stories about American Idol and a quarterback who stayed in the game for too long…ALL of which seem to be more important than the first of several convictions resulting from this truly heinous crime!
Barry:
I go to school in Knoxville, and I first heard about this story through a local blog. I tend to shy away from local news broadcasts, though.
This school year has been especially bad for crime on campus, with rapes, carjackings, armed robberies, bomb threats, etc. happening on and close to campus. I’m glad to see that at least some of these criminals are being caught and having to be held accountable.
I think the death sentence is too kind for these monsters. With death comes release. They need to suffer.
If you don’t like the local news broadcasts, give WNOX a try. I rarely listen to music on my radio. I’m more of a newstalk junkie and find that WNOX gives me my fix. They had quite a bit of coverage on this, including an immediate update on the verdict yesterday, when it was read by the jury foreman.
Mookie, would you settle for the Old Testament justice? You know, an eye for an eye? Whatever they did to their victims should be done to them. How would that work?
There is a good chance that they could/would be placed into protective custody, if they aren’t put on deathrow. The legal liability of a prison putting them in general population knowing that someone may exact some vigilante justice is too great to prison official to take a chance.
It was the same way with child molesters, when I worked in the system. I had to make sure they were placed in protective custody units, even if they didn’t want to be there, because they would be killed in general population. As tempting as it was, if I had not made sure they were placed in protective custody, I would have been a party in any lawsuit by the family or other party that would file from their death or injury.
This is just the beginning.
American-Africans have recently discovered that no one will stand-up to them. No matter the level of their depravity. No matter the PURE EVIL in their actions. We’re becoming an Anarchist’s Dream. Just like Liberia, the Congo, Haiti, Zimbabwe, and South Africa. All because of the left’s need to blame African Criminality on good white people!
Any reasonable person should fear Africans.
That’s more like it. I’d like to see their last moments on earth be in the midst of some serious agony and pain, not strapped to a gurney with tranquilizers.
The authorities could drop this scum off at an alkayda torture house for all I care. I believe the criminal and crime define cruel or unusual. Whatever you are willing to do to others you have signed off on if we were to decide to do it to you. But everyone knows we won’t so relocation is an option in my opinion.
xler8bmw said: What really needs to be asked is WHO raises these MONSTERS!
They would have better served to be raised by wolves.
Barry F.@1:37pm – thanks for the update on the liabilities prisons/guards, etc. face from prisoner’s families. I hadn’t considered that angle. Have to admire their restraint then in not taking any prisoners when arrested.
It sure warms my heart to see a jury do the job this one did! I will pray and hope for the same out come for the other 4 SCUMBAGS with all of them getting the NEDDLE or even better the OLD SPARKY!
Doesn’t look like any of our libtrolls want much to do with this thread.
Sadly the last time I did a internet search of this horrid crime the white supremacists had gone berserk with it, which doesn’t help because that becomes the first part of any MSM coverage.
The SCOTUS has reinstated the death penalty just in time.
There is a reason for “preview” – I should have said, “Have to admire their restraint then when taking prisoners into custody while making an arrest.”
I must stop multi-tasking when doing far more important things like reading MM’s site
We have to wait maybe another whole YEAR until the real savages get what’s coming to them in court? So much for the idea of getting a speedy trial & execution ..
BTW, has anyone heard Jesse or Al crying out that justice must be served?
Yeah, well when death is administered by the government, they have to be “humane”. In most cases…I could care less. But with this one…
In this case, I say, give Chanon’s Papa a baseball bat…and let him feel better for about 10 minutes alone with this despicable bunch…if he wishes to do so. I say let the choice be his and honor it’s outcome.
This story is so hard to read and not have steam coming out of your ears…bunch of miserable excuses for human beings.
Their Grandmothers of course!
maybe someone with posting authority on lucianne.som might post this story for some add’l exposure?
Compare this case to the one in West Virginia, in which four white people, including a mother and son, were accused of torturing a black woman. That one got plenty of attention. In that case the victim survived, and while what was done to her was awful, it wasn’t one-tenth as bad as what happened to these poor kids. But it fit the media template of toothless hillbillies victimizing the poor African-American girl. Nobody wants to here it when it’s the other way around and exponentially worse.
There are just some TRULY EVIL people in the world.
If you think this is the worst of the black on white
hate crimestry googling “Wichita Massacre” and if you want a look at the real Nation of Islam google “Zebra Killings”. The Zebra killings went down the liberal MSM memory hole a long time ago. It didn’t fit the identity politics template.Even after a year of following this story, the details of this crime still make me physically ill.
I was having such a nice day too…
I know it feels good to vent, but if we did stuff like this and what others have suggested, this wouldn’t be America anymore. If you read the latest SCOTUS opinion in BAZE you’ll see that even your most conservative justices are against torture.
The adult pieces of garbage murderers in this horror story deserve life, and all the terrible things that come along with it. I can relate with Tommy Lee Jones at the end of “No Country for Old Men”.
Did not one of these criminals pause as they witnessed the sheer torture they were inflicting on a fellow human being? Was not one of them overcome with compassion or sympathy, enough to stop before playing God and stealing someone’s life?
Uncivilized. Sickening. Disgusting.
The jurors, despite the obvious guilt and cruelty of the criminal, took time to contemplate the fate of a fellow human being.
Civilized. Honorable. Just.
What those four need is a long drop and a short stop. Too bad we don’t have a more creative criminal justice system; the whole “burning at the stake” seems right about at the level these un-human scumbags deserve. I just hope that before they get voted off the island permanently, some of these guys get to meet some of Sen. Bird’s (D, WV) old klucker friends who’re in for life and haven’t seen a woman in years.
Thanks Michelle for the update. It is about time the all too slow wheels of justice start grinding to deal with those accused of this savage criminal act. May their acts earn them each the ultimate punishment. If this crime would have been performed by 4 whites against anyone else it would be 24/7 headlines news for months.
All I see is weird African/American type names which show a sub-culture of hate, or lack of desire to be part of the solution within the Rev. Wright school of thought.
Arm yourselves.
And another thing: protection of the law only extends to citizens who have human rights; when you murder someone, you forfeit your rights, especially your right to life. Human rights are absolute and apply to all people; attempting to abrogate another’s rights ABSOLUTELY means that you do not uphold those rights, which necessarily means that you do not hold yourself to have those rights. The only problem I have with doing horrible things to people like these murdering, raping, torturing beasts is that I’m unsure of the stability or morality of someone who would carry out any truly heinous punishment. I have no problem feeding these insects to Hannibal Lector; it’s just that Hannibal doesn’t belong in society either. So, a tall oak tree a strong short rope is what I call for.
You mean names like Condileeza?
Thank you for the one of the most uniquely bizarre and unhinged posts I’ve ever seen on this site. Wow, good times.
I disagee. I think death is much better. While it’s true that some may suffer in prison, monsters such as these often have their own prison sub-culture where they can at times be better off than they were on the street. If, and this is a big “if” prison was sure to make them suffer,(big time), OK, but death is a sure thing, no more problems from these idiots, no chance of escape, no in prison crimes……no retrials, no Hollywood celibrities yelling for their release, death is the way to go here IMO.
