We need to rid the planet of people like these idiots.

The perpetrators car-jacked, then raped Christopher Newsom, cut off his penis, then set him on fire and fatally shot him several times while they forced his girlfriend, Channon Christian, to watch. An even more cruel fate awaited her!

Channon Christian, was beaten and gang-raped in many ways for four days by all of them, while they took turns urinating on her. Then they cut off her breast and put chemicals in her mouth ... and then murdered her.

Dozens of New Charges in Double Murder Case Announced
Posted: 5:05 PM Feb 1, 2007. Last Updated: 11:40 AM Feb 8, 2007.
Reporter: Whitney Daniel, WVLT Staff

Knoxville (WVLT) - The District Attorney General of Knox
County announced the list of charges facing now five suspects in the double murder of Channon Christian and Christopher Newsom.

The District Attorney General Randy Nichols is not saying whether or not he will seek the death penalty, but he does say the State will seek conviction for all charges filed in a 24-page indictment from the Knox County Grand Jury.

Lemaricus Davidson, 25, faces a total of 46 charges. Davidson was indicted on 16 counts of Felony Murder growing out of rape, robbery kidnapping and theft of Channon Christian and Chris Newsom, 2 counts premeditated murder of Christian and Newsom, 2 counts especially aggravated robberies from Christian and Newsom, 4 counts especially aggravated kidnapping of Christian and Newsom, 20 counts aggravated rape of Christian and Newsom, and 2 counts of theft from Christian and Newsom.

Letalvis Cobbins, 24, faces a total of 46 charges. Cobbins was indicted on 16 counts of Felony Murder growing out of rape, robbery kidnapping and theft of Channon Christian and Chris Newsom, 2 counts premeditated murder of Christian and Newsom, 2 counts especially aggravated robberies from Christian and Newsom, 4 counts especially aggravated k! idnappi ng of Christian and Newsom, 20 counts aggravated rape of Christian and Newsom, and 2 counts of theft from Christian and Newsom.

George Thomas, 24, faces a total of 46 charges. Thomas was indicted on 16 counts of Felony Murder growing out of rape, robbery kidnapping and theft of Channon Christian and Chris Newsom, 2 counts premeditated murder of Christian and Newsom, 2 counts especially aggravated robberies from Christian and Newsom, 4 counts especially aggravated kidnapping of Christian and Newsom, 20 counts aggravated rape of Christian and Newsom, and 2 counts of theft from Christian and Newsom.

Just last night, police in Lebanon , Kentucky , arrested 18-year-old Vanessa Coleman. She faces 40 Tennessee state charges. Coleman was indicted on 12 counts Felony Murder growing out of rape, robbery kidnapping and theft of Channon Christian and Chris Newsom, 1 count Premeditated Murder of Christian only, 1 count Especially Aggravated Robbery of Newsom only, 4 counts especially aggravated
kidnapping of Christia n and Newsom, 20 counts of aggravated rape of Christian and Newsom and 2 Counts of theft from Christian and Newsom.

Eric Boyd, 24, also arrested in connection with the fatal carjacking, only faces federal charges as an accessory after the fact. He was not indicted by Knox county grand jury.

Felony Murder carries a possibility of death, life without the possibility of parole and life with parole. Especially Aggravated Robbery is a Class A felony that carries a possibility of 15 to 60 years in prison. Aggravated Rape is a Class A felony that carries a possibility of 15 to 60 years of prison.

At a news conference Thursday, Nichols commended the cooperative efforts between several departments and credits that cooperation for the fast pace this case is moving through the court system.

Nichols says he hopes to move the case to trial on the first day it's set.

The four are expected to make their first court appearance within ten to fifteen days.

This is certainly a case garnering a lot of public interest, Nichols recognizes that and says he expects all kinds of requests filed in this case, including a change of venue in order to receive a fair trial. But he says he does hope 12 Knox County jurors will be able to determine the guilt or innocence of these suspects.

It was or could be also a hate crime, with white victims, black criminals. The media often fails to mention things like this, for reasons of must be political correctness, I suppose.

Truly hideous, what they did.

More details.

There was a case some years back in the bay area where a number of black men happened upon a white woman leaving an apt. in one of the projects. They raped and beat her for hours, taunting her with remarks like, "You're on our turf now, *****."

She eventually got free of them by playing dead, even while they pressed lit cigarettes into the backs of her hands to see if she was faking.

Oh man. Hate crimes definitely go both ways.

Let's hope those pukes get the chair or the rope.

How some members of the African-American community in Knoxville choose to
acknowledge the events. More news you won't here in the MSM.

Ugh

This type of stuff really makes me angry. I have heard nothing on television about this. However, whenever there is a "hate" crime against African Americans or some other downtrodden minority, it gets plastered all over the news.
I took a college class one African American history, and the instances of violent crime among inner city/impoverished African American males is staggering when compared to middle class or poor African American males living outside the inner city.
I hate to come off as a racist, because I am not, but this type of crime gets me fuming, especially since I doubt it will get as much media attention as the "crime" pepetrated on the drugged out, violent, arrest resisting Rodney King, barreling down the highway at several times over the speed limit. It was a hate crime for him, and I hope these two "gentleman" get what they deserve; that is, the death penalty, hopefully carried out in the way Hatty described.

That is sickening.. The death penalty isn't enough for people like that.

When I was driving cab in Oakland, I picked up a black guy once at about 6 am, he was on his way to work as a security guard, I forget how we got on the subject, but he said something like:

"I don't care what they say, ain't no white people ever stuck a gun in my face and took my money like some of my fellow blacks do."

Wow, I almost wish I hadn't seen this... The comments make sense but the news itself is so disgusting and disturbing it reinforces my plans to live and work in the Euro countryside after I graduate from college... We have idealized ourselves into a progressively regressed nation of publicly correct yet privately tortured people who can't express ourselves politely or intelligently anymore; blacks celebrating the murders of whites and a 'correct' response is for whites to hold their tongues???

WTF? Those low life bastages are going to celebrate every time a black victimizes a white!? Who would have the balls (or lack of class) to show up at such a celebration?

"There's going to be a party in Knoxville and America everytime black poverty speaks and privileged whites suffer."

So, black poverty "speaking"=violence

Doesn't violence beget violence? Where does it stop?

It comes 'round and bites you in the ass, that's black on black crime.

Meanwhile, the MSM is keeping us all very well informed about the lives of
Paris Hilton, Lindsey Lohan and Britney Spears.
