The Killers of Channon Christian and her boyfriend Chris Newsom
The Killings of Channon Christian and Chris Newsom
"Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere." - Martin Luther King Jr.

Race is a touchy subject in America. In fact it's an obsession. When I ended up with this picture (click here) via an e-mail chat group, I was skeptical. After all, I live in Bristol Virginia/Tennessee only 90 miles from Knoxville. This horror story never made it into the local press that I know of. Anna Nicole Smith, the Duke Rape Case fraud, and Imus drowned us out. If it had been reported, it was certain we would never know the race of the felons, or that at least one of the five was a released felon. Because of the explosive issue of race, accusations of media bias, and lack of information from Knoxville authorities, we have far more than just two wonderful young people slaughtered by some savages. It's a political correctness freak show.

From the "news"

Quoting an article by James H. Lilley, also stated in other blogs, etc:

On Saturday January 6, 2007 Hugh Christopher Newsom, age 23 and Channon Gail Christian, age 21, both students at the University of Tennessee went out on a date. They were driving in Channon's Toyota 4-Runner when they were carjacked at gunpoint. Suddenly the crime turned far more savage than an armed car theft. Chris and Channon were kidnapped and driven to 2316 Chipman Street where they were forced into the home at gunpoint. While Channon was forced to watch, her boyfriend was raped prison style and then his penis was cut off. He was later driven to nearby railroad tracks where he was shot and set afire. But Channon's hell was just beginning. She was beaten; gang raped repeatedly in many ways, had one of her breasts cut off and bleach poured down her throat to destroy DNA evidence-all while she was still alive. To add to Channon's degradation the suspects took turns urinating on her. They too set her body afire, apparently inside the residence, but for some reason left her body there-in five separate trash bags...

No wonder the police were not releasing this information if it's true. (Turns out part of it wasn't) There are endless conflicting news reports on this story at the time. Also, it has been reported by some this was a crack house where people came and went that nobody tried to help them or call police. For the whole article from Mr. Lilly see click here.

Press plays the Race Card Again

Now the Associated Press (August 17, 2009) plays the race card. To quote, A jury was brought in for the case from Davidson County, 150 miles away, in an unusual move to ensure jurors weren't tainted by pretrial publicity. They are sequestered in a hotel and barred by the judge from following news coverage of the trial. The victims were white and middle class, and the defendants are poor and black. Some conservative Internet commentators and white supremacist agitators accused the national media of reverse discrimination by failing to give the case the same attention paid to white-on-black hate crimes.

First the social class of the victims doesn't have a damn thing to do with this. The usual liberal racist' nonsense is to imply all minority criminals because they are "poor" or "down trodden" or whatever somehow excuses their behavior. On the other hand the victims being better off somehow and white had it coming to them or as the liberal racists always imply, the criminal actions of a "coward" like Cobbins is rooted in a racist' white society.

The same press went into a frenzy at the time over Imus' comments about the Rutgers girls basketball team, a total non-crime, and participated in the press lynching of three white members of the Duke lacrosse team over the non-rape of a black prostitute. The press, Jackson, Sharpton, etc. never even offered an apology.

In another biased news report:
Conservative commentators and Internet bloggers latched onto the Christian-Newsom killings soon after the crimes occurred. They demonized the national media for ignoring what they considered a black-on-white hate crime and contrasted it to the heavily reported white-on-black Duke lacrosse rape case. But two rallies in Knoxville in 2007 led by white supremacist sympathizers were met with significant anti-protester response and failed to gain traction. No demonstrations are expected now.
Knoxville's black community has had problems with selective enforcement by police, but that is in the past, said Knoxville NAACP president Sheryl Rollins, an attorney. "In no way does the NAACP condone or support anybody - black, white, Chinese, greenies, whatever - that would do what those people (allegedly) did to those children," she said.

The "white supremacists" were a whopping total of three people. Everyone else protesting this news bias got lumped in with these three. The reason the three got no traction is they represented nobody because they were just idiots trying to take advantage of the situation. As for Sheryl Rollins, that was the same racist' NAACP that lynched the Duke lacrosse players in the press and never apologized for it. See My Disclaimer against racists

But to quote Dr. Walter Williams:
What have we heard from the NAACP, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and others who rushed to judgment and outrage as they condemned whites in the cases of the "Jena 6" and Don Imus when he referred to the Rutgers ladies basketball team as "nappy-headed ho's"? Where were the national news media and public officials? You can bet the rent money that were the victims black and the perpetrators white, Knoxville would have been inundated with TV crews, with Jackson, Sharpton and other civil rights spokesmen and politicians from both parties condemning racism, possibly blaming it all on George Bush...

Police and the justice system are not biased against minorities as this Knoxville case has proven in fact the opposite. But that doesn't lesson the crime problem.
-----------------------------------------------

The five indicted were:

Eric DeWayne "E" Boyd, 34, was arrested in connection with the fatal carjacking, though not indicted by the Knox County grand jury. Still, Boyd was charged in United States district court as an accessory after the fact for helping the suspects evade the police. Later, Boyd was also accused by Thomas and Cobbins of rape and murder, and a search warrant was obtained for his DNA. The accusations did not result in charges. See Boyd Found Guilty.

U.S. District Judge Tom Varlan has issued an opinion refusing to grant Eric Boyd a new trial, a new sentencing hearing and a chance to poll jurors. Boyd was convicted last year of helping hide out torture-slaying ringleader Lemaricus Davidson in the days following the January 2007 deaths of Channon Christian, 21, and Christopher Newsom, 23. Varlan sentenced Boyd, also labeled as an unindicted co-conspirator in the murders, to an 18-year sentence.

This was over some problems in the evidence. To quote, "While there is no question that the disclosed documents contained some impeachment material and no question that the government should have disclosed these documents prior to trial, (the information) does not undermine confidence in the verdict," Varlan wrote.
-----------------------------------------------


Letalvis "Rome" Cobbins, 24, (b. December 20, 1982) also faces the same 46 charges as Thomas. In 2003, Cobbins was convicted of third-degree attempted robbery in New York state. He and Davidson are brothers. He has also been charged with assaulting a correctional officer while incarcerated pending trial. He was convicted on August 25, 2009 of 33 of the 37 counts against him. Given Life without the possibility of Parole. See Cobbins Found Guilty

Update on Cobbins

Letalvis Cobbins will serve his life sentence in medium security prison and that has prompted some questions as to how that decision is made. As for why Cobbins was placed in medium security, state officials said every inmate is given a custody assessment when they are first brought into the system. In Cobbins' assessment at the Charles Bass Correctional Complex, he was rated at medium on the incarceration level.

Most inmates are initially given a medium classification when entering the system. Because of Cobbins' felony murder conviction, he will never be dropped to a minimum-security level, meaning he will never be allowed outside the fence. As long as he makes no trouble, he will work for 17 cents an hour at a prison job or attend classes. (Classes for what?) He can roam the facility.
-----------------------------------------------

George Geovonni

Thomas Guilty, Spared death Penalty

George Geovonni "Detroit" Thomas, 27, faces a total of 46 charges. Thomas was indicted on 16 counts of felony murder growing out of the rape, robbery, kidnapping, and theft of Christian and Newsom, 2 counts of premeditated murder, 2 counts of especially aggravated robbery, 4 counts of especially aggravated kidnapping, 20 counts of aggravated rape, and 2 counts of theft. Will be tried next.

Jamie Satterfield of the Knoxville News Sentinel (11/17/2009) noted of the Thomas trial, "No eyewitnesses. No forensic proof. Circumstantial evidence. Drug-using witnesses. DNA pointing, not to Thomas, but his three co-defendants" as chief prosecutor Takisha Fitzgerald played down expectations. She had to convince the five men and seven women (one of the women was black) of Thomas' "criminal responsibility." because of pretrial publicity Judge Baumgartner brought in jurors from Hamilton County.

Defense attorney Tom Dillard has a big problem anyway in that Thomas confessed to being at the Chipman Street house in Knoxville when Channon Christian and Chris Newsom were inside the house. The defence went on it wasn't his fault what others did. But Thomas' own words revealed why this should have been a racial hate crime.

According to Knox County Sheriff's Office Detective Nevil Norman Thomas told him "fuck that white girl, she don't mean nothin' to me. You cops come into my neighborhood and kill us. Why should I get involved in something that is none of my business?" This isn't first racial comment in this case as earlier witnesses testified to racial hatred of carjacker Eric DeWayne "E" Boyd who got 18 years in prison for lesser charges. Knoxville officials are desperate to keep race out of this because the killers were black and blacks are always considered the victims under political correctness.

Norman claimed he said this after a tape recorder had been turned off. He was "shocked" and didn't write it down for 17 months later on June 2008 after he told Prosecutors. Defence Attorney Dillard questioned Norman on this who replied that, "so much other stuff in this case we were trying to get organized I just didn't write it down." Dillard claimed this was not an admission, but in fairness where was council for Thomas? "It's not relevant," Dillard said. "It is highly prejudicial."

The Prosecution countered, "We think it goes straight to motive," Price said. "What a jury is going to want to know is how you can witness … these horrors and not do anything, and there's your answer. (Christian) meant nothing to him. He was just out for himself." Prosecutor Takisha Fitzgerald also wanted to use a phone call Thomas made to Stacy Lawson (girlfriend) he made in jail.

In the end Judge Richard Baumgartner allowed Detective Nevil Norman's account of the unrecorded exchange about Thomas racist' remarks to be "credible." and "it is admissible." His ex-girlfriend Stacy Lawson will also be testifying in the case as well.

As the trial raged on the earlier tactic of the attorneys of convicted ringleader Lemaricus Davidson (sentenced to death) there was none of this presenting the victims as out to buy drugs. As the press noted of the Prosecution,
"...they have a circumstantial case built around Thomas' own concession he knew co-defendants Lemaricus Davidson and Letalvis Cobbins were cooking up a carjacking, that he was in the tiny Chipman Street house where the couple was brutalized, took a ride in Christian's carjacked Toyota 4Runner and cared not one whit about the pair's fate."
Yet defence attorney Dillard countered,
"George Thomas didn't do anything. He did not rob anyone. He did not kidnap anyone. He did not rape anyone. He did not kill anyone. What's this case about? It's about what George Thomas didn't do. It's about his failure to act. George Thomas was basically detached. He sat in a corner. He smoked his (marijuana) blunt. George Thomas minded his own business. Believe me, that is reprehensible, but it's not criminal."
On day three of the trial the jury got to hear the recording of a phone conversation between Thomas and ex-girlfriend Stacy Lawson while he was being held Grayson County Detention Center in Kentucky after being arrested in Lebanon, Ky. This was an arguement that went on between them over Thomas doing nothing to stop the killing.
Lawson, "Why didn't anybody fucking call (police)? Why didn't you?"

Thomas, "Come on now.

Lawson, "I mean, that girl did not deserve the (expletive) that she was (expletive) put through. Neither did that boy."

Thomas, "Should've, would've could've but didn't."
On day four Thomas said in a tape recorded statement he knew Davidson and Eric Boyd planned to pull off a carjacking, "When they said they was leaving to go get the car, I'm like, OK, you know what I'm saying, and then they came back with them, them, folks," Thomas said. "I'm like OK, you know, OK, know they steal a car, not the people that's in it."

Thomas admitted seeing Channon Christian blindfolded and being led to a bedroom while blindfolded Chris Newsom being led out of the house shortly after being brought inside. He said Boyd led Newsom out at gunpoint. Thomas claimed he, Cobbins, and Vanessa Coleman went to another drug dealer's house and when they returned to Chipman Street the next day, the victims weren't there.

On December 6 the State rested its case. Defence attorneys Tom Dillard and Steve Johnson asked Judge Richard Baumgartner to toss the case out and not even goes to the jury. To quote the Knoxville News Sentinel (Dec. 6),
"More than half of the state's case last week was devoted to showing proof of the guilt of Davidson and Cobbins, both of whom have already been convicted. But as Dillard repeatedly pointed out during the trial, the pair of prosecutors presented no evidentiary link between Thomas and any of the crimes.

The best the state could offer, in fact, was testimony from a Kentucky rapper who said she saw Thomas handling small-caliber bullets the night before his arrest. Those bullets, however, were not found during a search of her house."


The Hamilton County jury in the end convicted Thomas, 26, of all counts in the 46-count document ranging from felony murder to first-degree murder to robbery, rape and kidnapping. They deliberated about six hours over two days in reaching their decision. The victims parents were delighted with the sweeping verdict. But to the parents dismay after two hours of deliberation the jury sentenced Thomas to life without parole. Of the four so far convicted in this case only Lemaricus "Slim" Davidson has been sentenced to death.
-----------------------------------------------

Lemaricus Devall

Lemaricus Davidson Goes on Trial, Found Guilty

Lemaricus Devall "Slim" Davidson, 25, (b. June 13, 1981) faces the same 46 charges as Thomas. Davidson had also completed serving a five-year sentence in Tennessee on a previous felony conviction for carjacking and aggravated robbery on August 5, 2006. He was convicted on October 28, 2009 of 46 charges (three of which were not guilty on the indicted charge, but guilty on a lesser included charge). He was sentenced by the Knoxville jury on October 30, 2009 to the death penalty (lethal injection). See Lemaricus Davidson Goes on Trial, Found Guilty
-----------------------------------------------


Vanessa Coleman, 18, was arrested by the Lebanon Police Department in Lebanon, Kentucky. She faces 40 Tennessee state charges. Coleman was indicted on 12 counts of felony murder growing out of the rape, robbery, kidnapping, and theft of Christian and Newsom, 1 count of premeditated murder (of Christian only), 1 count of especially aggravated robbery (of Newsom only), 4 counts of especially aggravated kidnapping, 20 counts of aggravated rape, and 2 counts of theft. She will be tried last. In each indictment, the large number of rape counts were included to provide a range of options for prosecutors, not to reflect the number of rapes which actually occurred. She will be the last to be put on trial.

Cecil Johnson Jr.

30 Years is Too Long

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- It was nearly closing time at Bob Bell's Nashville convenience store July 5, 1980. In walked Cecil C. Johnson Jr., who lived in the neighborhood and had been a customer for some time. Within a few minutes, three people were dead, including a 12-year-old boy who was the son of the market owner and apparently was helping his dad run the register.

Johnson, 23 at the time and now 53, is to be executed early Wednesday for three counts of murder resulting from a robbery that summer night that netted the holdup man about $200. He'll be the sixth person put to death in Tennessee since 2000, unless a judge agrees with an effort by his attorneys to ask for a stay of execution. Ref. www.wsmv.com Nov. 27, 2009

Tennessee: DR inmate Cecil Johnson Jr. says 29-year delay is cruel and unusual. The man scheduled to be executed in Nashville on Wednesday morning has asked for a stay of execution, saying to kill him by lethal injection after 29 years on death row is cruel and unusual punishment.

Cecil Johnson Jr. was convicted in 1981 for a triple killing at Bob Bell's Market the previous year and was given 3 death sentences by a jury. It wasn't until 2008 that his legal options were exhausted and an execution date was set.

His attorney, Jim Thomas, argued in the complaint filed in federal court Wednesday that the execution should be stayed in part because "the state's manipulations and conduct" have delayed the case. Johnson, now 53, was 23 when he was given the death sentence. Gov. Phil Bredesen denied Johnson's plea for clemency this week.

Thomas said that all the delays were caused by courts that failed to rule on Johnson's case for up to three years at a time after hearing some of the arguments, and by the state's attorneys. "Mr. Johnson has spent this time in mortal suspense, constantly waiting for that uncertain day on which he will be strapped to a chair or a gurney and killed a day that could arrive next week, next month, next year, but also maybe never," court filings said. "Being forced to persist in a state of constant apprehension of imminent death for nearly three decades amounts to torture."

A panel of the U.S. Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals denied Johnson's appeal in a 2-1 decision. Source: The Tennessean, Nov. 28, 2009

Poor baby. He was executed on Wednesday. He should have been executed no more than two years after his conviction.

The following number of inmates have multiple death sentences: 12 inmates with two death sentences, four inmates with three death sentences, one inmate with four death sentences, and one inmate with seven death sentences.

-----------------------------------------------
Crime Rates:
  • Blacks are seven times more likely than people of other races to commit murder, and eight times more likely to commit robbery.
  • When blacks commit crimes of violence, they are nearly three times more likely than non-blacks to use a gun, and more than twice as likely to use a knife.
  • Hispanics commit violent crimes at roughly three times the white rate, and Asians commit violent crimes at about one quarter the white rate.
  • The single best indicator of violent crime levels in an area is the percentage of the population that is black and Hispanic.


Interracial Crime: Of the nearly 770,000 violent interracial crimes committed every year involving blacks and whites, blacks commit 85 percent and whites commit 15 percent.
  • Blacks commit more violent crime against whites than against blacks. Forty-five percent of their victims are white, 43 percent are black, and 10 percent are Hispanic. When whites commit violent crime, only three percent of their victims are black.
  • Blacks are an estimated 39 times more likely to commit a violent crime against a white than vice versa, and 136 times more likely to commit robbery.
  • Blacks are 2.25 times more likely to commit officially-designated hate crimes against whites than vice versa.

Gangs:
  • Only 10 percent of youth gang members are white.
  • Hispanics are 19 times more likely than whites to be members of youth gangs.
  • Blacks are 15 times more likely, and Asians are nine times more likely.

Incarceration:
  • Between 1980 and 2003 the US incarceration rate more than tripled, from 139 to 482 per 100,000, and the number of prisoners increased from 320,000 to 1.39 million.
  • Blacks are seven times more likely to be in prison than whites. Hispanics are three times more likely.

If anybody doubts this then watch the TV show 'Cops' and notice the color of most of the criminals. (The program was denounced as racist by some.) But to quote the study and this trial will prove it: "This widely-held view that the police are biased is not supported by the evidence. The data suggest the criminal justice system generally treats offenders of different races equally. High arrest and incarceration rates for blacks and Hispanics-and very low rates for Asians-reflect differences in crime rates, not police or justice system bias." The entire report I quoted was denounced as racist, but facts are simply not racism. See The Color of Crime (pdf)

Blacks per-capita Commit More Hate Crimes

The Virginia State Police crime report for 2008 does reveal racism, but not the kind of racism they want to discuss.

Blacks make up 20 percent of the Virginia population; black males say 10 percent. In the sections where crime was reported by race, Hispanics and illegal aliens are counted as white thus inflating the white crime rate. (They commit 3-4 times the white crime rate, I excluded Asians.)

On sexual offences whites are 72 percent of the victims, black males committed 37.3 percent of the offences. Black males commit 80 percent of the robberies. Blacks commit 53 percent of the assaults and 54 percent of the car thefts. Black males alone commit 56 percent of the violent crime, with black females 63 percent. Blacks are the primary victims of crime committed by blacks and rarely by whites.

Now the hate crime statistics for 2005-2008 are the real shocker. Almost two-thirds of the victims are white, but almost two-thirds of the hate crime charges are against whites. In 2008 153 whites were victims of hate crimes while 99 blacks were victims. Yet 73% of the Virginia population is white while the black population is just under 20%. But 128 whites were charged with hate crimes with only 99 black victims. Only 72 blacks were charged with hate crimes, less than half the number of white victims. That's consistent year after year and it's clearly anti-white racism. Be aware that the definition of hate crimes have been expanded to the absurd. Of most of the race offences (185) only 72 were assault, most of the rest property crimes. Per-capita blacks commit far more hate crimes than whites do even though police are loath to even charge non-whites for hate crimes at all.

The Virginia white population is 5,671,432. 128 white offenders commit one hate crime for 44,308 white people.

The Virginia black population is 1,546,048. 72 black offenders commit one hate crime for 21,472 black people.

Blacks per-capita commit more than twice the hate crimes of whites.

More race killings ignored by the press and the race hustlers: Where are you Reverend Sharpton?
--------------------------------------------------------------

Quoting Nicholas Stix, AR News, May 14, 2007, he claimed the Knoxville police won't give him the cause of death either. (I tried too.)

Police and reporters have promoted the view that this crime was a simple carjacking that got out of hand, and that the rapists poured cleaning fluid down Miss Christian's throat to destroy DNA evidence. This appears to be wrong on both counts. The killers ditched Miss Christian's SUV just a few hours after they stole it, which suggests they had no great interest in it. Also, according to court documents, they had already planned on killing Miss Christian, so they could have used the cleaning fluid after she was dead. They did not bother to "clean" her vagina and anus, which were stuffed with DNA evidence. It appears to this reporter that the carjacking was just a way to kidnap, gang rape, torture, and murder whites, and that the killers used the cleaning fluid for the sole purpose of further torturing Miss Christian.

This comment at www.vdare.com from a reader in Knoxville, Tennessee:

Here we go again, the depths of depravity are pushed deeper by black hooligans in sleepy Knoxville, TN. First they were just going to carjack, then they decided to abduct and take the couple back to the criminal's house. So they tied them up, beat the boyfriend in front of his girl, shoot him, pour gasoline on him and lit him on fire. They disposed of his body near some railroad tracks. Next, it is her turn as they rape and sodomize her for several days, maybe as many as four black men took part! They pour drain cleaner into her throat to clean up the evidence, wrap her in plastic and throw her into their garbage can outside their house. Except that they didn't know she was alive! She later died from the cold. No mention of the perpetrator's or victim's ancestry is mentioned. Although in Knoxville, their faces are all on the news channels...

News reports (here) confirm some of this person's comments. As I monitored the local news in my area where they do often publish pictures, one fact stands out; while non-whites make up about 5% of the region's population, they account for 40% of the crime. (This is an unofficial figure!) This figure was given to me by local police, off the record. Of concern as well in the last five years is the explosion of Hispanic crime including in 2007 (first three months) two attempted child abductions, drug running and gang style shootings, child rape, and kidnapping. In fact one local Hispanic has been sentenced to death for murdering his cell mate. The region is being flooded with illegal aliens as employers refusing to pay a living wage import them by the bus load. See Illegal Aliens in East Tennessee. They are counted as white, and don't show up in Tennessee crime stats.

As of this news article, even with trial dates set, to quote: "Groups wondering why prosecutors haven't demanded the death penalty yet. "We've had some discussions of course, we're still putting evidence together," says Knox County District Attorney General Randy Nichols." I'm wondering the same.

Accusations of biased press coverage

A blogger had this to say, "Is race a factor?" in regards to the Knoxville horror:

Still others see a more sinister hand at work. The suspects who have been apprehended for the horrific crime against those two young people are black; the victims were white. Many seem to think that the race of the alleged perpetrators is the issue. Had the perpetrators been white, and the victims black, they say, the case would be all over the television and newspapers. Many cite the much-publicized dragging death of James Byrd, Jr. as an example. Also troubling, according to some, is the contrast between the national media coverage of the alleged Duke rape case and this one. Visitors to the blogs I viewed also cited similarities between this case and the Wichita Massacre, a black-on-white rape/torture/murder in 2000, and other little-known cases as proof of a recent history of "blacking out" certain news stories.

See The Wichita Massacre by Stephen Webster, American Renaissance, July 16, 2002.

In addition, to quote from the West Virginia case where they can't press hate crime charges because the "victim" knew her captor, "She was not a random target, prosecutor Brian Abraham said Wednesday. She had a "social relationship" with one of the suspects, he said... The victim had a previous relationship with Bobby Brewster, one of the six in custody, Abraham said. He was charged in July with domestic battery and assault after a domestic dispute involving the same woman." This couple didn't know these people, so why doesn't hate crime charges not apply here?

Now they play the race card, trying to make anyone protesting this lack of media coverage as racist: "The Reverend Maize maintains, the NAACP trusts city leaders and police to handle what ever the trials or the case itself, might bring. "We don't have any counter marches or counter protests lined up. We don't want to ad fuel, to the fire, if they choose to come to town. We'll allow them to do what they're going to do...Nevertheless, at least one group, white supremacist or racially focused, depending on your prospective has vowed to rally here in several weeks. Later this month, though Knox County Mayor Mike Ragsdale will ask commissioners to pass a resolution requesting that group not come.

They came, and the national press covered that because they could make it out to be white racism. The end result of this is a growing backlash against all black people because many feel there's a double standard.
