I'm sure many of you remember reading about the horrific rapes and murders of Tennessee residents Channon Christian and Christopher Newsom in the spring of 2007. Well, after many delays and court hearings, the first trial of a main defendant is
set to commence on August 11th.
George Thomas, the only male defendant whom there appears to be no DNA evidence linking him the the crime, filed a motion for a speedy trial in April, and that motion was granted this past May. I wonder what's happening to him in the Tennessee jail he's currently being held at?
I can't imagine the DNA evidence (or lack thereof) will get him off, as the DA still has Vanessa Coleman's confession placing him at the home the crimes were committed at - but who knows, I'm not a lawyer, and more I've seen more fucked up shit than this. I'll keep you all posted as to the outcome in August.
Trial dates for the remaining defendants are as follows:
Latalvis Cobbins: January 26, 2009.
Vanessa Coleman: April 13, 2009.
Lemaricus Davidson: June 22, 2009.
Eric Boyd, who was tried only as an accessory in the case, has already been found guilty and is awaiting sentencing.
