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.

Outside the area (though not that far, Tx.)
and this torture/murder haunted me for months. What was done to these two young kids was sadistic madness. Even the ME was overcome with nausea at what was discovered.
The rabid dogs should be put down (period)
I had read about these murders when they happened. I have never read such brutality before and their story made me physically illl. Everyone involved should have received the death penalty years ago. And they should have been punished quickly.
He told victim’s family, “I’ll be out.”
And right on top of a fire ant colony..........
I’d have responded, “We hope so. Sleep well.”
I’m glad, at least, that these animals were convicted.
So glad this wasn’t a hate crime or racist in any way.
I also felt actually physically I’ll after reading about it.
Ill
Not enough but good.
Cases like this make me want to get some isis executioners to deal with the perps.
Hang his ass.
Why not evisceration with a dull knife?
When they fail to execute they are forcing us to take matters into our own hands, I cant imagine a family member satisfied with this outcome.
Since reparations are currently in style, why shouldn’t all relatives of the convicted murderers be held liable for all incarceration expenses?
and I despise the judiciary
Why? Consecutive is better than concurrent.
We moved to west Knoxville area in 2010, and it was like it had happened that very month. People still cry when they talk about it all these years later. Horrific.
Well, The stinking lawyers got to eat too..! :(
