I recall that this murder was covered by the media. I have seen these photos before.

Here is one article:

From:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Channon_Christian_and_Christopher_Newsom

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.

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.

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.

Vanessa Coleman, 18, was arrested by police 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.

Further, Eric DeWayne “E” Boyd, 34, was arrested in connection with the fatal carjacking, though not indicted by the Knox County grand jury. Still, Boyd is charged in federal court as an accessory after the fact for helping the suspects evade the police. Later, Boyd was accused by Thomas and Cobbins of rape and murder, and a search warrant was obtained for his DNA. The accusations have not resulted in charges.

The four suspects indicted in Knox County will be tried separately, at trials scheduled between May and August of 2008. Davidson has also been indicted for a second robbery which was committed after the murders. District Attorney Randy Nichols announced in December of 2007 that the state would be seeking the death penalty for Cobbins if convicted.

Boycott the lying MSM. They are nothing but a propaganda outlet for the DNC and ACLU.

You mean our media but not the nation media that most of America sees.

Remember this outrage; it was New Year's Eve, I think. . .Have wondered since; 'what happened'. . .I know what happened and 'why' to the MSM coverage. . .but beyond that? Where did 'O'Reilly' go on this one. . .Sean - and Alan. . .What about GRETA? What about the Congresscritters in Tennessee?

The pain and suffering; the degradation; the hideousnous of this crime begs for more light - more Justice, on behalf of these two victims - and all who knew and loved them. This 'evil'; demands more redress; on behalf of all good people.

And for certain; Al Sharpton deserves to be heard. . .'O'Reilly' we know, has his number. . .

Mother Cobbins-Davidson must sure be proud of her boys.

This whole case should be quickly ended with one fully loaded 10mm semi-auto.

When were talking “covered” we mean the kind of coverage that would have happened it the victims had been black and the assailants, white.
