"A woman juror, however, bowed out after Friday’s graphic photographic evidence of the couple’s rape injuries."

Poor woman was overcome by the sadistic animals behavior...this is one of the most brutal and heinous hate crimes in history...but no one is calling it that...this is an outrage...wonder why Eric Holder isn't talking about this to us cowards? Probably a very "teachable moment" for America...

I don’t get it. Where does the “hate crime” element come in? And also, since when are conservatives in favor of that classification in crimes?

These “people” cut off the boyfriend's penis, set him on fire and then shot him. What they did to the girl was worse. Why is the MSM not reporting this brutal an heinous crime?

“I don’t get it. Where does the “hate crime” element come in? And also, since when are conservatives in favor of that classification in crimes?”

Where did I say I was in favor of it? When it is white on black, it’s called a “hate crime” when it’s black on white, as in this case, it isn’t...don’t bother to keep up and don’t put words in my mouth...and no, you don’t “get it” do you?

The "teachable moment" boils down to this: The good, upstanding citizens in America no longer rule the roost, and their values and norms are being replaced. We all live in the ghetto now, and our lives have little value according to our rulers. This crime, like the thousands of other B-on-W hate crimes that occur across our land are merely the result of a racist, oppressive society, and hey, who can condemn this bright young man for lashing out at his oppressors?

It's little social vignettes like this one, repeated over and over, that make social upheaval and Civil War more palatable to the common man on the street. Really now, what other recourse is there when it is open season on you and your family simply due to your skin tone?

I would advise you to read more into this ungodly crime. To white college kids were carjacked, kidnapped, raped, tortured and killed by several black people. The details of what they did to those kids are unspeakable, this is a blatant hate crime as liberals define it and would have been prosecuted as such if the races were reversed.

Since the victims are white, this has gotten virtually NO mainstream media coverage.

“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...”

Christian was left to suffocate to death in a trash can inside the home.

They sprayed the inside of her mouth with bleach to destroy evidence of oral sex, wrapped her in the fetal position with duct tape, put her in a plastic bag and left her in the can to slowly suffocate.

I have absolutely no concern for the race of any of the people involved. For a crime like this, regardless of race, I would happily get out the needle-nose pliers, the Drano, and the electric drill with the concrete bit. If even one of these bastards ever sees daylight again, it should only be long enough to kiss their ass goodbye before they eat a .50 caliber slug.

“The panel from Davidson County deliberated about seven and a half hours Monday, ending the day without a verdict “

What’s taking so long?

What’s the racial make up of the jury?

I'm guessing they are under a lot of pressure to come up with something that won't be "inflammatory."

Given the length of time they are spending on this verdict, I wonder what the Species make up is....

The difference between crime and justice is that the former is brutal, sadistic and enjoyed by the actors, the latter is done with regret and displeasure, knowing that punishment of crime is a regrettable duty that civilized men must firmly perform to insure peace and tranquility.

Your response is little different that the crime in question. Execute them quickly and humanely if the jury decides to, and do it knowing that the final justice is left to the Almighty.

Hate the crime, punish the criminal, enjoy neither.

God Bless

They sure whitewashed the description of the crime in that story.

I read the other day that there are only 2 whites on the jury.

“Cobbins has admitted raping Christian inside the house, although he testified Saturday that she offered him the oral sex if he could help ensure her freedom.”

Adding insult to grievous injury, this POS demeans his victim once again by uttering this statement.
I hope he burns in hell.

He’ll probably get probation and community service.

We all know why!

The MSM dares not report (or identify) horrendous actions by blacks and other minorities (even if factually true and repetitive)because it would be profiling,and BECAUSE they are concerned with white awareness of how prevalent, nationally, the crimes are. This of course would lead to more white prejudice against minorities. (Go back to you trailer, Honky, we're saving you from yurselves./s)

“What’s the racial make up of the jury?”

NASHVILLE - A jury has been seated in the trial of torture-slaying suspect Letalvis Cobbins.

His fate will be decided by five black women, two black men, two white women, two white men and one Asian man.

It took only a few minutes for both sides to settle on four alternates. They are all male. One is black. Three are white.

The jurors will report to the Metro courthouse in Nashville on Sunday afternoon to be bused to Knox County, where they will be sequestered throughout the trial.

Earlier today, an attorney for Cobbins told jurors it was his brother and an uncharged buddy who killed Channon Christian and Christopher Newsom.
