The first of four defendants in the carjacking, rape and murder of a young Tennessee couple has been sentenced to life in prison without parole by the same jury that convicted him of murder.

The sentence for 26-year-old Letalvis Cobbins of Lebanon, Ky., was announced in Knoxville after less than three hours of jury deliberation Wednesday. Cobbins took a deep breath and then sat down after the jury foreman finished delivering the sentence.

The jury convicted Cobbins on Tuesday in the January 2007 attack on 21-year-old Channon Christian and her 23-year-old boyfriend Christopher Newsom, both of Knoxville

Earlier Wednesday Christian's parents pleaded for a death sentence for the torture their daughter suffered. Cobbins' sisters and cousins from Memphis begged the jury for mercy.

No, they have to coddle the murdering “Blood Monkeys”(murdering savages) for they may upset the gangsta yos and hos in da hood. This was far beyond a hate crime and yet the media ignored the facts.

They should all recieve a slow death sentence by being hacked to death with a rusty machete.

They will all probably get life and convert to Isdem in prison. They are all laughing at “they got over on Whitey one more time.”

They stack the juries with their skin in the game bros and hos to include race traitor self hating caucasians who think of the perps as victims instead of murderers.

If the perps had killed an “Old School” couple, then justice would already have been done to the 4 POS chongos.

People in Tennesse need to stand up to this outrage for imagine if this had been a black couple raped/murdered by some white guys.

I rest my case. AppyPappy, it is nice to see another American Patriot on this site who will not turn the other cheek in the name of commie liberalism.

Respectfully,
Molon Labe, NSNR

We just don’t do it as well here in Tennessee as they do in Texas.

There were a lot of specific details about their torture, that might or might not have been true. The undeniable truths are more than horrific, as laid out by the M.E.

Even if one does (and I think one may), the sentence will never be carried out. It’s a travesty.

Yes, the “down low” is an urban euphemism for gay sex.
