KNOXVILLE - A jury this afternoon convicted Lemaricus Davidson of first-degree murder in the January 2007 torture slayings of a Knox County couple.
Davidson, 26, faces a potential death sentence for the deaths of University of Tennessee student Channon Christian, 21, and her boyfriend Christopher Newsom, 23.
Jurors will consider his punishment in a separate proceeding that will begin Thursday. The jurors also could choose life without parole or life in prison, a mandatory 51-year sentence.

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now fry this animal.
Well, if he does not get the death penalty, there is no reason to have one. One could not imagine a more heinous crime or a more evil criminal.
He’ll be sentenced to community service as a Dem poll watcher in 2012.
You have to search a bit on the internet to find a picture of the convicted criminal. That explains why the media is suppressing all news of this and scrapping the picture. Also the media is not calling this a hate crime.
We can only hope for some measure in justice in this.
This was, possibly the most vicious and inhuman crime I’ve ever read about. There is not one reason society should support this guy and give him even one more breath...
I noticed they they did not publish a photo of the murders in your link.
What are these dirt bags still doing alive?
2 down, 3 to go ... the woman is trying to get immunity.
Agreed - just reading about this crime makes my stomach turn and feel physically ill. I don’t know how their parents and families go on each day knowing what happened to their loved ones.
If this isn’t a clear case for the death penalty, then there isn’t one.
Great, now execute this rotten bastard.
I live in Chicago. There is a complete media blackout on this story here.
What in their lives forced them to commit such a heinous crime? Truly horrible!
The sorry state of journalism diminishes us all, because of political correctness no one really does the investigative reporting that this case demands.
Really???? Why don’t you write to the editor of local papers and raise cain. Write to any conservative author with any of the papers and ask them to cover the details of this case. That is disgusting! Some would call it racist.
No lawful punishment would be adequate for these monsters.
I WONDER WHERE CHARLES GIBSON, KATIE COURIC, WOLF BLITZER AND BRIAN WILLIAMS (OR MADDOW, OLBERMANN OR MATTHEWS) ARE ON THIS????
THE JENA 6 HOAX AND DUKE LACROSSE CASES HAD WEEKS AND MONTHS OF COVERAGE
WHERE ARE YOU, MSM?
I GUESS WHEN A TRUE HATE CRIME COMES, YOU SHY AWAY, PUSHING MORE A FOOTBALL COACH THAT USES THE WORD FOR ENGLISH CIGARETTE
LIES, BIAS
I HATE THE MSM WITH A PASSION
Here’s to Lemaricus’ future as a conductor.

That number should jump shortly.
This is a “TORTURE CRIME”... far worse than a hate crime.
Vermin who torture and their accomplices should
be sent to the torture chamber....
Or even worse... the waterboard chamber. /s
