Baumgartner was the judge presiding over the trial for the thugs who raped, tortured, and murdered Channon Christian, 21, and Christopher Newsom, 23. The whole time he was obtaining sex and pills from a druggie that he illegally kept out of jail.

Great news about Baumgartner, but there’s still no justice for Christian and Newsom.

Maybe we could drop this Baumgartner from the edge of space, only without the parachute.

This dude ^^^ was getting sex? I assume he was paying handsomely for it then!

Hydrocodone, oxycodone, and oxycontin.

Hydrocodone with acetaminophen (Vicodin). Number of prescriptions in the US in 2010 - 131.2 million.

DEA production quota for oxycodone, 2012, 108 tons.

Oxycontin has been reformulated to make it harder to abuse by snorting or injecting, so is being replaced as an abused pharmaceutical of choice by oxymorphone, brand name Opana.

I can’t believe that this case is still dragging out. What is the problem with the prosecution’s case? I thought that this was an open and closed case.

Now it’s up to Judge Greer to uphold the conviction with an appropiate sentence. An article in KNS a couple days ago had Greer saying the entire case was week. http://www.knoxnews.com/news/2012/oct/29/judge-tosses-one-charge-against-richard-baumgarthe/ That’s got me kinda concerned it might factor into a light sentence.
