A Knox County jury on Tuesday declared Eric Boyd guilty in the 2007 murders of Channon Christian and Christopher Newsom.
The seven-woman, five-man jury had deliberated since Monday before returning its verdict of first-degree murder in the Knox County Criminal Court trial on Tuesday afternoon.
The verdict carries an automatic life sentence for each of the two slayings. Judge Bob McGee will decide at a Sept. 18 sentencing hearing whether those two life sentences should be stacked one onto the other and what, if any, extra punishment Boyd should receive for the related crimes, including kidnapping and rape.
Boyd is the fifth defendant to stand trial in the slayings of Christian, 21, and Newsom, 23.
'We made a promise to Chris'
The Knox County couple were preparing to go on a date when they were carjacked and kidnapped and taken to the house of Lemaricus Davidson. Both were bound, gagged and blindfolded.
Newsom was raped, shot three times and his body set afire alongside nearby railroad tracks within hours of the kidnapping. Christian was held captive inside the Chipman Street house for 36 hours, repeatedly raped, forced to swallow bleach in a bid to destroy DNA evidence of those rapes and then stuffed — alive — inside a trash can in the kitchen. She slowly suffocated to death.

Court TV is back on the air and covered this one live.
Everyone of these POS should fry. That it has taken this long to get to this point is almost criminal.
Just the Merkun Criminal Jesters System mocking the peasants...
No doubt, melanometric privilege has been invoked!
Should get the Death Penalty.
This crime was satanic. The fact that we keep such people alive afterwards is scary..... sick does not begin to describe it.
What channel? Is it on YouTube? Is it called CourtTV?
This is another one that didn’t get a lot of attention back when it happened in Wichita, KS:
(from Wiki)
The Carr brothers, 22-year-old Reginald and 20-year-old Jonathan of Dodge City, already had lengthy criminal records when they began their spree. On December 8, 2000, having recently arrived in Wichita, they robbed Andrew Schreiber, a 23-year-old assistant baseball coach. On December 11, three days later, they shot and mortally wounded 55-year-old cellist and librarian Ann Walenta as she tried to escape from them in her car. Walenta died three days after the shooting.
Their crime spree culminated on December 14, when the Carrs invaded the home at 12727 E Birchwood Drive and proceeded to rob and sexually abuse three men and two women, murdering four of them. The brothers broke into a house chosen nearly at random where Brad Heyka, Heather Muller, Aaron Sander, Jason Befort and his girlfriend, a young woman identified as “Holly G.,”[6] all in their twenties, were spending the night. They were all working adults; Befort was a local high school teacher, Heyka a director of finance with a local financial services company, Muller a local preschool teacher and Sander a former financial analyst who had been studying to become a priest. Holly is a teacher.
The Carrs initially scoured the house for valuables. Befort had intended to propose to Holly, and she found this out when the Carrs discovered an engagement ring hidden in a popcorn box. After burglarizing the house, the Carrs forced their hostages to strip naked and then bound them. They then repeatedly raped the two women, and forced the men to engage in sexual acts with the women and the women with each other. They drove the victims to ATMs to empty their bank accounts, before taking them to the deserted Stryker Soccer Complex on the outskirts of town. There they shot all five execution-style in the back of their heads. The Carr brothers drove Befort’s truck over the bodies and left them for dead.
Holly G. survived her head wound at the soccer field because her plastic barrette deflected the bullet. After the killers left, she walked naked for more than a mile in freezing weather to seek first aid and shelter at a house. Before getting medical treatment, she reported the incident and descriptions of her attackers to the couple who took her in, before the police arrived.
The Carrs had returned to the house to ransack it for more valuables, and while there beat Holly’s dog Nikki with a golf club.[7] The next day the police captured the Carr brothers. Reginald was identified by both Schreiber and the dying Walenta. The District Attorney said that, based on evidence in the case, the Carrs’ motive was robbery.[1]
With the help of Holly’s testimony at the trial, the Carr brothers were convicted of nearly all 113 counts against them, including kidnapping, robbery, rape, four counts of capital murder, and one count of first-degree murder. Reginald Carr was convicted of 50 counts and Jonathan Carr of 43. They were each sentenced to death for the capital murders, as well as to life in prison, with decades to serve before being eligible for parole.[4] Their cases were appealed.
“Everyone of these POS should fry.”
Burned alive...not the electric chair.
Yep, it’s open season on whites. When will we fight back? Constructively, of course.
We moved to the Knoxville area soon after these murders. The sadness in the atmosphere was pervasive, and lasted for years. It was like a punch in the gut to everyone, even those who didn’t know the kids.
I doubt they RIP but prayers for their immortal souls
I remember that case. There was a t.v. show about it we watched.
It’s on a local antenna station.
You can live stream it on Courttv.com
Makes one want to “do eomething” doesn’t it?
