KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WATE) A convicted murderer in the Christian-Newsom slayings was given two life sentences plus 90 years on Wednesday after previously being sentenced to life with the possibility of parole for all 18 murder convictions related to their deaths.
Eric Boyd was given two life sentences and 90 years in prison for aggravated rape, kidnapping and robbery in the murders of Channon Christian and Chris Newsom.
Last month, Boyd was found guilty on 36 charges following the deaths of Channon Christian and Chris Newsom. During his trial, Boyd received life sentences with the possibility of parole on all 18 murder convictions related to their deaths.
Boyd was the fifth and final person convicted in the murders, rapes and carjacking of the young couple in 2007.
Boyd was convicted in April 2008 of federal charges of accessory after the fact, not for the murders or rapes. He is the only suspect connected to the murders of Christain and Newsom tried at a federal level, the rest were convicted in state trials.
The families of Channon Christian and Chris Newsom were in the courtroom Wednesday and gave impact statements to detail the pain and suffering caused by the murders.

12 years to pass sentence, how long will the appeals drag on?
Out in 7 with good behavior...
Boyd will be appealing his conviction(s) from jail.
The whole lot of them... Cobbins, Davidson, Thomas, and Boyd should have been executed years ago.
What they did to Christian and Newsom was beyond heinous.
Agree. Horror of Christian/Newsom killings in focus: What happened on Chipman Street https://www.knoxnews.com/story/news/crime/2017/08/24/archives-horror-christian-newsom-killings-focus-what-happened-chipman-street/597805001/
25 for state or more, And another 10+ for Federal.
I base that on David Keene who Raped, Strangled with her own shoelaces till unconscious 8 yr old Ashley Nichole “Nikki” Read. 2 jury trials, DNA proof, wrapped her body in an old blanket, tossed her off the Wolf River boat dock to down. Crime happened in 1990, he just finished his state appeals, Federal haven’t started yet.
Another horrible crime story not widely made public. Then Memphis is full of such crime stories on a daily basis.
Tennessee they serve 1 day for crime 1 day off for good behavior, and jail time counts as part of it. IF you fight parole hearings.
