Where has the MSM been since the terrible crime described below was committed? Why have not Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton been excited like they were for the Duke Lacross players? And where is CNN, ABC and NBC to tell the nation about this one. What are they waiting for? This happened the end of January and have you heard about it yet?

The young couple was car-jacked, raped Christopher Newsom , cut off his penis, then set him on fire and fatally shot him several times while they forced his girlfriend, Channon Christian, to watch. Channon was beaten and gang-raped in many ways for four days by all of them, while they took turns urinating on her. Then they cut off her breast and put chemicals in her mouth ... And then murdered her. Read it:

Dozens of New Charges in Double Murder Case Announced Posted: 5:05 PM Feb 1, 2007. Last Updated: 11:40 AM Feb 8, 2007. Reporter: Whitney Daniel , WVLT Staff

Knoxville (WVLT) - The District Attorney General of Knox County announced the list of charges facing now five suspects in the double murder of Channon Christian and Christopher Newsom .

The District Attorney General Randy Nichols is not saying whether or not he will seek the death penalty, but he does say the State will seek conviction for all charges filed in a 24-page indictment from the Knox County Grand Jury.

Lemaricus Davidson, 25, faces a total of 46 charges. Davidson was indicted on 16 counts of Felony Murder growing out of rape, robbery kidnapping and theft of Channon Christian and Chris Newsom, 2 counts premeditated murder of Christian and Newsom, 2 counts especially aggravated robberies from Christian and Newsom, 4 counts especially aggravated kidnapping of Christian and Newsom, 20 counts aggravated rape of Christian and Newsom, and 2 counts of theft from Christian and Newsom.

Letalvis Cobbins, 24, faces a total of 46 charges. Cobbins was indicted on 16 counts of Felony Murder growing out of rape, Robbery kidnapping and theft of Channon Christian and Chris Newsom , 2 counts premeditated murder of Christian and Newsom, 2 counts especially aggravated robberies from Christian and Newsom, 4 counts especially aggravated kidnapping of Christian and Newsom, 20 counts aggravated rape of Christian and Newsom, and 2 counts of theft from Christian and Newsom.

George Thomas, 24, faces a total of 46 charges. Thomas was indicted on 16 counts of Felony Murder growing out of rape, robbery kidnapping and theft of Channon Christian and Chris Newsom, 2 counts premeditated murder of Christian and Newsom, 2 counts especially aggravated robberies from Christian and Newsom, 4 counts especially aggravated kidnapping of Christian and Newsom, 20 counts aggravated rape of Christian and Newsom, and 2 counts of theft from Christian and Newsom.

Just last night, police in Lebanon , Kentucky , arrested 18-year-old Vanessa Coleman. She faces 40 Tennessee state charges. Coleman was indicted on 12 counts Felony Murder growing out of rape, robbery kidnapping and theft of Channon Christian and Chris Newsom, 1 count Premeditated Murder of Christian only, 1 count Especially Aggravated Robbery of Newsom only, 4 counts especially aggravated kidnapping of Christian and Newsom, 20 counts of aggravated rape of Christian and Newsom and 2 Counts of theft from Christian and Newsom.

Eric Boyd, 24, also arrested in connection with the fatal carjacking, only faces federal charges as an accessory after the fact. He was not indicted by Knox county grand jury.

Felony Murder carries a possibility of death, life without the possibility of parole and life with parole. Especially Aggravated Robbery is a Class A felony that carries a possibility of 15 to 60 years in prison. Aggravated Rape is a Class A felony that carries a possibility of 15 to 60 years of prison.

At a news conference Thursday , Nichols commended the cooperative efforts between several departments and credits that cooperation for the fast pace this case is moving through the court system.

Nichols says he hopes to move the case to trial on the first day it's set.

The four are expected to make their first court appearance within ten to fifteen days.

This is certainly a case garnering a lot of public interest, Nichols recognizes that and says he expects all kinds of requests filed in this case, including a change of venue in order to receive a fair trial. But he says he does hope 12 Knox County jurors will be able to determine the guilt or innocence of these suspects.

Where are Reverends Al and Jesse on this evident hate crime? Are they providing counsel and help to the families of the victims? Why hasn't this received National coverage by the news media like the Duke "rape" case? Why hasn't the NAACP, ACLU, New York Times, etc., called for an investigation? Why hasn't the FBI been called in to investigate this as a hate crime?

That was some story! Very graphic and detailed for a daily newspaper.

Thank you for the links.

Knoxnews is where I generally get my info on this subject.

Too many race hate sites out there covering this, not enough respected ones.

[gitmo]

The Scopes link verifies the crime took place as described, but assumes there was no conspiracy to cover the story up.

Tennessee has had some legal problems with lethal injection as have other jurisdictions. The argument is that since a physician is not administering the injection it could be botched. To get around this Tennessee now offers condemned inmates a choice between injection or electrocution.

Is that a new one or the one that’s been out for a few months?

[eyedigress]

That had a grandfather clause. BTW

"The Scopes link verifies the crime took place as described, but assumes there was no conspiracy to cover the story up."

Yes, it's just a coincidence that the Duke False Rape and Jena 6 (wrongly reported) stories were national page one for weeks, but the Knoxville Horror was never ever mentioned outside of TN.

Wow, snopes was tap dancing like a dervish through that little explanation.

[eyedigress]

You have more resources outside of the State that could explain this. Ask Them WHY!

[wardaddy]

waiting for the FR Deniers Club to come along lamenting and high fiving any second..

[antiunion person]

I have two points to make.
1. Whites are afraid to offend someone and be thrown into the media lights. Sounds like our troops in Iraq. They would rather chance getting killed than be persecuted by both the military and the media for defending themselves. Xase in point, the 19 SEALS who died letting three sheep herders go.
2. God forbid if a white person protects themselves. The OTW (other than white) “victim” will sue the crap out of them and the media will castrate them.
Also, remember the LA riots and the white truck driver being ripped out of this truck and beaten. I would have stayed in the truck and ran the bastards over. The minorities cry for fairness and equality, but they are the first to cry if they aren’t given “more” than someone else.

[wardaddy]

Whites will not defend themselves in general. I do not understand why.

This one here sure will and has but I get your point. The sanctimonious "who me?" crowd will be along shortly to declare us aracists.

[cherry]

no the MSM is more in love with the 6 white hillybillies on meth who "captured" a black woman ....

that woman apparently was tortured , but she is ALIVE and she has all her body parts.....

[wardaddy]

But don’t you know?

Whites are killing blacks like crazy and hanging scary little nooses all over the place.

Speaking of the Jena Six, check this out:

[Brad from Tennessee]

Right. For those who committed their crime prior to 1999.

[Fishrrman]

This story has bothered me greatly. I don't know exactly why a crime as heinous as this goes nowhere. I live kinda close to the area and believe that this is a hate crime

If that story "bothered [you] greatly", then you ought to try reading THIS one:
