A fourth Guilty verdict in Knoxville

George Thomas guilty

Another of the five people accused of the rape torture and murder of Christopher Newsom and Channon Christian was found guilty in Knoxville today

Jurors in the George Thomas double-murder trial found Thomas guilty of first degree felony murder Tuesday afternoon, making Thomas eligible for the death penalty.

He was also found guilty of all rape, robbery and theft charges.

The judge decided to send the jury back to their hotel for the rest of the day and begin the sentencing phase of the trial on Wednesday.

Thomas's murder conviction follows that of Letalvis "Rome" Cobbins and Lemaricus "Slim" Davidson and the earlier conviction of Reic DeWayne "E" Boyd who was found guilty of being an accessory. The final defendant Vanessa Coleman will be tried at a later date.

One Knoxville Horror Killer Sentenced To Death—But The Time-Bomb Is Ticking

Lemaricus Davidson

It is often said that what happens in America today will happen here tomorrow, however, given that in America we are currently seeing increasingly violent hate crimes committed against the white population, a media which censors all news of these crimes, and a judiciary which appears to side with the non-white perpetrators of such crimes against whites, some may conclude that we are already there.

A really horrific anti white hate crime was the 2007 murder of a young white couple called Christopher Newsom and Channon Christian, for which the five black accused are currently being tried separately. the following article by Nicholas Stix of V-Dare addresses the outcome of the latest of these trials, and the only one so far to have resulted in a death sentence, despite strenuous efforts on the part of the judge to protect the defendant, from receiving the ultimate penalty.


One Knoxville Horror Perp Sentenced To Death—But The Time-Bomb Is Ticking

In the second Knoxville Horror murder trial, only one penalty could spell justice for the victims of Lemaricus Davidson, the man who with an indeterminate number of accomplices carjacked, kidnapped, gang-raped, beat, sexually tortured and murdered Channon Christian, 21, and Christopher Newsom, 23: Death.

And death was indeed the sentence finally meted out to Davidson on Friday afternoon, by seven male and five female jurors.

Two days earlier, the jury had convicted Davidson on 35 out of 38 state felony charges.

The trial was a defeat for Knox County Criminal Court Judge Richard H. Baumgartner, who had again sought to subvert justice and save Davidson from the executioner’s needle, as he had earlier saved Davidson’s convicted accomplice and half-brother, Letalvis Cobbins.

In Cobbins’ August trial, Judge Baumgartner had abused the jury selection process, in order to rig the sentencing options. Although the victims were both white, and the assailants had committed the atrocity in a jurisdiction that is 88 percent white and only 8.8 percent black, Baumgartner went to 27.5 percent black Davidson County, to fetch a majority-black jury, which he bused in to Knox County. That jury convicted Cobbins of 33 out of 38 felony charges, but sentenced him only to “life without parole”.

In Gomer Pyle’s immortal words, Surprise, surprise, surprise!

But in Davidson’s trial, Judge Baumgartner was confounded by the defendant himself, who insisted on being tried before a Knox County jury. (Davidson's defense attorneys wouldn't say why.)Hence, only one juror was black.

But the judge had a last trick left up his sleeve.
