This guy was the second of four to be tried for the Christopher/Newsom murders. He is also considered to be the "ring leader". The first guy got life without the possibility of parole.
I am happy to say that I know nothing about this case...
This was one of the most brutal/heinous crimes I have ever heard about. I was living up north at the time, and people up there were outraged that it was never picked up by the national media.
There is a good (but VERY graphic) writeup in wikipedia if you search by her name. Please be warned, this is not for the faint of heart.
I agree...but that is not how it works, unfortunately
I see you are in TN. Have you seen the girl's dad? I think he should be left alone in a room with these people one at a time and see what he can do with them. He looks like a mad man that is about to explode at any moment. I can't say I blame him. I cannot imagine losing a child, much less the way these parents did. Now they are having to relive it through trials. It has been nearly three years since they were killed and there are still two trials to go.
I live just east of Nashville.. No I havent seen her dad.. I dont know how anyone could sit in the court room and have to hear someonee re play the events of thier loved ones death.. Without falling apart i would ne a basket case.

I Knoxville it is getting a lot of TV coverage and they interview the parents nearly everyday after court. Thought you may have seen him in some of this coverage.
Seems like it may not be getting much coverage anywhere outside of Knoxville.
Not sure why it never made national news. It involved kidnapping, rape, and two brutal murders.
Because it involved four black men assaulting and brutally murdering two white people. It was not "kosher" to report other than a footnote despite the animalistic nature of those involved. They should be hung from light posts by their fingers and burned alive.

I agree. These thugs need the most painful death possible.
