Her re-trial did not help her. And the other three convictions stand. I wish these monsters a slow horrible death, and I hope they are disgraced in prison and live in fear of their lives everyday.

The other three trials have been put on indefinite hold. A new judge has been assigned to those trials. It is evident that Blackwood is not right in the mind to not only demand the retrials, but to treat those victims left behind, the Christian and Newsom families, as if they had no rights and that the animals in this case have more rights than they do. It is also evident that Blackwood needs to be permanently retired. The evidence in the trials were beyond a preponderance of a doubt that these animals did this to these bright young kids.<br /><br />David, your story brought back many memories of my having watched these trials on a daily basis. The pain and anguish of the families having to see their children in such condition was heartbreaking, to say the least.<br /><br />Deena and Gary, Mary and Hugh, know that you are in my constant thoughts and constant prayers each and every day. I love you guys. You are such wonderful people, and knowing you has brought a light into my life that only one other person has been able to give me, that being John.ASC_ETN_PGRnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6757696342634699253.post-14354370007322801642012-04-23T18:35:17.867-07:002012-04-23T18:35:17.867-07:00"An eye for an eye...".
You always hear..."An eye for an eye...". <br />You always hear the stories of how criminals have their own code of ethics. Why, then, have these animals not gotten what they deserve? Do the others in prison view this degradation as "okay"?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6757696342634699253.post-82950407702972812942012-03-26T09:19:12.589-07:002012-03-26T09:19:12.589-07:00thats the most horrible thing ive ever heard.

I'm a Black woman living in NC. I want something done. I cant stop crying and im so upset. I contacted the NAACP, aren't we all Americans seeking justice. Hopefully they will be respectable and supprt the families instead of running away like incompetent cowards. The Christian-Newsome families are definitely not receiving justice. Has anyone contacted credible talk shows such as Oprah or Dr. Phil? How about Nancy Grace, ID, 48 Hours etc...? This is a horrible thing. Race should not be an issue because it cloud the bigger picture-human torture and murder that may not receive due justice. I'm praying for the family and friends of the victims.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6757696342634699253.post-3647057950618559072012-03-08T22:05:19.578-08:002012-03-08T22:05:19.578-08:00I think they should all be placed in a field, with...I think they should all be placed in a field, with an inescapable fence around it, and no water;<br /><br />then they should be set on fire, one each day;<br /><br />the 'ringleader' can go be set on fire last.<br /><br />Let them die of starvation and their wounds in each other's company.

His trial was the most brutal for the victims' families.

Blackwood said that the trials would again be held in Knoxville, with juries (including the one for Davidson) from somewhere else.<br /><br />David In TNAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6757696342634699253.post-72358980490079378912012-01-08T08:10:30.891-08:002012-01-08T08:10:30.891-08:00Having watched the trials, I have to say that, in ...Having watched the trials, I have to say that, in spite of his impairment, former Judge Baumgartner seemed to make the correct rulings.<br /><br />I hope that the appeal is successful and that there are no new trials to come.<br /><br />The Christian and Newsome families don't need to go through these awful trials again.

I can't believe they have to endure going through four trials again. Hopefully, though, maybe some of the defendants will realize that in all probability they will be found guilty again, and plead out. I hope that Davidson gets the death penalty again. I feel that all four of these defendants deserved the death penalty. <br /><br />This case has given me nightmares, I can't imagine what it has done to the families and friends of the victims.<br /><br />Judge Baumgarterner really needs to spend some time in jail and I really think he should apologize to the Christian and Newsom families for his actions. <br /><br />JMO, MHO, and all other disclaimers.Tezihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00337768598187809674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6757696342634699253.post-2351894755096453122012-01-07T17:06:33.499-08:002012-01-07T17:06:33.499-08:00My heart goes out to the Christians and Newsoms. ...My heart goes out to the Christians and Newsoms.
