This article was in the Sunday Cincinnati Enquirer as well.
As a folow up to the above article I received the following email that seems to be from around the time they were charged.
Not even a CRUMB as much publicity as the Trayvon Martin case.
As horrible as this is, it needs to be widely circulated.The animals below car-jacked then raped Christopher Newsom, cut off his penis, set him on fire and shot him to death while they forced his girlfriend, Channon Christian, to watch. An even more cruel fate awaited her.
She was beaten and gang-raped in many ways for four days by all of them, while they took turns urinating on her. They then cut off her breasts and put chemicals in her mouth... and murdered her.
VICTIMS:
Couldn't get the pictures to work
PERPS:
Couldn't get the pictures to work
Knoxville (WVLT) - The District Attorney General of Knox County announced the list of charges now facing the 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. Letalvis Cobbins, 24 , faces a total of 46 charges. George Thomas, 24, faces 46 charges. Vanessa Coleman,18, faces 40 Tennessee state charges. Eric Boyd, 24, arrested in connection with the fatal car jacking, only faces federal charges as an accessory after the fact.
So . . . where is Al Sharpton, President Obama and Jesse Jackson?
Are they providing counsel and help to the families of the victims?
No - the victims were white
Why hasn't this received national coverage like the "Duke rape case"?
Oh, that's right - the victims were white
Why hasn't the NAACP, ACLU, New York Times, etc., called for an investigation? The victims were white.
Why hasn't the FBI been called in to investigate this as a hate crime?
Because the victims were white.
When a white radio shock jock uses the phrase 'Nappy-headed Ho', it got 2 weeks of constant news coverage and cost the announcer his job.
But when a white couple is tortured, raped and murdered by a black gang,
it gets barely a passing blip on the local news -- and NO MENTION AT ALL on the national evening news.
Pass this around, and maybe it will land in the hands of someone in the media or politics who has the guts to stand up and recognize the unfairness of this Racism.

They were debating this morning on the radio if the Zimmerman trial should be televised. I was thinking to myself, it already has been............... sad world we are living in.
