Anna Nicole Smith is dead. And so are these two people.

And I know which should be on the news and which shouldn't be.







Four of the suspects in the deaths of Channon Christian and Chris Newsom are now facing state charges.



Knox County District Attorney General Randy Nichols released the 46-count indictment late Thursday.

"We're about to embark on our best efforts to see that this case moves to trial on the first day that it is set," Nichols said. "We will be prepared, and we anticipate putting our best foot forward and seeking conviction on every count levied in this indictment."

Last month, police say Christian and Newsom were carjacked, kidnapped and murdered.

Newsom's shot and burned body was found near railroad tracks off Cherry Street.

Days later, Christian's body was found inside a Chipman Street house.

The three male suspects -- Lemaricus Davidson, Letalvis Cobbins, George Thomas -- are facing 46 counts each in the indictment.

They are:

- 16 counts of felony murder, which carries possible penalties of death, life without parole or life with parole.

- 2 counts of premeditated murder, which carries possible penalties of death, life without parole or life with parole.

- 2 counts of aggravated robbery, a Class A felony carrying a possible penalty of 15 to 60 years.

- 4 counts of aggravated kidnapping, a Class A felony carrying a possible penalty of 15 to 60 years.

- 20 counts aggravated rape of Christian and Newsom, a Class A felony carrying a possible penalty of 15 to 60 years.

- 2 counts theft.

The latest suspect, 18-year-old Vanessa Coleman, was arrested Wednesday night in Lebanon, Ky.

She is the woman who was identified in search warrants as saying she saw Channon Christian alive in the Chipman Avenue house where her body was eventually found last month.

Coleman also allegedly told investigators she saw Christian's mouth being washed out with some sort of household cleaning solution.

Coleman additionally said she saw blood-stained clothing that smelled like gasoline being placed in the house's washing machine.

Coleman is facing 40 counts in the indictment.

They are:

- 12 counts felony murder, carrying possible penalties of death, life without parole or life with parole.

- 1 count premeditated murder in the death of Channon Christian, carrying possible penalties of death, life without parole or life with parole.

- 1 count aggravated robbery of Chris Newsom, a Class A felony carrying a possible penalty of 15 to 60 years.

- 4 counts aggravated kidnapping, a Class A felony carrying a possible penalty of 15 to 60 years.

- 20 counts aggravated rape of Christian and Newsom, a Class A felony carrying a possible penalty of 15 to 60 years.

- 2 counts theft.

Vanessa Coleman is expected to be extradited to Tennessee within one week.

All of the suspects are expected to be arraigned on the new charges within seven to 10 days.

District Attorney General Randy Nichols says he does not yet know whether he'll seek the death penalty.

The other suspect, Eric Boyd, is not named in the indictment.

However, he is still facing federal charges of being an accessory to a crime.

Davidson, Cobbins and Thomas also are facing federal charges.

Just an FYI, I'm looking around about the murders here.

I am giving a warning. Do NOT do a search about this unless you are sure you can handle it.

What was done to these two people is horrific.

What happened to those people is almost as bad as what happened to these poor folks...

Christians REALLY need to fight back. Interesting 2nd Amendment angle on this story too. The girl had a chance to use a gun to save her life but she "didn't know how to work it". As a side note, this story too, received next to no coverage.

All the more reason to carry, and to see to it our loved ones stay safe.

Ditto on that, and if you carry one, carry two. The one time your gun will fail is the time you need it the most, have a back up!!!

If you're convinced that individuals in a civilized country can't get any worse, do a search on Utah Hi-Fi Murders. Caution, both cases mentioned above are relatively tame by comparison. Even without the encouragement of the government to motivate them, as has happened seemingly almost without interruption over the past hundred years, the depravity and sadism of humans is truly limitless. As a wise humorist once penned, "he who goes unarmed in paradise had better be sure that is where he is."
