I come back from hours of digging dirt with shovels, directing a team of 5-12 year olds to do same on a volunteer gardening project , I’m tired, hungry and sore, and then I see this BS story.
Makes me sick to think good people will be keeping this crew alive on their hard earned tax money. Death penalty really needs to be overhauled. Forced labor might be a good idea as well for DR inmates , rather than just existing being useless eaters.
Well, here goes- The latest debacle is the defense, prompted by one of the killers and the accomplice , are now trying to drag said killer’s ex down with them.
Notice words they use like suspect, blame, etc., in reference to this ex-girlfriend, when THEY are the REAL , ACTUAL KILLERS.

From last link, prob the most accurate – Jennings and Stone counter in their response that the only people pointing fingers of blame at Sutton are Davidson and Coleman. All evidence in the case tends to exonerate her, the pair wrote.
Boyd, charged only as an accessory to the fatal carjacking for helping hide out Davidson following the kidnapping, rape, torture and slaying of Christian, 21, and Newsom, 23, is set to stand trial before U.S. District Judge Tom Varlan on Monday. Lomonaco is asking Varlan to toss out the case, arguing Sutton also helped Davidson avoid arrest and may even have played a role equal to that of Coleman in the slayings.
Grasping at straws diversionary tactic , typical OJ defense maneuver. Make a lot of noise about something else to distract from the rape, torture, setting on fire, drinking Drano, etc, etc. Create a new sh&tstorm, literally this is what defense attorneys are paid to do when the crime is so horrible, the attorneys have to become fiction writers. Stuck with a murder mystery where there is no mystery subplot or whodunit , even if said other angle does not take away one bit from defendants guilt, the defense creates one out of thin air- . Something else to think about rather than only thinking about all the horrific things these kids went through in their last hours/days. That is certainly what the defense does NOT want continually running through the jury’s minds. They want jurors with the attention span of goldfish. If I were the prosecution I would make sure to get every last bit of forensic evidence about what happened to them that I could. To jury , ” See these pictures? This mark right here? What do you think would have to happen to make such a mark on a person? See this charred mess? what do you think that is a picture of? This horrible picture once was a a boy . A boy named Chris Newsom. A girl named Channon Christian. What kind of animal would do this? Well, I’m going to tell you…”
Typical Diversionary OJ Defense BS
Blame Whitey, Whitey planted evidence, one of the killers dated Whitey, Whitey has an uncle that’s a cop, Whitey is getting out of being a suspect even-though-there-is-no-evidence-Whitey-was-there-or-knew-anything-or was-even-officially-dating-killer-at-the-time, Killer can’t be racist because he sleeps with Whitey, Whitey must have known things, even if Whitey wasn’t around and had dumped killer months ago, Whitey’s name is on a lease, Whitey has secrets, Whitey’s entire life and any sordid fact about Whitey will be dragged through the mud just to distract, O My Gawd, itz soo sexxy! We’ve got interracial, Eureka! We can use this!
