The Case of Channon Christian and Chris Newsom

This week, Drewby and Yergy head to Tennessee to discuss the tragic case of Channon Christian and Chris Newsom, a lovely young couple from Knoxville that were kidnapped, tortured, sexually assaulted, and murdered. Four males and one female were arrested, charged, and convicted in the case. According to the Associated Press, some bloggers and media critics claimed that the national media ignored the murders because the victims were white while all five suspects were black. Most news reports came from local media and online news sites. Police Chief Sterling Owen IV said that there was no indication that the crimes were racially motivated. He said, "We have no evidence to support the notion that this was a race-based crime. We see this as a cold-blooded murder." However, some commentators disagreed, claiming that such a crime represented motives of racial hatred. The media circus that ensued overshadowed the senseless deaths of the two victims involved, Channon and Chris.
