Knoxville Horror: Davidson and Cobbins Cases Will be in Limbo for Months!

By David in TN

It will be months before Judge Jon Kerry Blackwood will decide whether he will step down from the Knoxville Horror torture-murder case of Channon Christian and Christopher Newsom.

Meanwhile, Blackwood has reversed his previous order giving new trials to Lemaricus Davidson and Letalvis Cobbins, pending a review of the transcripts of their trials. A hearing for these two cases is set for August 17.

A hearing concerning the Knox County DA's request for Blackwood's recusal is set for October 8.

The order granting a new trial for George Thomas still stands.

The motions have not included Vanessa Coleman, the fourth defendant. Her trial is still set for November.
