New Trials in Knoxville Horror Case

By David in TN (4:04 p.m.)

Judge Mischief's (Baumgartner) betrayal was far worse than we ever suspected. When attending the Coleman trial I saw the judge nod off at least once, and he sometimes seemed out of it.

It must be remembered that Baumgartner went far out of his way to favor the defendants when picking the jury pool. Cobbins and Coleman had Nashville juries, Thomas’ was from Chattanooga, and Davidson insisted on Knox County. [N.S.: That is why Davidson got the sentenced to death. The other juries were stacked with racist blacks, which is why Baumgartner chose those jurisdictions for jury-shopping.] He probably won't next time.

The prosecutors, Takisha Fitzgerald especially, were sharper on the evidence with each succeeding trial.

You will remember that Cobbins testified in his trial, very much against the wishes of his attorneys. With any kind of responsible jury it would have put him on death row. Unfortunately the Nashville jury bussed in by Baumgartner had no intention of giving a death sentence.

I assume Cobbins testimony can be played in his next trial. Can it? It canceled out the defense his attorneys had carefully prepared for him.

Cobbins testimony is even on the internet. It alone makes him guilty.

By the way, Cobbins whined again today about being beaten in prison.
