Christopher Newsom's name will not be on the indictment when Vanessa Coleman is tried for a second time.

If Coleman's attorney, Ted Lavitt, has his way, it will be as if Chris Newsom never existed.

Vanessa Coleman is the only defendant whose retrial the state has not attempted to block. She was acquitted of every charge regarding Newsom, and of facilitation only, in the murder of, and other crimes perpetrated against Channon Christian.

P.S. May 18, 2012, 8:56 p.m.: During Coleman’s August, 2010, sentencing hearing, in which she was sentenced to 53 years in prison, she smirked and winked at her friends, family, and supporters in the courtroom.
