War crime victims Channon Christian and Christopher Newsom

“New TV Program About the Knoxville Horror.”]

I just watched the recording of the program on my DVR. People interviewed included prosecutor Leland Price, Jamie Satterfield, a novelist named Kalisha Buckhanon, and Jeffrey Gardere, who is a media talking head. Gardere was on In Session when they showed the Cobbins trial in late 2009.
The TV One show "For My Man" is an hour long with two stories 30 minutes each. Coleman is depicted as a nice middle class girl who falls for "bad boy" Letalvis Cobbins and was unaware of what she was getting into. Supposedly, Coleman didn't know about Chris. They infer he was kept in the trunk while Channon was brought into house, and was taken to the railroad tracks, tortured and killed there, while Vanessa was left alone with Channon.
Vanessa "went along by standing by her man" is the theme of the show. That Vanessa Coleman's family "stands by her and proclaims her innocence" is flashed on the screen at the end.
Overall, not a bad program, except for letting Coleman off (she had several chances to free Channon) too easy. Still, TV One deserves credit for doing a show on the crime. ABC 20/20, NBC Dateline, and CBS 48 Hours have not.

I had never heard of this case until reading about it here.Certainly Lester Holt would never carry a story like this on the Negro Broadcasting Center(NBC).I love it when they bring Al Roker on for weather...then change it up with Miguel Almaguer and another mex.Any white guys at NBC anymore?Katy Tur is the token white I guess.Amazing stuff.
ReplyDeleteLook at the mug shots of those beasts!!
ReplyDeleteVanessa cooked a hearty breakfast for the perpetrators [which they readily consumed with relish]. An indication of a depraved mentality and quite often a contributing factor when a jury decides to go with the death penalty.
TV One is repeating the Vanessa Coleman episode for the For My Man show at 2 am ET, early Friday morning June 15. It will be shown again on Monday afternoon, June 18 at 3 pm ET. The Coleman part takes up the first half hour.
ReplyDeleteIf you haven't seen it and are interested in the Knoxville Horror, you can set your DVR. This small black oriented channel is to be commended for doing a program on the Christian-Newsom case. None of the major networks have.
The ID Channel did a "Sins and Secrets" episode several years ago, which they no longer run. If anything, the TV One episode is better in spite of being half as long.
And the Knoxville Horror has another trial to come.
TV One is showing their "For MY Man" episode on Vanessa Coleman again Thursday Night, August 13, at 9 pm ET.
ReplyDeleteIt's on my Direct TV package. You told me back in 2015 TV One was on your Cable TV.
