Wednesday morning the most interesting testimony came from Lemaricus Davidson's girlfriend Daphne Sutton. She testified that Davidson had called her Sunday morning and asked her to come by and get some clothes that he had "bought" for her. When she arrived she took the items in a Penney's bag only to find out later they were used clothing and too big for Daphne. She says when she was going into the bathroom to pick up some personal items, he stopped her and wouldn't let her enter. In Cobbins trial it was discovered that while Daphne was at the house, Channon was being held by Coleman in the bathroom.

Daphne testified that Eric "E" Boyd was there that morning and that she didn't like him, because Davidson had told her that Boyd did not like white people. She told what she knew about the guns kept at the house and was fully aware that Davidson sold drugs and robbed small businesses as his way of making a living.

Kassie Suttles, one of the girls Daphne was staying with, said that Davidson showed up on Monday evening about 10:30pm and spent the night. The news of Newsom's body being found by the railroad tracks was all over the news on Tuesday. Having seen Davidson in a car matching the Toyota and weighing out all of the other information, she asked him to leave (she was facing her own day in court for marijuana sales, and didn't need involved in a murder).
.
Two cell phone experts testimony consisted of explaining the cell tower positioning and pings. The last call on Channon's phone was to her dad at 12:33am on January 7 and cell phone records show the call was made from the Chipman house. That phone call pinged from the Cherry Hill tower, which is how the family was able to find her car so soon, they started searching a grid of the Cherry Hill tower service area.
.
Barney Waggoner, ATF, testified about the arrest of Cobbins, Thomas and Coleman in Franklin, Kentucky at the apartment of Stacy Lawson, George Thomas' girlfriend. They confiscated her computer and a search of the house found Channon Christian's purse there, the one Coleman said Davidson had given her. He stated that the house was messy and they collected numerous items, including brass knuckles. In yesterday's testimony, one of the defense attorney's confronted her about a letter she had written to Davidson after the murders and arrests, one where she tells him that she wants to have sex with him...
