Tennessee Prosecutors Seek 77 Years For Kentucky Woman
KENTUCKY....
Tennessee prosecutors have filed a sentencing memorandum in Knox County, Kentucky asking that 22 year old Vanessa Coleman, of Lebanon, Ky. be sentenced to the maximum possible punishment of 77 years in prison after being convicted earlier this year as an accomplice in a January 2007 kidnapping, rape and murder of 21 year old Channon Christian. Coleman was acquitted of charges related to similar crimes committed against Christian's boyfriend, 23 year old Christopher Newsom. Tennessee prosecutors
have asked that the sentences on each charge be served consecutively, which would add up to a maximum of 77 years. Sentencing is set for July 30th.
