KNOXVILLE (WATE) — In testimony Friday for the trial of a man accused as an accessory in a couple’s double murder, the girlfriend of another suspect claimed one of the murder victims was forced to shoot the other.
Daphne Sutton is the former girlfriend of Lemaricus Davidson. He and four others are charged with murdering the couple in January 2007.
The man on trial as an accessory to the murders is Eric Boyd.
Soon after the murders, Sutton told investigators Davidson claimed the suspects had forced Channon Christian to shoot her boyfriend Christopher Newsom, who was found dead with multiple gunshot wounds.
Sutton testified that she didn’t know about the murders when Davidson stayed with her and her friend, Cassie Suttle, for 24 hours after the couple was killed.
However, when defense attorney Phil Lomonaco read from Sutton’s statements to police soon after the murders, he pointed out contradictions and said she repeatedly lied.
Sutton initially claimed her mother called her after Newsom’s body was found on January 7 and that her uncle, a Knoxville police officer, had called her mother.
But Sutton later claimed her mother called her two days later, after Christian’s body was found in the Chipman Street house where she and Davidson had lived together.
The defense attorney wanted to know why Sutton let Davidson stay with her after she had admitted to investigators she found a gun and a key to the Chipman Street house in his pocket, contradicting his claim that he was locked out.?
Sutton admitted on the stand she had lied about details of the case and was afraid for her safety.
Davidson was described as a convicted felon who robbed people for a living. Police even had an admission from Sutton that she wouldn’t be surprised if he was the ring leader in the couple’s murders. MORE>>>
