Vanessa Coleman was arraigned in Knox County Criminal Court Wednesday for the murders of Channon Christian and Chris Newsom. Coleman appeared before a grand jury on indictments that included aggravated rape and first degree murder. Coleman is the only woman charged in the case, and the last suspect to be arraigned. She was arrested in Kentucky, and unsuccessfully fought extradition. Coleman is charged in the murders, along with Lemaricus Davidson, Letalvis Cobbins, and George Thomas. All four are scheduled to be back in court May 17 for a status hearing.
