LIST: Here's what Eric Boyd was found guilty of in deaths of Channon Christian & Chris Newsom

Here's a list of every charge that Eric Boyd faces and the jury's verdict

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Eric Boyd was indicted by a Knox County grand jury on a total of 36 charges related to the 2007 kidnapping, rape, and murder of Channon Christian and Chris Newsom, and a jury found him guilty of all of them.

The jury reached its verdict on Tuesday and presented it just after 2 p.m.

Boyd was found guilty of a lesser charge on two of the counts. Instead of guilty of especially aggravated armed robbery, the jury found Boyd guilty of aggravated armed robbery.

The individual charges can be complicated to read, but are listed that way because committing one crime during the perpetration of another can be an enhancing factor when it comes to sentencing. Using a weapon during a crime can also be an enhancing factor.

The jury could also find various forms of guilt on each count, for example on the murder charge, the jury could choose the most serious charge of first-degree murder down to criminally negligent homicide.
