KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT) -- Emotions ran high as the chief medical examiner who performed autopsies on Channon Christian and Chris Newsom testified about their deadly injuries..

During the medical examiner's testimony an unidentified man collapsed in the audience at the sight of the gruesome pictures.

Tensions ran high as a loud gasp was heard from spectators seated in the courtroom.

And Vanessa Coleman broke down several times as pictures of Newsom's burned body and pictures of Christian stuffed in a trash can were shown on big screen projector.

During all this at least one juror appeared teary eyed at the sight of the autopsy photos.

Needless to say the Christian and Newsom families were very upset, including Channon's best friend, who also broke down in tears.

Legal expert and defense lawyer Bruce Poston said the medical examiner's testimony is nearly impossible for the defense to oversome. Poston also said it will be very difficult for jurors to forget images of the victims during deliberations.

The prosecution rested after the medical examiner's testimony. Up next, Coleman's lawyers will put on its proof to create reasonable doubt in the jury. And, all it takes is one juror to say not guilty.
