I am just here to say that I have not forgotten Holly Bobo....
Followed her case for a long, long time.
Honoring her memory with this post.
Entitled men.same! I haven’t forgotten her either!!
Has there been any updates on ZA?Entitled men.
I think these 'so-called' men are way more than entitled. JMOEntitled men.
Yes, yes, yes, yes! I agree with everything you posted. I was so upset when he just skated on the murder charge for Holly.Jason Autry update --
Long after the trials of the others, the delay presumably being in order to make sure he was available and would be cooperative to testify in any possible retrial of the others, JA was sentenced to 8 years for his part.
But at that point (Sept 2020), he was then released because of "time served" to that point. Ugh. I believe many of us think he was way more central to HB's murder than he testified, and that he sugar-coated his own involvement (and perhaps exaggerated that of others) in his "star testimony." He should have been locked up forever.
However, he didn't stay out of prison for long. (Let me offer a loud "Yay!!!" for that! This brutal sadistic killer needs to stay locked up imo.) In Dec 2020 he was arrested on weapons charges. (Maybe LE was keeping an eye for a good reason to lock him up again, knowing how he had skated on the Bobo case?) This was already noticed and shared in this thread a bit earlier.
NEW UPDATE -- Here's the Oct 20, 2022 article where he agreed to plead guilty to those charges! It will be quite some time before he's out again - no parole in a fed case.
A federal judge set a Nov. 22 hearing for Jason Autry, who was arrested in December 2020 after he tried to run away from a sheriff’s deputy in a rural field, where the deputy found a Marlin rifle.
Autry was then indicted on charges of possessing a weapon and ammunition as a felon with prior violent offenses. Autry had pleaded not guilty, but he has agreed to change his plea to guilty, according to an Oct. 4 court filing obtained by The Associated Press.
Autry had faced 15 years to life in prison under the charges in a third superseding indictment issued Sept. 29. It was not immediately clear Thursday what sentence he faces under the plea agreement.

New developments years after conviction in high profile Holly Bobo case
Seven years after a jury convicted Zach Adams in the murder of Holly Bobo a key witness recants his testimony. Co-defendant Jason Autry cut a deal and his testimony was crucial to the conviction.www.newschannel5.com
In a petition filed recently in Hardin County Circuit Court by Adam’s appellate lawyer, it says Autry confessed that he lied, making up the whole story in his jail cell in discussions with his attorney about the best way to avoid spending the rest of his life in prison. ….
All of this means the case could be reopened and Adams could be released as a free man.
As the star witness in the Holly Bobo murder trial, Jason Autry spoke in a calm, deliberative manner as an attentive jury listened to him recreate the day the kidnapped Tennessee nursing student was wrapped in a blanket, placed in the back of a pickup truck, driven to a river and shot to death by his friend.
Autry wore a white jail uniform and made a point of putting on eyeglasses as he looked at rural maps during his hourslong testimony in the killing of Bobo, a 20-year-old woman who disappeared from her home in 2011. Bobo's remains were found more than three years after a massive search of woods, fields and farms.
A convicted felon facing serious charges in the case, Autry gave graphic testimony against his friend Zachary Adams, including details about drug use and Bobo's kidnapping, rape and slaying. Autry told the jury he served as a lookout as Adams shot Bobo under a bridge near a river.
"It sounded like, boom, boom, boom, underneath that bridge. It was just one shot but it echoed," Autry testified. "Birds went everywhere, all up under that bridge. Then just dead silence for just a second."
Praised by the trial judge who called his testimony credible, Autry's story helped seal the fate of Adams, who was convicted at the 2017 trial and sentenced to life in prison plus 50 years. More than six years later, court records show Autry's taking it all back and recanting his testimony, saying he made up the story to avoid spending life in prison.
Autry's reversal was revealed in two petitions, obtained by CBS affiliate WREG-TV, seeking post-conviction relief filed by Adams' lawyer in Hardin County, where the trial took place. Adams, 39, wants his conviction thrown out based on Autry's latest statements about the case that grabbed national headlines and frightened residents of Bobo's quiet west Tennessee hometown of Parsons, about 120 miles east of Memphis.
"The record will ultimately acquit Mr. Adams based on Mr. Jason Autry's complete and total recantation," one of the petitions says.
