I imagine that if it happened on the prosecutions side the attorney would be replaced within a week, or the next day causing no delay at all.
This is the sort of thing that causes victim's families to make the heartbreaking statements we hear so often about the injustices of such trials.
i.e. "it was very difficult to sit through, because it seemed that the killers had all the rights and we had none."
Decatur County Sheriff brings in help for Holly Bobo case hearings:
"For the first time the three men charged in the Holly Bobo case will be under the same roof. Decatur county Sheriff Keith Byrd said he is beefing up security to make sure those men stay safe."*

So, it looks like this hearing hasn't been completely postponed because of the defense attorney's legal troubles. The defendants will at least appear in court tomorrow.
Yelp, they are moving them. Curious if Michael Alex. was released. I had an email about 3 weeks ago stating he was.
12/16/2014
This e-mail is to inform you that JOHN ADAMS has been released from custody as of 12/16/2014. If you have any concerns about your immediate safety, contact your local law enforcement agency, or if you have an emergency, call 911.

When reading up on Fletcher and his partner, I think Fletcher will be handling one of the Vanderbuilt rape guys while his partner waits out his 60 days violation. Supposedly, that's to be in January.

From the above link :
- "A helicopter will be flying around the court square area during court, and of course he'll be looking for anything that don't look right," he said.
- Byrd said he is calling in help from Parsons Police Department and Perry County Sheriff's Department.
- They will have double the security in front of and inside the courtroom.
- "Everybody goes through the scanner, even the judge," he said. Each of the three men will have their own officer by their side.
- "The street where they load and unload the defendants, those will be armed with rifles and shotguns," Byrd said.
- He said the streets around the courthouse will be closed.
WOW !!!
District Attorney Matt Stowe has halted all Tennessee Bureau of Investigation crime services for all law enforcement agencies in the 24th Judicial District in which he serves, multiple sources have confirmed.
TBI spokesperson Susan Niland has confirmed TBI Director Mark Gwyn met Tuesday morning with heads of law enforcement agencies in Stowe's district but would not go into detail about what was discussed.
Sources who attended the meeting in Parsons tell WBBJ Gwyn announced that, at the decision of Stowe, TBI services no longer will be available for agencies in Stowe's judicial district effective immediately. All unprocessed evidence would be returned to the respective agencies, according to sources.
The TBI is responsible for providing support to local law enforcement agencies in joint investigations at the request of the local district attorney, according to the bureau's website.
With this decision, expert testimony from the TBI no longer will be available for prosecuting cases in the district. State forensics services also will no longer be available for crime scene investigations.
Evans has re-initiated that his motion for the immunity agreement be heard. He also filed a motion to compel the deposition testimony of two TBI agents linked to the Bobo investigation.
"They have yet to produce any specific incident to support their allegation to prove that he has been untruthful," Evans said.
Evans said Austin is dealing with this ordeal as best he can.
"It's unfair that he has to worry about that every day, that he will be falsely arrested for something he didn't do," Evans said.
He is hoping it's all over soon so his client can get back to life.
"Unfortunately, this appears to be a witch hunt that Mr. Austin is on the receiving end of, and that's patently unfair," Evans said.
The immunity hearing was scheduled to be heard Dec. 2 in Decatur County, but that's no longer the case. A new date has not yet been set.

WOW ... just WOW !
WTH ?
So is this good or bad for Holly's case ?
Interesting ... and hoping we get more details !
:waitasec: Nah ...
:twocents:
JMO but something "stinks" ... not sure what yet, but something is just not right, and has never been right with respect to Holly's case !
So ... on the eve of the big hearing scheduled for tomorrow in Decatur County, where the 3 defendants: Zach, Jason, and Dylan are scheduled to appear for Holly's kidnapping, rape and murder, this bombshell is dropped regarding the D.A.'s halting of TBI's crime services for all LE agencies in the 24th JDC ?
WHAT is going on ?
JMO but I would like to hear what The Bobo Family thinks about this !
:moo:
Gosh I sure don't know what this is going to mean for Holly's case, if they aren't even going to be involved in court cases.
Yah, we sure need a few more details, and to know that the DA didn't even attend the meeting that Gwyn from the TBI
sure made me go hmmmm.
Ever since the arrests started, everything has been wonky to say the least with some of the principals in this case.
the only thing I have seen concerning the Bobo's was prayers for them, for tomorrow~
Ive been reading about another murder case in the area that I first saw over there on topix, well they finally arrested someone, don't know if the TBI was involved in it....
But geeze Louise!!!! Think of the cost when they have to go to private companies... I wonder will that be a good thing or bad?
I know of another case, that it is taking the TBI months and I do mean months to do forensics on it.
:tsktsk:
:seeya: THANK YOU for this update, Mercury !
WOW ... all 3 in court at the same time tomorrow: Zach, Autry, and Dylan !
Do we have a time yet ?
Thanks !
