BBM I agree that the existence of the video is in question. It has been the subject of much debate on this thread. That is why I started my 2nd paragraph with "If the video does exist...". Dylan admitted earlier that he had raped Holly. I just think he is the A-Team's weak link and LE was able to get him to admit to being a part of the entire scheme (abduction, rape & murder) and he in turn implicated the other two. The video would be damning to the defense, but Dylan's testimony that all three of them were involved would hit pretty hard as well.
I agree that if the video exists and shows her being raped, that would prove not only the rape, but the other crimes as well.
Lastly, as I always say this is MOO.
I don't think anyone is jumping to conclusion that it IS proof positive the video tape. I haven't seen any poster say it IS the video and only think it could be based on the new indictments.
However; if the video has been located and viewed by the investigators/ADA it would fully explain why additional indictments have now been handed down on all three suspects. It would also explain the charges of rape x3 on all three.
I do question though if these indictments were brought about based on what was said by Dylan but lets say its true. If I was a grand juror I would not indict the other two based solely on the words of one of the participants when I know they have a vested interest to lie. I would expect more supporting evidence to make sure the allegations are true against the co-conpirators and were not done because he was trying to place blame and involve others for his own wrongdoing.
I think Dylan told all he was going to tell when he first admitted he had raped Holly. Iirc, I did read that Dylan was no longer talking with the TBI. I am sure once charged with rape his lawyer advised him to have no verbal contact with LE anymore.
I think he only admitted to the rape because he isn't very smart and felt they may have found forensic evidence showing he did. Since LE can legally willfully lie to a suspect, who knows, maybe they told him way back when they were talking to him that they know he raped Holly because they found his DNA. I do agree at that time DA was certainly the weakest link in the A-Train.
But since Dylan's first charges, I cant see Dylan's attorney agreeing to let him speak openly all the while severely incriminating himself all the way to possibly death row. If he did speak with them to tell what all the others had done his lawyer would make sure it would be to DAs advantage somehow don't you think? Instead they threw the book at him. Heck I have seen the actual murderers get sweetheart deals when they turned state's evidence against the mastermind who plotted the murder. In the Rabbi Neulander case one of the hit men only received 10 years.
I feel it's something else. Something she has in her possession now that she didn't have earlier where she knows she can prove that all three were involved with the kidnapping, three rapes per defendant and murder. Even if ZAs was the one who initially kidnapped her from her home they would all be guilty of kidnapping since they were involved in holding her against her will in his home. But rapes are separate acts. Each one must commit the act of rape to be charged and so it is with murder as well.
Is it the video? No one knows at this point, but if it is it is a painful reminder of another heinous case that happened in May, 2005 when Joseph Duncan/pedophile/serial killer videoed every horrific moment as he was kidnapping, raping, torturing, Shasta and Dylan Greone and finally murdering little Dylan Greone. He had it all on video just like Mel Ignato taped the entire beating, rape, torture, and murder of his girlfriend.
Do I think the video exist? Yes, I most certainly think it does. Not only did SK say Pearcy showed it to her but Dylan Adams also says it exists.
While I cannot begin to even imagine the pain and suffering it will cause the Bobo family if it does exist and is brought into the trial as evidence...it will be the evidence that puts the nail in the coffin of each and every one of these sub-humans.
The one thing that I have always wanted to know. What convinced the Bobo parents that Holly was indeed dead and had been murdered after refusing to believe it for three long years? With parents its not a beyond a reasonable doubt threshold when it comes to the death of their child. For parents it has to be something so convincing that it is beyond all doubt. I do hope we learn what it was as the cases go forward.
I feel much better now because of the latest events. I do think this ADA is going to prove her case on all three. I have read she is an expert in death penalty cases and tough.
There is so much we do not know about the evidence they have and it shows even now no grass is growing beneath LE/ADAs feet.
Peace be with the Bobo family.
IMO
