*Arrest* Holly Bobo investigation- TBI press conference 5 March 2014

[steelman]

This is going to be a court-appointed "team" of lawyers handed to him courtesy of a judge and the taxpayers of Tennessee. Him and that useless tribe of enablers that he calls a family will be more than happy to accept free legal services as long as they "promise to try and pay someday". (wink, wink, says the attorney)

I think it is quite telling that the press did not indicate one witness going in for the GJ, I believe it was only LE.
Remember Kyron's GJ settings? There were lots of people being brought in.
This almost gives me the impression this guy acted alone and left quite a bit for LE at his home.

6' 1" and 150 lbs?? Heard that weight on a video link today.

Methamphetamine much?

Wow that is so thin for a guy. He has such crazy looking eyes as well which I guess is from all the meth use?

 

[oceanblueeyes]

You were right. And it appears LE has been onto this guy for awhile, just waiting for their chance to issue search warrants. I guess they have been doing their job after all. Without, I might add, the public being given all the evidence pivotal to the investigation!!!:angel:

Thank you.:seeya:

It really shows, while we may think LE is doing nothing, that is not the case usually. I think LE has worked long and tirelessly on this case. They never forgot Holly for one second, imo.

And I believe, other than getting the photo/story out of the missing victim, and releasing a composite sketch if there was an eye witness to the crime (like in this case) that they shouldn't release any of the evidence they have uncovered.

Cases are tried in a court of law and not in the court of public opinion although plenty of times it feels that way in certain cases. Even in Florida with the Sunshine Law nothing is told nor is discovery released until after a suspect has been arrested.

Whatever evidence LE has is huge to move this fast after the three day search of ZAs home. While I would love to know what it is, I will patiently wait until it comes out in court. At least that way I know the integrity of the investigation is secure and protected.

IMO

His parents were singing a whole different tune back when he shot his mother and had his family members staying awake all night with shotguns at the ready. They filed a restraining against this rat and were granted it. I guess Mom and Dad must have very selective and short-term memories.

That makes me sick but it happened in the Guy Heinz mass murder case too. It was a death penalty case so he was given a great lawyer who was death penalty qualified and a couple of other attorneys. It cost Georgia taxpayers over 2 million dollars to try the guilty .

So justice doesn't come cheap. I would like nothing better than for ZA to get the death penalty no matter the cost.

I am sure the taxpayers in that community agrees. He deserves nothing less than death.

IMO

 

[Bravo]

I may not have the popular opinion right now but I need more info before I can give an opinion as far as how ZA was dealt with by Family. And as far as a Lawyer I hope he does get a good one whether paid or Court appointed. I just don't want to see any appellate issues down the road. I want him convicted and gone. Never to see his name in the press again.

 

[Carla Lashelle]

What gets me is when the dirtbag is convicted and then the parents get to plea for his life and say what a good kid he was and how he had a rough childhood etc. and the stupid jury sucks it up like honey and goes lenient on the sentencing. I would hold the family responsible for raising such a monster, myself. If he had such a bad childhood under their care then its their fault and they should share the blame.

I have been a victim of rape. It is a very humbling, humiliating, embarrassing and private experience. There are not enough emotions to attach to it.

I believe most of us suspect that was probably Zach's motive in the killing of Holly. At THIS point and time we don't know that. Possibly we will in the future. It has not been reported in MSM. I hope she did not have to experience that humiliation before she departed this earth.

If she were, I don't think she would like strangers on the internet speculating how it happened, whether it was repeatedly, where and how it happened. And if I were her parent I would not like to read this or any other thread sensationalizing the very worst things imaginable done to my daughter.

Everyone has their right to their opinion. I get that. But at the same time I think what we write and think should sensitive to the victims. I've been there, done that.

Meth and being cray cray himself. And not legally cray cray. IMO :seeya:

So sorry to hear ((hugs))

I do think she was sexually assaulted and that was his motivation for kidnapping her in the first place.

The kidnapping would be continuous. From the time he took her against her will from her home .......then took her to another location and raped her repeatedly (IMO) and subsequently murdering her. The kidnapping would still be occurring through all of those phases.

They will not likely charge him with rape though because even if Holly is found after three years they would not have evidence of the rape due to the remains being skeletonized by now.

But yes sadly I do think she was raped and I think LE thinks so too but know they cant prove it.

IMO

They might be able to prove sexual assault if he took pictures or videos of the assault (hate to type that) or if they find his semen on an article of Holly's clothing (if they find her clothing), particularly if it's on her underwear. Some of these sickos keep their victims' underwear as trophies.

 

[tnhybrid]

Just my 2 cents, but I think anyone who believes this perp is going to walk or get off with a light sentence has no idea how high-profile this case is locally. If found guilty, my sense is he's going to spend the rest of his short life in the slam, no two ways about it.

:jail:

Agree. He will no longer walk a free man. Thank Gawd :banghead: IMO

I am sorry for your pain. I too am a survivor... I try to be careful with my words as I find reading some things quite painful or difficult myself. Fortunately, while you and I have to live with things the rest of our lives, Holly is free from that pain now. I think her faith and attitude in life helped her get through those dark hours nearly three years ago...

Is this an assumption on your part, Ocean, or did you see this somewhere in msm? For all I know, perhaps this family did everything in their power to get ZA real help. I don't know that they bailed him out...they may have, but I don't know that. I just think it's far too easy to cast aspersions on people when we really don't know the circumstances. And even if what you assume is true, what purpose does it serve to trash this family here on a public forum? They aren't responsible for the actions of a grown man, are they? And THEY didn't murder anyone, did they?

Just my 2 cents. Shutting up now.

Its my opinion.

It is based on all the sweetheart deals he got with either a slap on the wrist or rehab for violent offenses.

I think Cindy would have sang like a song bird if they had tried to get him help when she was talking about his drug use. She didn't mention trying to get him help when she was making excuses for him. Both of her sons are either in prison or jail now. I am not sure what help you are referring to?

It doesn't have to serve any purpose that I am aware of but I think anyone can have an opinion based on his criminal record, frivolous punishments, and what violent acts he has done to his own family, and the statements made by his family. All of this has become known now so of course it will be discussed just like anything else.

No one has ever said that his family was responsible for him murdering Holly but we all know environment and having enablers while growing up can be important many times when it comes to how someone turns out.

No one is trashing them either. I said I believe they enabled him and I stand by that opinion.

IMO

I share your opinion, Bravo. In fact, much to some people's dismay, I hold defense attorneys (in general) in very high regard. They play a vital role in our justice system, in that they force the prosecution to prove innocence beyond a reasonable doubt. What terrifies me more than a guilty person getting off scott-free, is an innocent person being deprived of their liberty because they had a crappy lawyer (or a biased jury). That ought to scare the crap out of every citizen who values their liberty.
