SMoke and prayers for a girl I know...

Prayers for all the families involved. There will be many tough days yet to come in this case. The trial may bring out bad things that can disturb the whole community. Be strong!
 
All my sympathies and compassion to the family and you Brother Michael. I am sorry that such ones walk the same ground as you and I. My heart goes out to all. I got out a sage stick and swirled it for you Codger for you and your daughter and Holly and all the ones who get taken from us by the Dark and the Evil and the Cruel. Holly will drink from that stream of everlasting and never be thirsty again and now we gotta be good so we can see her again. Now she lives in our memories where she can never truly die. I'm sorry Codger, truly so.

Thankyou again Bill and others. Yesterday was the arraignment hearing for the first accused in the kidnap and murder. There will be others I understand, as many as four all told.

It was strange at the courthouse yesterday. I've never in my life seen so much law enforcement presence. And of course media presence.

Then there was the juxtaposition of the yellow police tapes cordoning off the street where the THP patrolman cadre pulled up their caravan and escorted the accused past all of the fresh pink ribbons and bows into the courthouse. And, something no one has mentioned that I have seen, the ambulance waiting just down the street "in case". Or the guy on the roof across the street. Whether they expected trouble, "ala Oswald", or just were taking no chances, it was an odd thing to see in this normally sleepy little town of 1,000 people +/-.

Oh... and if you watch the film of the preceedings, try to concentrate on the deputies actions. They don't miss a camera bag being opened, a paper being turned. They scan, stop and stare, then scan again looking at/for anything and everything. Someone has obviously professionally coached them recently. Good on them. I am, as strange as it may sound, proud of the family, law enforcement and the spectators in the courtroom for their vigilance and demenor. No doubt all played a big part in making today, as much as possible, a nonevent as far as unexpected happenings.

It came out later via TBI Director Mark Gwyn's testimony to the State legislature considering a new Meth law, that the accused had sneaked meth into the jail after his arrest and it was discovered during his transfer to an adjacent county jail. The bill passed, though I haven't yet checked to see what it contains. The director also testified that Tennessee is #2 nationwide in meth lab siezures. Behind only Indiana IIRC. Among the accused's priors, 25 of them, are posession of meth cooking precursor chemicals including stolen anhydrous ammonia.
 
Keep us posted please Michael. I'm really interested to see where this goes.
 
There are three suspects charged and in a hearing this morning, new charges were read with the three defendants present and their attorneys accepting the Judge's suggestion of a not guilty plea. The new charges of murder and rape carry the death penalty for all three. A fourth suspect had committed suicide last fall before being charged. More preliminary hearings are set on discovery and motions for the end of this August. Holly's skull was found in the woods last fall so there is no doubt she was murdered. The defendants are being held in separate jails out of the area to prevent them from communicating.
 
Holly Bobo was such a beautiful young girl. This was a senseless killing that screams death penalty and if my last name were bobo I would be head hunting with an AR-15..............................

Rest in peace Holly, karma is coming
 
Absolutely horrible, all you can do is to hope for the family and your community to get through this. Meth is such a shit drug to cause these monsters to act on their sicknesses.
 
Methamphetamine really IS a bad drug. I'm all about many libertarian concepts but they do not include meth. TN was a hot bed for meth manufacture and remains a state with very high legal drug use.
 
I hope and pray for the family to have the strength to get through this, and a special place in hell for the garbage scum that harmed this beautiful life.
 
I hope that ALL of the bad guys get what is coming to them.

Now, if I said what I really WANT TO SAY here - I would be banned not warned or told that it is too political.

So I will leave it to your imagination, take off my high heels and jump off of my soap box!

PS: There is NO such thing as a 'safe place' from these type of dirt bag criminals no matter what you may think. THIS GARBAGE is ruining this country - super remote, rural, small town, city, suburbia, etc.

It hasn't been a "safe country" for more than 40 years. Hang the bastards!
