MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A judge has denied the request for a new trial from one of the men convicted in the 2011 murder of Holly Bobo.
Zach Adams appeared in court Tuesday morning for the first time since he was convicted in 2017 of kidnapping, raping, and murdering the nursing student in Decatur County, Tennessee.
In court Tuesday, his defense revealed 56 reasons why they said Adams should have a new trial, but so far, the judge has denied all of them.
Adams is currently serving life in prison. Dylan Adams, Zach’s brother, made an Alford Plea in 2018 to a lesser charge of facilitation of murder. The trial of a third suspect, Jason Autry, is still pending. Autry testified against Zach Adams.
