Zach Adams, Man Indicted in Holly Bobo Case, Arraigned on New Charge
DECATUR COUNTY, Tenn. — Zach Adams, the first man charged in the alleged murder and disappearance of nursing student Holly Bobo, appeared in court on Wednesday afternoon. Adams was arraigned on the newest charge of coercion of a witness, which he entered a not guilty plea. Adams reportedly asked an unnamed inmate to – “Tell my brother he is the one who started this (expletive) and if he don’t shut his mouth he will be in the hole beside her.” During the arraignment, his legal counsel brought up multiple concerns, including the fact that her client could not review the evidence in his case. She suggested that she give Adams a computer. The judge said that this would be a concern taken up at the next hearing. Adams is due back in court on June 4, at the same time Autry will appear . Adams legal counsel also claimed he cannot afford to retain his counsel and was declared indigent. He was also ordered by the judge to appear in each subsequent court appearance.
