Day 2: Witness testimonies continue in post-conviction hearing for Zach Adams

SAVANNAH, Tenn. — During the continuation of Zach Adams’ post conviction hearing, the defense presented more evidence pointing to another suspect, while the prosecution poked holes in the defendant’s alibi.

Defense Attorney, Doug Bates, called the next witness to the stand, Terry Dicus, retired TBI case agent.

Dicus detailed his review of surveillance footage that captured several vehicles hoping to spot a suspect.

While focusing on Terry Britt, Bates entered an investigative report into evidence that details suspicious activity.

“David Bird added that he observed Terry Britt coming up and down Fred Inman Road in his white van, maybe four or five times very slowly on the weekend that Holly Bobo was kidnapped. Bird thought that was strange because he usually only saw Terry Britt drive by maybe once or twice a week,” said Bates.

Bates continued to provide evidence that points away from his client including audio from a wiretapped conversation between Terry Britt and his wife.

“Get mad because they can’t solve a case and go try to cost somebody else money, cause all kinds of problems because they can do that,” said Britt.

Britt also discussed that authorities claimed there was human flesh found in one of their vans.

“Well, there ain’t been no human flesh in that old red van,” said Britt.

During cross-exam, ADA Christopher Boiano pointed out that Dicus had been removed from the case in 2013.

“Is it true that the reason given for taking you off the case was your fixation on Terry Britt?” said Boiano.

“No. The official reason that they gave me was that I had become too emotionally involved in the case,” said Dicus.

Dicus previously ruled shane austin, Jason Autry, and Zach Adams out as suspect based on their alibi’s, cell phone ping locations, and Clint Bobo’s witness statement.

It was later proven that their alibi’s were inconsistent.

“You would agree with me that the statement that Shane Austin gave four days after the abduction is not the same statement or version of events that he gave you in July?” said Boiano.

“That’s correct,” said Dicus.

Boiano went on to question the thoroughness of the investigation.
