Holly Bobo, 20, Tenn. missing. & Karen Swift

[HairOfTheDog]

Dylan Adams ^ pleaded not guilty to two counts of rape against Holly Bobo today.

His bond was set at $25k. The DA, Stowe, asked for the max. But, the judge (McGinley) stated that he is going to treat the defendants in Holly's case the same as he does any other criminal defendants and that's the standard bond for simple rape.

The judge appointed Dylan a public defender, Maddox. He ordered that the DA hand over its case discovery to Maddox. McGinley said a motions hearing for the defendants in the Bobo case is scheduled for Dec. 17.

Outside the courtroom, the Adams family lived up (well, down) to its name. Second cousin of Dylan and Zach Adams, Moss Miller, attended the hearing and wanted to speak with media afterward.

Miller complained that the court, and even the community, has treated Dylan Adams and others in the case unfairly. He said he does not believe it is fair that the Bobos have reserved seating in the courtroom during hearings in the case and that green and pink ribbons hang on doors and posts on and around the courthouse.

"My family's tax payer dollars go to support this courthouse too," he said. Miller said the bows and ribbons and reserved seating show unbalanced support for the Bobo family, and have created a "mob mentality" in the community. "We want justice, not a lynching," Miller said.

Miller said his family has intentions of contacting the American Civil Liberties Union on the matter (HOTD: haha, good luck with that -- the victim's family is higher priority when it comes to seating in open court and wearing justice ribbons to hearings where no trial is underway and no jury is present is certainly not a legal issue or equivalent of unfair treatment, IMO.)

Miller also said that Dylan Adams is mentally unfit to defend himself. DA Stowe responded to the press by reminding them that Dylan had been found competent for past trials.

Miller and the rest of the Adams family are huge assholes, IMO. They act as if Holly's family members and the community members are the criminals for supporting LE and seeking justice in a case of kidnap, rape and murder. The Bobos and the community didn't put the Adams brothers in the hot seat -- LE put them there after years of investigation.
