I wonder if the Bobos will push for a long drawn-out death penalty case and the attached appeals process, or if they'd prefer life in prison without parole if prosecutors could secure guilty pleas?
According to this article, the DA's office has voluminous evidence against the suspects. I hope so. If so, they've done a good job keeping it under wraps.
Snip:
Recently elected District Attorney Matt Stowe said his office was preparing to seek a possible death penalty in the case. A decision is expected in coming weeks, after he consults with the Bobo family, he said.
"The evidence is voluminous," Stowe said. "We are going to make sure that everyone who played a part in the heinous crime that has attacked the peace and dignity of the state of Tennessee faces a consequence for that."
Stowe said the Bobo family would be issuing a statement Tuesday.
Before the news conference Monday, the Bobo family was trying to remain calm and let authorities do their job, said their attorney, Steve Farese.
"You can imagine the emotional roller coaster that they've been on," Farese said.
