Episode 11: Speak Truth to Power - Closing Statement by Doug Bates - Zach Adams v State of Tennessee
With Zach Adams's post-conviction relief hearing over, Dr. Katie Spirko is finally off her sequestration order and rejoining the Trial & Error podcast with attorney Dana McLendon III. In this episode, she brings you back to the Hardin County Courthouse in Savannah, TN, for attorney Douglas Bates IV's closing statement before Judge Brent Bradberry in Zach Adams's post-conviction relief evidentiary hearing for the kidnapping, assault, and murder of 20-year-old nursing student Holly Bobo in 2011. Zach Adams was convicted in 2017 despite no physical evidence linking him to the crime. Since then, growing evidence has revealed gross prosecutorial misconduct on the part of now-Judge Jennifer Nichols, as well as profound problems with law enforcement's handling of the investigation. With Doug Bates taking his last turn at the podium, this awe-inspiring courtroom moment is a true masterclass in speaking truth to power! www.innocentbrothers.com [email protected]
