Recall that his lawyer, Chip Lewis, was also one of the lawyers for Robert Durst out in California, whose trial took precedence. Durst was convicted last year, finally, but before they could get into appeals he had the presence of mind to die of natural causes in January. So apparently Chip is now freed up? But still don’t know when trial for Hollis will occur.

Also the story notes that Hollis did not respond to the wrongful death lawsuit filed by the police officer’s widow, and she was awarded $120 million in damages. I suppose she has a moral and paper victory but she won’t ever see a dime of that unless Hollis somehow wins the lotto from jail or writes a book that sells well enough to produce a profit.
Sorry, but this is absolutely unconscionable and sickeningly ridiculous. Are y'all seriously telling me that after FIVE YEARS, this still hasn't gone to trial? That the alleged murderer has just been sitting there for all that time? And some folks try and say our legal system isn't flat out broken.
