Lisa Holland Sentenced to Life In Prison; More Indictments in Case are Possible

Lisa Holland was sentenced to life in prison with no possibility of parole yesterday. The judge said that she enjoyed handing down this sentence a great deal due to the horrific nature of the crime which ended the life of her adopted son, Ricky Holland.

So much for the Hollands. Unfortunately, they are not out of the news yet. Both Lisa and her husband Tim are saying that they will appeal their convictions and sentences.

In addition, the state has opened full-scale investigations of other family members who knew the Hollands had killed Ricky and helped them concoct the tale that Ricky was missing; Lisa's dad is at the top of the list. Also, state agencies have been conducting their own reviews of their conduct in the case but won't comment until the criminal cases are completed.

Looks like this is going to be in the news for quite some time to come.

Justice Delivered: Ricky Holland Murder Case is Done, Parents are Going to Jail

The tragic Ricky Holland murder case is finally over, and justice was delivered for Ricky.

The jury convicted Lisa Holland of first-degree murder this morning. Her husband had already taken a plea deal in return for turning state's evidence against his wife.

I have no sympathy whatsoever for Tim or Lisa Holland. This is totally their fault. What they did to a defenseless 38 pound boy who they were supposed to be raising has entitled them to a life's stay in prison, where they will stay until they arrive at their own personal Judgment Days.

Tim and Lisa abused Ricky, murdered him with a hammer, dumped his body in a swamp, and then asked the public to join them in the search for Ricky, to which hundreds of people from neighboring communities responded. CERT teams, law enforcement and search and rescue teams came in from all over the state and region to assist.

The Hollands knew full well that Ricky was already dead, and not missing. The case finally broke when Tim and Lisa began accusing the other of murdering the seven-year-old. Tim lead the police to the body in the swamp, and quickly agreed to a plea deal.

This crime was so heinous that they should have told him to "go to hell" and gone for the first-degree murder conviction. His testimony was shattering not only to the defense, but to the entire area as well. The reverberations are still being felt.

Hopefully this conviction will begin the healing for the community of Williamston, the detectives who recovered Ricky's body and for all those searchers who scoured the land looking for Ricky.

Lisa will be sentenced November 28th.

They should throw the Hollands into vast underground jail cells that are so far away from civilization that the guards will have to shoot their beans to them (the Hollands) with a shotgun!
