Ricky Holland Vanished http://rickyhollandvanished.facesofthemissing.org blogging about the disappearance and murder of Ricky Holland Tue, 02 Sep 2008 07:57:35 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.3 en Lisa Holland’s Appeal Denied http://rickyhollandvanished.facesofthemissing.org/2008/07/04/lisa-hollands-appeal-denied/ http://rickyhollandvanished.facesofthemissing.org/2008/07/04/lisa-hollands-appeal-denied/#comments Sat, 05 Jul 2008 01:29:02 +0000 Trisha http://rickyhollandvanished.facesofthemissing.org/?p=133 Lisa Holland asked the Michigan Court of Appeals to throw out her murder conviction based on the following argument:

Lisa Holland said her 2006 trial in Ingham County should have been moved because media publicity deprived her of a fair trial. The 36-year-old also says evidence of Ricky Holland’s cause of death and prior abuse against him shouldn’t have been heard by jurors.1

Well, gee, the Michigan Court of Appeals unanimously disagreed with Lisa’s point of view. I wonder why. Could it be it was a really dumb argument? Could it be if the court grants her a new trial or even thought about it people in the state of Michigan would not go for it? Either way, the timing of the appeal could not have come at a worse time for Lisa - the anniversary of the week Ricky slowly died in her home

Lets see, I suppose the if the jurors only heard the part of the evidence about Lisa just hitting him in the head with a hammer, that might have changed the way they viewed the murder. Oh, and the part about media publicity not affording her a fair trial. Who decided it was a smart thing to do to call police and report a 7-year-old as a runaway? Who set the wheels in motion for a statewide search for Ricky?

These are just things after the fact. How about you not abuse the child in the first place? How about you show him love and understanding instead of looking at him like a cashcow?

Crawl  under a rock now Lisa and quietly serve out the remainder of your life without parole sentence.
