Crazy "justice" system that we have here
His expression says it all, he looks like he's just given up.

well there you go. that's how they got him.But when you read the article linked in Balko’s post, you learn that not only had Holle “given the police a series of statements in which he seemed to admit knowing about the burglary” before lending the burglars the car, but he also “did testify that he had been told it might be necessary to ‘knock out’ Jessica Snyder.”
Instead of merely knocking her out, the burglars knocked her dead. This sounds like it was foreseeable to Mr. Holle, who knew the burglars were contemplating a burglary with possible violence involved.
Holle now claims he thought the burglars were joking when they talked about the burglary they were going to commit. But a jury convicted Mr. Holle, meaning they didn’t believe that. I’m viewing the facts in the light most favorable to the prosecution’s position, just as an appellate court will. The jury’s verdict necessarily means they believed Holle knew about the planned burglary in advance.
In other words, Mr. Holle didn’t just lend his car to some buddies. He lent his car to some people who said they were going to use it to drive to do a burglary, during the course of which they might “knock out” the victim.

From what I'm seeing in the foxnews interview with the father, they discussed the plan in dudes room and dude even helped them get bandanas to cover their faces....

Why would you lend your car knowingly to commit a crime though? how stupid are you?
It's kinda like, if you and a few friends are going to rob someone and only plan to rob him and one of your friends we're to kill the person you planned to rob, you would be an accessory to the murder since you we're there.life sentence though?

This but I still think the life sentence is too harsh. If he was the getaway driver I would understand
Well the I guess he deserves it he knew dey were going to rob her.. Nothing good comes out of crimes ..it is what it isSo none of his so called "friends " vouched that he didn't know what they were going to do?if I'm reading it right the prosecutor was able to somewhat prove that he knew their intentions?
they did
Allen said in a pretrial deposition that all Holle did "was to say, 'Use the car.' I mean, nobody really knew that girl was going to get killed. It was not in the plans to go kill somebody, you know."

Exactly shoulda taken the 10year ... But he wantsIf he knew a crime was to be committed and he lent his car, I can see him justifiably going to prison. For life though? Naw...
Shoudda taken the 10 year bid.
I know these laws exist, I know a few people doing time for it.life sentence though?

Kinda of the same thing, he knew what they we're going to do from that other part of the article even though he wasn't actually there. He was still one way or another involved. Maybe she doesn't die if he doesn't lend them the car....then again maybe she still does.
RIP to the girl |I . Her parents should get life in prison as well.
The mom got 3 years for possession of marijuana. I'm not sure if they have priors, but at the very least the mom did have marijuana and it was known to the people who attempted to rob them that she did have marijuana.was it proven they were drug dealers?
