Law enforcement doesn't even have to chase after folks like Mr. Holcomb. They ALWAYS catch themselves.

What a dummy, he was only a suspect, now he's got more charges added to his list.

After the execution, they revive him and then do it all over again

LiveInGreenBay, I agree. Smarter criminals know that escape attempts will bring more time in prison.

I have just used the Search box and found The Innocence Project There are a couple of cases there for you to read.

The murdered guy's girlfriend is an eyewitness and she will testify for the prosecution. Then it will be up to the jury to find him guilty. There will be more evidence to prove that these suspects are guilty.

I do not want anyone who is innocent to be sent to jail on an eyewitness mistaken testimony. I am looking out for your rights as well as my own.

Sure, most of the prisoners claim to be innocent but there are private organizations that do help wrongfully convicted defendants prove th... [ More ]

l watch those shows as well M including the 1st 48hrs . Since Holcomb is one of 7 suspects it's very likely that the cops got one or more of these guys to name names as to who else was with you at the scene of the crime. Once the cops start saying you alone are going down for all of this unless you tell us what we need to know ..many of these guys start talking. The idea that one guy is willing to take the rap for all the others is few far between. You going to serve 15 to life while your accomp... [ More ]

music I really enjoy all your posts but you have this one wrong. Yes, innocent until proven guilty; however, the murdered guy's girlfriend was an eyewitness. This scum shot him in front of his children despite his pleas not to do it. This is a slam dunk for a capital offense. This is one instance where I wish a lottery winner wasn't a winner. Sad that his children have to live with this memory.

All suspects in America are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. Stand up for your rights before you lose them.

The show, Forensic Files, has shown how witnesses can make mistakes and send the wrong person to prison. While the forensics today have sent many to prison.

There has not been a trial yet. (Hence no sentencing yet.) The guy is a suspect. All articles on the subject are already linked in the story.

Well he probably had nothing to lose but the consequences that come with it. Good luck with that because they are going to bury you young man

Todd would you link the original article and recent concerning sentencing?

I'm glad he was caught

No, he sure didn't, Mr. Bluedog101.

And the spiders and other creepy-crawly things. . . . well, that's probably what flushed him out.

I guess that's why science hasn't eradicated the doggone things yet. For just this sort of case.

(imagine if crooks could hide anywhere, and not be freaked out by bugs).

Neither do I, as I am already scared just to leave my house because of them,

(though in reality, I've never had any such thing actually happen in my neighborhood, or within at least a 30 mile radius of where I'm at.)

I have no such associations, and will have none that even entertain any thots of burglary/arson/home invasion, whatever you want to call it.

Glad that he was caught. I have no sympathy at all for violent offenders.

It stands to reason, he was able to escape from Benny Hill County Jail.

Holcomb did himself a favor by being recaptured. They could have declared open season on him if his pants were slipping while running away and they thought he was reaching for something.

Enjoy your stay in prison Lowlife

He sure didn't enjoy his 'freedom' very long; especially in a crawl space with spiders and who know what else. Too bad one didn't bite his azz.

Accused lottery murderer recaptured

Lottery Post — Fri, 10 Jun 2016 14:03:08 GMT

The suspect accused of murdering a Georgia Lottery winner has now been caught, after he escaped from prison Wednesday.

Officials found Earnest Holcomb in Ocilla around 8:20 p.m. Thursday evening.

Authorities followed up on a tip that led to Holcomb's capture, they aren't releasing specific details about where he was found to protect the identity of the tipster. But Sheriff Bobby McLemore did say that he was found hiding underneath an Ocilla house.

Holcomb escaped from the Ben Hill Count... [ More ]
