Episode 6: Eye on the Sparrow - Jan 16, 2025 Court hearing with defense attorney Jennifer Thompson

Join Dr. Katie Spirko and Dana McLendon on a trip to Savannah, TN, for a court hearing and a stop by Zach Adams’ ransacked family home. They are joined by Jennifer Thompson, Zach’s former defense trial attorney, who pulls back the curtain on the flawed investigation and court proceedings leading to his wrongful conviction in 2017. Zach Adams was sent to prison, along with his brother Dylan, without a shred of physical evidence to back the co-defendant’s since-recanted testimony falsely implicating Zach for the 2011 disappearance and death of Holly Bobo, a 20-year-old nursing student from Dardin, TN, who vanished from her home one morning on the way to school, prompting what would become the most expensive, exhaustive investigation in the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation’s history. But with all those resources, did they get it right?? Spoiler alert: the answer is a resounding NO.
