While in prison, you come forward to police about Holly.
I actually had a conversation with my attorney, and he had told me something that hit home pretty hard.
He said, you know, this is, you take this fall, but the next one would be on you.
Elkins says she was aware that Beard and Burkett were in a bitter custody battle over their child, but denies helping him.
I just couldn't believe some of the things that I had heard, you know.
Prosecutors used phone records and online purchase history to link Holly Elkins to the 2020 shooting and stabbing death of Alyssa Burkett.
The prosecution in this case had everything at their disposal.
They had every tool in the shed and they used them all.
Elkin says she was aware that Beard and Burkett were in a bitter custody battle over their child, but denies helping him.
Holly Elkin's defense was this was a custody fight, and it wasn't her that did this.
Elkins' attorneys disputed that she was part of the drug planting on Alyssa's vehicle or that she had anything to do with the GPS tracking devices found on the car.
They rejected the argument that Holly was the mastermind in Alyssa's killing.
I was so relieved, even though I felt like we were going to get the guilty verdict.
I just was worried, like, about the jury putting it all together, because it's so much.
