James Addy

I was so happy to hear that because my sister got justice.

My mom and dad got justice.

You asked me earlier what I was surprised at during the trial.

Up until this point, James Addy has fully exercised his right to remain silent throughout the trial, but now he's ready to open up and give the court his version of what he says really happened.

Jim took the opportunity to really lay out how he felt about this case.

There was no way that I could have done this crime.

And he's going to point to someone he says is the true killer.

Thank you and have a seat.

We're here today on 18AC-CR01983, State Prisoner James Addy.

The matter comes on today for final disposition.

Two months after his conviction, James Addy is formally sentenced.

Dr. Addy, having been convicted by a jury of your peers of the charge of murder in the first degree, I hereby sentence you to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole, that being the sentence mandated by law.

Normally, criminal defendants keep their mouth shut.

They say yes when they're supposed to, and they move on their way to get their appeal going.

Addie insists that Molly was the love of his life.

He says he misses her terribly and would have done anything to keep her happy.

Addy is now asking for a new trial.

He's complaining to the judge that his defense counsel was ineffective.

Jim honestly let his defense attorney have it.

He said that he did not think that TJ did a great job.
