Bobby Wilson's Family Lashes Out At D.A.

Bobby Wilson's Family Lashes Out At D.A.

Family of Bobby Wilson blames Baldwin County District Attorney Judy Newcomb for not guilty verdict in Eric Buzbee capital murder case


»  Comments | Post a Comment

Bobby Wilson's daughter voiced her frustration and disappointment in the not guilty verdict in the Eric Buzbee capital murder case and directed it to Baldwin County District Attorney Judy Newcomb.

"We feel the DA not being there to try this case actually hurt this case," says Tracey Goens. "This was a very important case in this county, my dad was a very important person and I just feel she should've been there to have a voice for us."

Goens says Assistant District Attorney Michael Pylant and his team of investigators did a great job handling the complex capital murder trial, but says DA Newcomb should have taken charge and prosecuted Eric Buzbee. But Newcomb was absent at all three trials.

"That hasn't set well with me," says Goens. "There was a second trial, where was she? The third trial? She should have been there on the seat next to the prosecutor."

Goens still believes Buzbee killed her father and says it will be a while before she accepts the verdict. The Wilson family is trying to put the robbery and murder that happened here in 2007 behind them and move on, but without closure, the family says moving on will be difficult.

Newcomb insists Buzbee killed Wilson but says the ultimate decision was up to the jury.

The Wilson's say they will not file a civil suit against Buzbee.
