Bomb scare
shakes up Grad

When police located the box, the
bomb squad was brought in and the
library was evacuated.
Employeeswereallowedtoreturn

Man says he
never saw wife kill
their adopted son
LANSING (AP) - A day after
Tim Holland testified his wife
killed their 7-year-old adopted son,
the defense attacked his credibility
yesterday by focusing on numerous
lies he told the police and public.
Under cross-examination at
Lisa Holland's murder trial, Tim
Holland said he never saw her hit
their son in the head with a ham-
mer despite telling that to detec-
tives in January.
He said he never saw Ricky
lying in a pool of blood in their
house and never wanted him to
stay with relatives because of
abuse he suffered at the hands of
his wife - contrary to statements
he previously made to police and
during a recorded phone call with
his mother.
Holland also said he lied when
he told police his wife dumped
Ricky's body in a marshy game
area.
The 37-year-old testified
Wednesday that he returned home
from a quick errand July 1, 2005,
to find Ricky dead in the boy's bed
and his wife screaming she "didn't
mean to do it" He said his wife
told him in December that she had
struck Ricky with a hammer.
Tim Holland, who now says
he disposed of the body, told the
defense yesterday that he never
asked his 33-year-old wife what
she had done to cause the boy's
death.
