Zach Adams was sentenced to spend the rest of his life in prison for killing and kidnapping Holly Bobo, but his two week long trial is likely to cost an already cash strapped county tens of thousands of dollars.

From housing jurors, to security costs, to postage needed to mail subpeonas, some officials believed Decatur County could end up with a bill for the trial well over $100,000.

"It’s gonna cost the county quite a bit of money but it’s got to be done," Decatur County Sheriff Keith Byrd said.

Byrd said that an exact total likely won't be known for weeks as officials are still working to gather invoices from the last few weeks.
