The article's shorter than the one I posted yesterday, and it lists his finalized bond amount as well as his charges from Grimes County.

This article is from last year, but it talks about one of the victims that survived.

His arraignment from the day after the shooting. It's a three minute video.

A few week trial and hang from the nearest live oak tree.
He's not eligible for capital punishment, and I explain why on the first page of the thread.
She sounds umm fun.

That actually gave me more insight into the mental workings of the accused.
Absolutely
In his letter that was filed in the court records last Monday, he claimed self-defense because of threats he says the victims made to him. He also claimed that he was falsely arrested and imprisoned and has never given his consent to be held in jail. He referred to it as a system of slavery and said that he's not the prosecutor's slave. He then demanded that the judge dismiss the charges against him and said his high bond is cruel and unusual punishment (he previously referred to the amount as exorbitant) and that he's being imprisoned for debt. He referred to himself by his full name (Larry Winston Bollin) every time he wrote his name instead of just his first and last name.
That should give some more insight into how his mind works.
If they are angling for an insanity plea this certainly lays some groundwork.
He might be, but he doesn't have a new trial date yet, so we won't know for a while. He still has another trial in Grimes County for shooting Trooper Tovar, but that will probably happen after the Brazos County trial.

This article has a PDF of his full letter to the judge that I mentioned last week.

One of his lawyers that he fired (Craig Greaves, he's the one listed in the court records) is a Texas Super Lawyer, so he's in the top five percent of all lawyers in Texas, so that was really dumb of him, but not surprising, considering his letter.
I read that and he comes off like one of the Sovereign nutjobs
You read the letter or just the article? The letter's nine pages, so most people probably won't read it.
I read the first 3 pages of the letter and quit. You could smell the crazy coming off the paper through the internet.lethalninja said:

I'm thinking he'll represent himself at trial, since his father, Dwight Bollin, isn't licensed to practice law in Texas, so when the article said he was his lawyer, I don't think it meant it literally, but it meant that his son chose him to help with his case instead of his three lawyers. It looks like he'll try to claim self-defense, since he didn't want to undergo the psychological examination, so I don't think he'll claim insanity, as he doesn't believe himself to be insane.
He has a status hearing over Zoom in Grimes County on Monday for shooting Trooper Tovar, but no updates in Brazos County since the letter was filed in the court records on August 22nd. He's been in jail since April 8th last year, so it's been a year and a half.
If he's convicted and sentenced to the maximum on all nine counts and each of his sentences were allowed to run consecutively (his Brazos and Grimes County sentences can run consecutively to each other, but all the Brazos County sentences run concurrent to each other and the same for Grimes County), he would get either life with the possibility of parole after 120 years plus an additional one hundred years (eligible for parole after 170 years) or 496 years (eligible for parole after 170 years). In reality, the maximum he can get is life with the possibility of parole after sixty years or 198 years (eligible for parole after sixty years), but he would be 87 when he's eligible for parole.
Does anyone think he deserves 496 years with parole eligibility after 170 if it was possible for him to live that long? He shot seven people (including a police officer), killing one of them, and one of the victims that survived was shot five times. I think he deserves the maximum sixty years to life, but I don't know about 496 years.

I think life in prison is doing him a favor.
Would you really want him released after 250 years or so?lethalninja said:

Have you ever served on a jury before? I haven't, but I've seen several jury selections, trials and sentencing hearings.
No, but I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night.
Has anyone read his full letter to the judge from the WTAW article?
He can technically get probation on each of his charges other than the murder charge (including the attempted capital murder charges), but that's obviously very unlikely to happen. He can receive up to a $10,000 fine on each of the nine charges. His next hearing is on December 13th in Grimes County. He still doesn't have any Brazos County updates.

https://wtaw.com/brazos-county-commissioners-hear-again-from-the-mother-of-a-jail-inmate/
His mother claims there haven't been any changes in his treatment since the last time she spoke with commissioners and that his father hasn't received discovery evidence from the District Attorney's office (they provided it to Craig Greaves, his Brazos County attorney that he fired, and he also previously fired his two Grimes County attorneys).
She also claims that he was acting in self-defense against a gang at Kent Moore Cabinets (in his letter to the judge, he said that the victims threatened to kill and mutilate him according to the modus operandi (mode of operation) of MS-13 members) and that on the day of the Kent Moore shooting, a man in a red car fired multiple shots at him while he was sitting in her car. There's two minutes and 54 seconds of her comments at the bottom of the article.
Also, I noticed in the court records that Larry Bollin and Timothy "Tim" Smith, the victim he killed, have the same birthday (February 20, 1994 and February 20, 1981, respectively), which is a weird coincidence. In addition, one of his victims has a relatively minor felony conviction (he was sentenced to one hundred days in jail, and it was the lowest degree of felony), which I thought was ironic, since Larry Bollin didn't have a record before the shooting.
