The Unconventional Career of Hugo Holland

Anthony Burns went on trial for the murder of Courtney Coco in 2022. Prosecutor Hugo Holland was forced to resign from his assistant DA position after trying to make a dubious weapons purchase, but was immediately hired by other parishes because of his success in court. The circumstantial case against Anthony Burns would be an uphill battle with no eyewitness to the crime and conflicting toxicology reports. A Texas man who said he'd nearly been t-boned at night by a car backing out of the abandoned home where Courtney's body was found had more elaborate story to tell.
