After Judge Hannalore Kitts ruled that Adam Longoria would be bound for trial on charges of Capital Murder of Alicia DeBolt, and the Kansas Attorney General’s decision not to pursue the death penalty in the case, the family of Alicia DeBolt made a statement outside the Barton County Courthouse yesterday. Dawn DeBolt is the sister of Alicia DeBolt, and she spoke on behalf of the family.
