 SAVANNAH, Tenn. — Zach Adams will be sentenced to life in prison without parole plus 50 years after both sides reached an agreement in the murder case of 20-year-old nursing student Holly Bobo. 
 
 This means jurors did not have to decide Adams’ fate in regards to the death penalty, as was expected Saturday. 
 
 After the sentencing deal was announced in court, Karen Bobo addressed the jury and told them about her daughter. 
 
 "She was the sweetest person I have ever known in my life," she said about her daughter Holly.

 She told jurors they had done the right thing. 
 
 "Last night I saw my husband smile for the first time in six and a half years." 
 
 Finally, she asked Zach Adams to look at her as she told him: "I know that my daughter fought and fought hard ... and I know that she begged for her life because my daughter loved life. But you chose to take it from her — look at me, please — but you have shown absolutely no remorse for anything you've done." 
 
 Adams' defense attorney Jennifer Thompson said afterwards that she had instructed him to not show emotion, so he remained stoic. She thanked the Bobo family for going along with attorneys' agreement.

 She plans to file for a mistrial and then appeal in the next 30 days. She said she has to look at what the grounds are for why she would file for a mistrial. 
 
 Prosecutors said the Bobo family had reluctantly agreed on the deal for Adams' prison sentence. 
 
 "The Bobo family chose to end this thing with grace," Paul Hagerman said. 
 
 A jury Friday evening returned a verdict of guilty on all charges against Adams in the kidnapping, rape and fatal shooting of Tennessee nursing student Holly Bobo. 
 
 Co-defendants Dylan Adams and Jason Autry will be in court for status hearings on their cases at 2 p.m. on Nov. 14.

 SAVANNAH, Tenn. — The state has agreed to sentence Zach Adams to life without parole plus 50 years in the death, rape and abduction of Holly Bobo. 
 
 The agreement was made between Adams' defense attorneys and the prosecution Saturday morning before the decision of whether to sentence Adams to life or give him the death penalty was expected to go before the jury. 
 
 Still, after the judge and attorneys announced agreement to the charges, prosecutor Jennifer Nichols called Bobo's mother Karen Bobo to the stand to give her final words in a victim impact statement. 
 
 "First of all, I would like for you all to know this decision had absolutely nothing to do with that animal," Karen Bobo said. "It had to do with the future of our family."

 Karen Bobo talked about her daughter as a young woman who loved life and serving other and someone who took joy in simple things. 
 
 "She was the sweetest soul I have ever known in my life," Karen Bobo said. "A sweetness and kindness that many people can’t imagine. I can see the love." 
 
 Finally, Karen Bobo looked over at Adams and demanded that he look her in the eyes. 
 
 "I know that my daughter fought and fought hard for her life," she said. "And I know that she begged for her life because my daughter loved and enjoyed her life, but you chose to take that from her and you have shown absolutely no remorse for anything that you have done."

 Full Coverage: Holly Bobo Murder Trial
– The man who kidnapped, raped, and killed a 20-year-old nursing student in Tennessee has been sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole, WTVF reports. Holly Bobo disappeared in 2011 after going into the woods outside her parents house with an unidentified man; her body wasn't found until 2014. According to USA Today, a jury found 33-year-old Zach Adams guilty on all counts Friday, and Adams accepted a plea deal Saturday morning before a jury was set to decide if he would receive the death penalty. In addition to the life sentence for murder, Adams received two consecutive 25-year sentences for kidnapping and rape. Karen Bobo, Holly's mother, called Adams an "animal" while delivering a victim impact statement in court on Saturday. “I know that my daughter fought hard for her life and I know that she begged for her life because my daughter loved and enjoyed life,” Bobo said. “But you chose to take that from her and you have shown absolutely no remorse for anything that you have done.” Prosecutors say the Bobo family reluctantly agreed to the plea deal, WREG reports. Adams' attorney says she plans to file for a mistrial but first needs to figure out a reason for doing so. Two other defendants are still awaiting trial in the case. A motive for the murder of Holly Bobo is still unknown.
