After an almost two-week long jury trial, a Guadalupe County jury found Brian Everett Day guilty of Capital Murder for the 2017 slaying of Thomas and Jenita Holland. Day was sentenced to serve life in prison without the possibility of parole by District Judge William Old. The State of Texas was represented by County Attorney Dave Willborn and Special Assistant Heather McMinn.

In the same week, Bruce Lee Kittelson was sentenced to serve his life in prison for the 2018 murder of Rocky Weaver by District Judge Jessica Crawford. The State of Texas was represented in that trial again by Heather McMinn as well as ACA Patton Zarate. The trial for the Kittelson case took place in early May of this year, Kittelson was found guilty, and the sentencing occurred on June 13, 2022.

Guadalupe County Attorney Dave Willborn stated that the excellent work by the Guadalupe County Sheriff’s Office and the diligence of his office was key to ensuring that justice was done in each of these cases. “In both of these cases, law enforcement took special care to investigate the cases in precisely the right way, so that my office could bring the evidence to the citizens of Guadalupe County, and so that these murderers could be held accountable. This sends a message that violent crime will not be tolerated in our county, and that taking someone's life will get you thrown behind bars for the rest of yours.”

Of special note were the efforts, patience, and assistance of the families of the victims in each case. According to County Attorney Willborn, “Without the sheer toughness and bravery of the families involved in these cases, this could not have been done. At the most difficult time in their lives, these families stepped up and spoke out. I admire their courage and resilience.”

Willborn also thanked the jurors in both cases. “The jurors in each of these cases are a shining example of people who take their civic duty seriously. They paid close attention to the facts presented to them and came to the right conclusion. The system cannot function without good people like them.”

There are three more murder cases awaiting jury trial this year in Guadalupe County.

County Attorney Dave Willborn, Assistant CA Jon Fischer and Jeff Alexander with ATX Auctions partnered up and were able to procure 150 bicycles for needy kids in Guadalupe County.

"I can't tell you how appreciative I am to Fischer and Jeff for helping come through with these bikes, and just in time for summer vacation" Willborn said. "I'm also grateful for the help I got from Patton, Jonathan and Victor putting these things together today. It was very hot, but it was worth it. These folks are true public servants."

Willborn said he hopes to make summer a bit more enjoyable for these kids because he knows times are tough all around. "Everyone is having a hard go of it these days. With prices skyrocketing on everything from gas to groceries, small luxuries like bicycles are a lot harder for some families to get their hands on. I'm happy that my friends and family are in a position to help."

The first 60 bicycles went out the door today for use in the Badges, Bikes and Tykes event which will be held tomorrow at Starcke Park.

Guadalupe County Jury Sentences Convicted Child Molester to 60 Years in Prison.

After a four day jury trial, a Guadalupe County jury sentenced Bobby Bordelon, 48, to 60 years in prison without the possibility of parole for Continuous Sexual Abuse of a Child on Thursday. Bordelon was also convicted of Aggravated Sexual Assault of a Child, one count of Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon against a child and two counts of Aggravated Assault against an adult for which he received sentences of 50 years, 10 years, 2 years and 2 years, respectively. The State of Texas was represented by Heather McMinn and Jonathan Fischer.

County Attorney Dave Willborn praised the hard work and dedication of his office and law enforcement. “Heather and Jonathan put hundreds of hours of work into this case. Their effort paired with the work done by Schertz PD and the Guadalupe County CAC made it so that this monster will spend the rest of his life behind bars.”

The bravery of the victims, according to McMinn, was the most crucial part of the case. “These young children had the courage to tell their families what was happening to them and the families immediately reached out to law enforcement for help. The Guadalupe County Children's Advocacy Center and law enforcement worked diligently to get these children the help and resources they needed. If these children didn’t stand up for themselves and tell what happened, we wouldn’t have been able to help put an end to it,” she said. “I am thankful to finally give this family closure.”

Willborn expressed his gratitude to the jurors in the case, saying “this type of sentence should send a resounding message to the perpetrators out there - if you touch our children, you’ll die in prison.”

Bordelon will not be eligible for release until after his 99th birthday.
