Production note: The initial draft and public-record normalization were automated. The Registry Recognizer Editorial Desk manually checked the booking time, six charge labels, statute identifiers, felony classifications, agency fields, bond fields and mugshot URL against the Russell County active-inmate feed on August 1, 2026. The desk also reviewed Alabama Judicial System pattern jury instructions for the three cited statutes. An automated Russell County court-source search found no candidate case, so this article does not state a docket number, procedural posture or disposition. The accompanying image is the exact booking-source photograph linked to this roster entry; stored bytes were matched to the current source without making a visual identity judgment.
Russell County's public active-inmate feed lists Anthony Demorris Holt as booked at 9:17 p.m. on May 3, 2024. As reviewed on Aug. 1, 2026, the feed lists six charges, marks each with the felony classification “F,” attributes each to “JAIL” and reports a required bond amount of $0.
The first charge is labeled “Homicide-Capital Murder-During Robbery 1st Degree” and cites Ala. Code § 13A-5-40(a)(2). A second is labeled “Homicide-Capital Murder-Committed from a Vehicle” and cites § 13A-5-40(a)(18). The remaining four entries are each labeled “Obstruction-Failure to Appear/Bail Jumping Felonies” and cite § 13A-10-39. The feed records no disposition for any of the six entries.
For legal context, Alabama Judicial System pattern jury instructions describe § 13A-5-40(a)(2) as intentional murder committed during first-degree robbery, and § 13A-5-40(a)(18) as intentional murder committed through a deadly weapon fired or otherwise used within or from a vehicle. The instruction for § 13A-10-39 describes first-degree bail jumping as failing to appear after release in connection with a murder or Class A or B felony charge. Those descriptions explain the cited statutes; they do not establish that the allegations are true.
Holt is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty. A jail roster entry and criminal charge are not convictions.
