Ryan Holle

Ryan Joseph Holle (born November 17, 1982) is an American convict found guilty in 2004 of first-degree murder under the felony murder rule for lending his car to a friend after the friend and others at a party discussed their plans to steal drugs and money and beat up the 18-year-old daughter of Christine Snyder.

[5] During the burglary, one of the men, Charles Miller, Jr., used a shotgun he had found in the house to bludgeon Jessica Snyder to death.

[2] Prosecutors sought the death penalty for Charles Miller, Jr., who confessed to the killing; but he was sentenced to life without parole on May 12, 2005.

The victim's father, Terry Snyder, concurred: "It never would have happened unless Ryan Holle had lent the car.

"[2] Holle was the only involved person to be offered a plea bargain that might have led to a sentence of only 10 years, but he refused the deal.
