WBFF Fox 45 :: Timothy Bozza's Own Words Used Against Him in Court
Timothy Bozza hasn't taken the stand in his wife's murder trial, but his own words are used against him. In a videotaped interview, Bozza admits he wanted his wife killed and talked about paying a hit man. Defense attorneys say it's a plan their client never intended to follow through with. After being arrested for his wife's murder, Timothy Bozza started talking. Prosecutors say a phone call came form the man who killed Veronica Bozza, Timothy Bozza's business partner Cory Cotham. Timothy says while the men had discussed murder, he was never serious. Veronica's divorce attorney says during the fight for custody of the couple's son, Veronica began to fear for her safety.

"In her email, she said Tim looked at me and said 'Be careful it's coming' with an enraged look pointed at me with his right index." says Divorce Attorney Judge Philip Robinson.

The Bozza's financial planner says Timothy inquired about her $550,000 life insurance policy at his wife's funeral.

"He said he was glad I showed up he wanted to ask me about the life insurance policy and didn't know how to get in touch with me," says Financial Planner John Russell.

Bozza insists money was not a motive for murder, and that he never agreed to pay Cory Cotham to kill his wife. Prosecutors indicate they plan to call over a dozen witnesses. The testimony phase of the trial is expected to wrap up tomorrow.Timothy Bozza's Own Words Used Against Him in Court

Hungry TennCare eating more of state budget
May 24, 2013 16:56 GMT

JACKSON, Tenn. (AP) -- State Treasurer David Lillard says expanding health care costs could absorb funding the state used to spend on other needs.

The Jackson Sun (http://bit.ly/16eqTpT ) reported Lillard talked about the potential impact of the Affordable Care Act on Tennessee finances as he spoke to the West Tennessee Association of Health Underwriters on Thursday.

Lillard noted the state budget that goes into effect July 1 contains $391 million in new revenue and more than $300 million of that will be consumed by TennCare.

Lillard said support for higher education could further erode as a result. In 1990, state revenue funded more than half the cost of state universities. That percentage has already declined to about 38 percent and could be further reduced.
