(AP) Tim Holland says he never saw his wife hit their 7-year-old adopted son in the head with a hammer, despite telling that to detectives in January.

Under questioning from the defense Thursday, Tim Holland acknowledged numerous discrepancies between his previous statements and what he told the jury in his testimony Wednesday.

The 37-year-old Williamston man has pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in the death of Ricky Holland. He agreed to testify against his wife, Lisa, in exchange for prosecutors dropping first-degree murder charges against him.

Tim Holland led authorities to Ricky’s body in a marshy Ingham County game area earlier this year, nearly seven months after the boy went missing. Tim Holland says Lisa Holland killed the boy and he disposed of the body.
