Teen suspect barred from slain mom's rites
Hi Dr. L.:
So far this is all that I can find on the trial. These two stories were
in the SD Union Archives. I'm still out there looking. :) I couldn't
find anything in the LA Times.

LOS ANGELES -- A court order allowing a jailed teen-ager to attend her
slain mother's funeral yesterday was rescinded by a judge hours before
the
service.
Amber Bray, 18, was charged with helping her boyfriend, Jeffrey Glenn
Ayers, 22, kill Dixie Lee Hollier, 42, on Jan. 16 in Hollier's Burbank
home. Prosecutors say the defendants plotted for months to kill the
woman.
Superior Court Judge James Bascue ruled Tuesday that the teen-ager could
attend the mother's funeral at a Burbank church but not the burial at
Forest Lawn Memorial Park, Hollywood Hills.
But the judge changed his mind yesterday after the Sheriff's Department
informed him that a deputy who gave permission for the trip didn't have
the
authority to do so, said a spokesman for the District Attorney's Office.

Couple jailed in slaying of Burbank woman
18-Jan-1996 Thursday
BURBANK -- A woman allowed her boyfriend into her house and stood by as
he
shot, beat and stabbed her mother to death, police said yesterday.
Jeffrey Glenn Ayers, 21, was still attacking Dixie Hollier, 42, when
police
arrived at the home early Tuesday, police said.
Ayers surrendered and Hollier, a manager in the international division
at
Warner Bros. Records in Burbank, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Ayers and the victim's daughter, Amber Merrie Bray, 18, were arrested
and
held without bail.
Investigators said documents recovered from Ayers and Bray indicated
that the two believed that some money would become available if the
mother was
dead.
