JONESBOROUGH, Tenn. (AP) — The aunt of a Georgia man charged with killing and dismembering a teenage Walker County couple must serve her entire two-month jail sentence for trying to destroy a reputed confession tape, a judge has ruled.

Attorneys for Marie Hawk Holmes, who was sentenced last month, argued Thursday for their client's early release, saying the woman, 75, is too old and has too many medical needs to serve the full time.

But Judge Lynn Brown instead agreed with District Attorney General Joe Crumley, who said 60 days is little to pay for Holmes' crime.

Holmes pleaded guilty to trying to destroy evidence after asking her nephew's ex-wife to get rid of a tape recording in which Howard Hawk Willis allegedly confessed to killing and dismembering newlyweds Adam Chrismer, 17, and Samantha Leming, 16, of Chickamauga in October.

Wilda Willis, Howard Hawk Willis's ex-wife, taped the conversation at the Washing-ton County Detention Center at Willis' request.

Before Willis' arrest, part of Chrismer's body was found in a Johnson City lake. After listening to the tape, investigators found the rest of Chrismer's remains and Leming's body in a Johnson City storage unit rented by Howard Willis' mother, Emma Hawk, also known as Betty Willis.

When Wilda Willis told Holmes and Hawk, 72, about the tape, they both told her to destroy it. Wilda Willis, who was cooperating with authorities, also recorded her con-versation with the two women.

Howard Willis, also of Chickamauga, is charged with two counts of first-degree mur-der and two counts of abuse of a corpse. Prosecutors plan to seek the death penalty if he is convicted
