WATCH LIVE: Day 2 in the case against Lacy Jo Lee Boles

Lacy Jolee Boles is standing trial in Paulding County, Georgia, accused of murdering her husband, Daniel Akers, on December 22, 2019. Authorities initially responded to the couple’s home after receiving a 911 call reporting a possible suicide. Akers, 36, was found dead from a gunshot wound to the head. Investigators later questioned Boles’ account of what happened, citing inconsistencies between her statements and evidence found at the scene. A Georgia Bureau of Investigation medical examiner subsequently determined that the gunshot wound was not self-inflicted, and the death was ruled a homicide. Boles faces charges including malice murder, felony murder, aggravated assault, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony. Prosecutors allege she shot her husband and attempted to make his death appear to be a suicide. Boles has pleaded not guilty and maintains that her husband died by suicide. The prosecution must prove the charges beyond a reasonable doubt, and she is presumed innocent unless found guilty. ► Support East Idaho News: https://www.eastidahonews.com/donate/ ► Subscribe to East Idaho News: https://www.youtube.com/c/Eastidahonews?sub_confirmation=1 ► Subscribe to Courtroom Insider: https://www.youtube.com/@Courtroom.Insider ► Get merch: https://www.eastidahonews.com/shop/ ► Download our free app: http://marketplace-redirect.doapps.com/3236 ► Like East Idaho News on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/EastIdahoNews ► Like Courtroom Insider on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/courtinsider ► Follow East Idaho News on X: https://twitter.com/EastIDNews ► Follow Courtroom Insider on X: https://x.com/courtroominside ► Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/eastidahonews/ ► Subscribe to our free newsletter: https://www.eastidahonews.com/newsletter/
