Case Summary
Lacy Jolee Boles stands trial in the Paulding County Superior Court facing charges including malice murder, felony murder, and aggravated assault for the December 2019 death of her husband, Daniel Akers. While Boles originally reported the incident as a suicide after deputies found Akers dead from a gunshot wound to the head at their Dallas, Georgia home, subsequent Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) autopsy findings contradicted her account, leading investigators to conclude the wound was not self-inflicted and resulting in her arrest.
