The attorney for a northwest Georgia woman – who was indicted by a grand jury on a charge of murder – is requesting that evidence be suppressed in the upcoming trial.

Renee Lanham, 53, stands accused of shooting and killing her 75 year old husband in September of 2017 at their home on Butler Dairy Road

At that time Sheriff Mark Schrader told media outlets, “Mr. Lanham was shot to death in what was made to look like a burglary; my investigators, and agents with the GBI, have been thoroughly examining and collecting evidence in the case since becoming involved with it.  Just like in any case, they have followed the evidence and it has led them to Renee Lanham as the person who planned the murder of her husband and saw to it that those plans were followed through with.  I am extremely satisfied with the work the investigators and GBI Agents have done and I’m glad to be able to bring a little closure to the rest of Mr. Lanham’s family”.

However Lanham’s attorney – Albert Palmour of Summerville – says Lanham was not properly made aware of her Miranda rights and repeatedly asked for her attorney to be present when she signed a consent form to have her Miranda rights waived.

A judge will have to rule on the suppression of evidence at a later hearing.
