Wife arrested for murder
By Norman Cooper www.nganews.com
Michele Lawrence has been arrested for the murder of
Terry Lawrence. Terry Lawrence of Blairsville, was "shot and
killed" on Jan. 4 in a pavilion on the campus of North Georgia
Technical College in Blairsville.The warrant at the Union
County Magistrate's Office stated that Michele "willingly
and knowingly did unlawfully and with malice aforethought, cause
the death of Terry Lawrence another human being, to-wit:
defendant did fire a .380 caliber hand gun striking the victim resulting in death."
The warrant, sought by a special agent of the Georgia Bureau
of Investigation, was issued Jan. 6, 2009.
"The wife has been charged with murder," said Union County
Investigator Mark Cecci, adding that the couple had been married
between 25 to 30 years.
A call was made Jan. 4 to E-911 Center at 8:57 a.m. about
shots fired on the campus. The Union County Sheriff's Office
and GBI responded. Michele was still at the pavilion
where Terry was found dead. Initial information provided
to the E-911 center suggested that a person was pulling out a
gun to do harm to another, but had accidentally shot themselves.
That information was discrepant with the Sheriff’s
Office’s description that Lawrence was "shot and killed"
at the incident site.
Sheriff Scott Stephens stated before Michele's arrest
that she was "cooperating" with law enforcement.
"She has not been spoken to or asked anything
since she was charged," Inv. Cecci said.
Details of the case are not being released, including
the question of how many shots were fired and
if the gun belonged to either Terry or Michele.
"We can not discuss that," Cecci said. "What I
can say is that it was a gun shot wound that resulted in
his death, and his wife was charged with murder. As
far as any particulars, we can not say anything right
now because it is still under investigation."
There is misinformation and rumors spreading
throughout the community about this case.
"People talk, and we know this," Inv. Cecci
said. "If we give too much information out, that could
contaminate a jury pool."
The GBI, with the assistance of the Sheriff's
office, continues to investigate the case.
According to the website Alliance Consulting
& Environmental Services, Inc., Terry A.
Lawrence was a Senior Hydrogeologist.
Union County tax records list Terry A. and
Michele M. Lawrence as property owners in Union
County.

When this first happened (before they knew the wife was the shooter) they were calling it a "domestic issue". Once they figured out the wife shot him, the phrase "domestic issue" was discontinued for some reason?
??This is exactly why you cannot rely on statistics when it comes to Domestic Violence.
