ATLANTA -- A judge is scheduled to decide Friday whether an elderly woman convicted of shooting and killing her ex-boyfriend should get a new trial.
In 2006, an Atlanta jury convicted Lena Driskell of murder in the death of Herman Winslow, 85, in June 2005 at the assisted living home where they both lived.
Police said Driskell was angry that their romance had ended. She was sentenced to life in prison plus five years.
During her trial, the defense acknowledged that Driskell shot Winslow, but argued for a verdict of not guilty by reason of mental defect.
