Rita Spurgeon, 50, is charged with the murder of her husband.The trial for a Whitfield County, Ga., woman accused of shooting her husband in the head as he slept was again postponed this week.
Police charged Rita Spurgeon, 50, with murder last June after her husband, Audie, was found dead in his bed.
Her trial was postponed this week, after Conasauga Judicial Circuit District Attorney Kermit McManus asked the court for an extension.
McManus said he received a 34-person witness list from the defense a week before the trial and he didn’t have time to prepare.
The trial was moved to Sept. 26.
