CHEROKEE COUNTY, Ga. — The wife of a prominent Atlanta attorney accused of killing her husband and burning his body has been found guilty on all counts.
A jury convicted Melody Farris in the 2018 death of her husband in Cherokee County.
Last week, defense attorneys claimed that there was not enough evidence in this case to convict Melody Farris, but the jury felt otherwise.
In 2018, the body of Gary Farris was found in a wooded area behind a house on Purcell Lane.
After months of testing, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation determined Farris was killed by a gunshot.

Melody Farris, 59, of Alpharetta, was arrested in Tulahoma, Tennessee in June, and was charged with murder with malice, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and concealing the death of another.
Detectives said they believed Melody Farris shot and killed her husband inside their home and then tried to dispose of his body and evidence by burning it on their property.
“The body was severely burned, and when someone burns a body, it’s going to remove evidence that might have been in the body, and so it does pose challenges, and there are other evidence that needs to be collected,” said Cherokee County Sheriff’s Capt. Jay Baker. “I will say that a .38-caliber bullet was removed from the remains, that’s one of the ways we knew he had been shot.”
Melody Farris will be sentenced in December.
What?????
No suitcase involved?............
Gentlemen, anytime the woman in your life asks you; ‘Does this make me look fat?’
THINK before you answer!!
“Consider it a divorce.”
She seems nice....
A lot of women think they want a high powered motivated man; until they don’t. They learn to resent his long hours and work ethic. Then it turns to malice.
Nope, just a burn pile....it is Georgia after all. 😏
The trial revealed that she had affairs with two different men.
I watched a lot of the trial... 1st Timothy 6:10 kept popping into my mind over and over.
Then they should be get that punishment, too.
Yes
Ya know, Shakespeare had the same idea a long time ago.
What she did was wrong, but...
“The wife of a prominent Atlanta attorney”
...maybe the jury will go easy on her.
He was a Trump voter?
I have seen the evidence.
She is absolutely guilty...
The jailhouse phone calls sunk her..... she admitted she had knowledge of the location of his body and the condition it was in when she said “that body should not have had that much damage”.
And to think it was almost a hung jury
She’s 64 y/o....she will die in jail
He looks like a real peach. Not saying that he deserved it.
