Leesburg Man Anthony Scott Charged with Murder
LEESBURG, Ga. - A 54-year-old man has been charged with the shooting death of his wife in what Leesburg's police chief says is the southwest Georgia city's first murder case in at least 37 years.
Police Chief Charles Moore says Anthony Scott has been charged with malice murder in the shooting death of his wife, Cathy Scott, also 54.
Moore says Cathy Scott was shot four times and died later at Phoebe Putney Memorial Hospital in Albany.
At a hearing Tuesday, Scott said only that he could not afford a lawyer. He was taken back to the Lee County jail to await his next hearing.
Moore says the Scotts both worked at Marine Corps Logistics Base-Albany and had been married about 25 years.
