Wife Tried to Stop Husband From Taking His Own Life: Defense

Defense attorney, Brian Steel, who successfully represented Young Thug and Lil Durk, presented opening statements in Lacy Boles’ murder trial, emphasizing the torment burned into Boles’ mind after witnessing her husband, Daniel Akers, take his own life. Steel emphasized Akers’ alleged distant behavior before his death, claiming Akers told Boles, “You can’t help me, no one can help me,” as he held a gun towards his mouth on the night he died. Boles’ defense asserted that Boles lunged toward her husband, in an attempt to stop him, when the gun went off.
