A Georgia man who pleaded guilty to shooting his wife in the head as she slept will spend more than a decade in prison.
On the morning of Sept. 7, 2022, James Wilson III, 77, called 911 to report the shooting and admitted to the McDuffie County Sheriff that he killed his wife. During a press conference held days after Wilson was arrested for the murder of his wife, 75-year-old Virginia "Sue" Wilson, Sheriff Logan Marshall said that he was one of the first to arrive at the scene. Marshall and his deputies were greeted by the sight of James Wilson in his front yard, on the ground, holding a gun to his chest.
Terry Lloyd, an Assistant District Attorney for the Toombs Judicial Circuit, recounted the confrontation in court on Thursday, saying that James Wilson reportedly told Marshall, "I done made a mess, I killed her."
