A 55-year-old Georgia woman will spend the rest of her life behind bars for the slaying of her husband after she shot him to death following a disagreement about her seeing other men in their open marriage.

Cheryl Coe was convicted Monday of murder and aggravated assault in the death of 48-year-old Luther "Luke" Coe III in Coweta County. She was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole, according to a courtroom report from the Newnan Times-Herald .

The Coweta County Sheriff's Office responded around 7:30 p.m. on June 23, 2021, to the Coe home on Tommy Lee Cook Road in Newnan after the defendant called 911 to report she shot her husband when she mistook him for an intruder.
