This collection brings together available recordings; it is not a certified or complete court record. Original titles and broadcasters are preserved.

Case background

Lacy Jolee Boles is being tried in Paulding County, Georgia, over the December 2019 death of her husband, Daniel Akers. Prosecutors allege she shot him and staged the scene; the defense says Akers took his own life. Boles has pleaded not guilty. Allegations are not findings of guilt.

More background & key dates

Opening statements and testimony began on November 11, 2026. This growing archive starts with the completed Court TV Day 1 broadcast. Later full-length recordings are added in date order after they become available as replays. Live coverage remains in the live courtrooms. June jury selection was interrupted and is outside this collection. This is a developing case; no verdict is reported here as of the November 12 source check.

    Before you watch

    Why does the archive start before the trial is over?

    You can catch up while proceedings continue. Completed full-length broadcasts are added as replays become available; an unfinished livestream is not listed as a completed recording.

    Which recordings are included?

    Court TV and Law&Crime full courtroom broadcasts are preferred. One primary broadcast per trial day avoids duplicate viewing; separately labeled parts may be included when a day is split. Individual highlights and commentary-only uploads are excluded.

    Is this an official complete court record?

    No. These are broadcaster recordings that may contain breaks, commentary or omissions. Original source titles and credits are retained, and playback availability may change.
