Georgia’s highest court walked back their decision to reverse the felony murder charge of a woman whose husband shot and killed a Clayton County police officer.
In an opinion on Monday, the Georgia Supreme Court overturned an Oct. 31 Supreme Court decision that vacated Lisa Lebis' felony murder charge in the slaying of rookie officer Sean Callahan.

In their new ruling, the Court cited reasonable evidence that Lebis jointly possessed the Glock .357 that her husband, Tremaine, was carrying at the time that he shot and killed Callahan.
The Lebis’ were staying in a Motel 6 in Clayton County, when police were called to remove the couple for failure to pay. Callahan was shot as Tremaine was escaping. Both officers shot Tremaine, who died at the scene.
