Mom allegedly hires hitman to kill daughter, goes to trial this week
A Russell County mother accused of hiring a hitman to kill her daughter, more than 5 years ago, is expected to go to trial this week.
Stephanie Shea Graham was killed in July 2007. Her body was found by an Eufaula truck driver off Highway 165. Investigators believed at the time her mother, Lisa Graham, wanted her dead.
A co-defendant in the case, Kenneth Walton, is accused of shooting Stephanie and dumping her body. District Attorney Ken Davis said Walton confessed to police about how he and Graham plotted the murder.
Lisa Graham was charged with capital murder-for-hire. If convicted she faces the death penalty.
Jury selection started Monday and is expected to last through Thursday.
