Limestone County District Attorney Kristi Valls said Wednesday she would seek the death penalty for Andrew Reid Lackey, 23, who is facing a capital murder charge in Limestone Circuit Criminal Court. Lackey, indicted on four charges, including murder during a burglary, murder during a robbery, burglary and robbery, entered a not guilty plea at his arraignment in 2006 before Limestone County Circuit Judge Robert Baker. A subsequent investigation revealed that Lackey was acquainted with Newman’s son and grandson, who said they had discussed in front of Lackey that the elder Newman was “well off” financially. They went inside and found the victim’s body in his blood-spattered den, where they also found evidence of a violent struggle with pieces of overturned furniture.
