Atlanta Strip Clubs: Legislator’s wife investigated on allegations she tried to derail murder trial

Mitchell’s lawyer, David Wolfe, said Friday that Watts’ testimony cannot be believed. After Mitchell’s arrest, Watts called him at the jail and their conversations were recorded. On Friday, Wolfe played one call during which Watts could be heard telling Mitchell that she had lied to police about him.
Mitchell is on trial with co-defendant Prentice McNeil on charges they shot and killed Copeland. Prosecutors say the killing was carried out as revenge for a home invasion of Mitchell’s residence five days earlier by the International Robbing Crew.
Watts, a former stripper who is the mother of Mitchell’s two children, became a key witness when she helped police locate one of the weapons used in the killing — one of Mitchell’s handguns that she had hidden for him. Mitchell dumped another one of the weapons in a trash can at a McDonald’s, Watts testified.
