A Lawrence County, Alabama woman who is charged with capital murder in commission to arson is requesting a plea deal.

Susie Ella Stovall was arrested for her involvement in a house fire in 2015 that claimed the life of her husband. Azrel Gene Stovall, was found dead in their double-wide mobile home.

Stovall has submitted a letter to the judge stating that she is ready to take a plea deal or go to trial after seven years of residing in the Lawrence County Jail.

Stovall’s original trial date was set for June 28th 2022, but was continued due to her request for another mental competency evaluation.
