JACKSON Tenn (August 19, 2015) – A Jackson attorney goes on trial today accused of tampering with evidence in a murder investigation.

The prosecution says Edythe “Didi” Christie deleted evidence that linked her son, John Christie, to the death of his wife Brittany Christie, .

In 2014 a Madison County grand jury indicted Didi Christie on one charge of a tampering with evidence, and John Christie on second-degree murder and tampering with evidence charges.

John Christie was arrested in April 2014 accused of killing his wife, Brittany Christie, and staging it to look like an overdose.

Brittany Christie’s body was found in a room at the Old Hickory Inn on the 45 ByPass in Jackson. According to police, an autopsy revealed she died from a lethal combination of a sedative and heroin.

According to the Tennessee Bar Association, Christie is still an active attorney and the Bar Association will only petition to suspend her license if she is found guilty.
