The

case of a Coweta County woman who allegedly

plotted to kill her husband is now headed for the

Fayette County Grand Jury.

Monday

morning, Courtney Jacob's attorney waived the

right for an arraignment and the case will now go

before the grand jury for possible indictment at

a special called session in January.

Jacob,

also known as Courtney Kimbrough, 37, of Kelly

Farm Road in Newnan, is charged with criminal

attempt to kill her husband.

In

last month's hearing, Griffin Judicial Circuit

District Attorney Bill McBroom asked the judge to

deny bond because if Jacob had been successful in

killing her husband, the case would have

ultimately been a death penalty case.

"This

was very cold and calculating," McBroom

said.

Although

the couple was just married for three months,

McBroom said Jacob, a self-employed riding

instructor, started seeking people to kill her

husband at the beginning of November. After

hearing of Jacob's plans, an unnamed Peachtree

City resident went to the Peachtree City police

with the tale, police said.

The

Peachtree City police called in the services of

the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, who sent in

an undercover hit man to talk to Jacob about her

plan.

In

return for her husband's death, Jacob and the GBI

agent agreed on a $20,000 price tag, said

McBroom. To show the agent she was serious,

McBroom said, she gave him a ring as a "down

payment" Nov. 15 and gave him $500 shortly

before she was arrested at a Peachtree City

McDonald's restaurant on Ga. Highway 54 in late

November.

The

rest of the money, McBroom said, would be

delivered after she collected on Kimbrough's

insurance policy.

Jacob's

attorney, Nelson Tyrone, dismissed the charges

and said the allegations did not fit his client's

previous behavior. He said she would be

undergoing psychiatric evaluation to determine

her mental state at the time of her arrest.
