woman sitting in the county jail after an alleged

murder-for-hire scheme should know by Jan. 25 if

she will be indicted for attempted murder.

The

Courtney Jacob case is one of several to be

considered by the Fayette County grand jury when

that body convenes for a one-day session.

Authorities

expect between 30 and 50 cases to be heard by the

grand jury during this session.

According

to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, Jacob, a

Coweta County riding instructor also known by her

married name of Courtney Kimbrough, gave an

undercover agent a $500 down payment to kill her

husband, with $20,000 more promised after his

death and insurance settlement.

She

was arrested Nov. 22 in a restaurant in Peachtree

City after money was exchanged.

She

and her husband, Robert Kimbrough, had been

married only three months at the time of the

arrest.

After

being denied bond, she waived her preliminary

hearing in Magistrate Court and the case was sent

straight to the grand jury.

This

session, in addition to the Jacob case, is also

conspicuous by what will not be heard. Isaac

Pearson's case will not be ready by that date, a

spokesperson for the district attorney's office

said.

Pearson's

next hearing is set for Wednesday, Jan. 26, in

Magistrate Court. He was arrested Dec. 28 after

his girlfriend and three of her female relatives

were found shot to death in his home just outside

Fayetteville.
