MARTINSBURG, W.Va. — A woman accused of shooting her estranged husband to death in September 2007 is expected to remain in jail until her trial, which was scheduled for June 28 by 23rd Judicial Circuit Judge Christopher C. Wilkes.
In a status hearing Monday, Wilkes said he would not go along with a bail agreement for Maria Decicio-Smith, 38, who was indicted in May 2008 on one count of first degree-murder.
Police allege she shot Richard E. Amundson five times, according to court records. He was found facedown in the basement of Decicio-Smith’s home at 210 Gussie Ave. with a rotisserie fork near his left hand, police have said.
