CHARLOTTE, NC — A school nurse supervisor accused in a murder-for-hire plot pleaded not guilty in federal court.

WCCB Charlotte was there as Fathia Davis rushed out of the federal courthouse in Uptown Friday.  Police say Fathia Davis told an undercover detective she would pay $4,000 for someone to shoot her ex-husband in the head.  She’s accused of giving the detective her ex-husband’s address, a picture of him and a $300 deposit.

Davis’ attorney, John Snyder spoke only to WCCB Charlotte about his client’s state of mind.

“Anyone involved in the criminal justice system, whether it’s a custody case or criminal case, there’s always an emotional toll of being involved in the system,” said Snyder.

Davis’ trial isn’t expected to begin until this summer at the earliest.  Davis is a nurse with the Mecklenburg County Health Department’s school health program.  She is suspended without pay.
