CHARLOTTE, NC — A trial date is set for a Mecklenburg County school nurse supervisor accused of trying to hire a hit man to kill her ex-husband.

Jury selection in Fathia Davis’ trial will begin June 15. Β Her defense attorney wanted it delayed until August. Β John Snyder says his client is prepared for her day in court.

“You can always use more time,” said Snyder. Β “Just as a professional. Β Lock down more details and be as well prepared as possible. Β But we have plenty of time, and we’re ready to go.”

Police arrested Davis in February. Β Investigators say she told an undercover detective she would pay $4,000 for someone to shoot her ex-husband in the head.

Court documents claim Davis also tried to order a hit two years ago, but called it off because the man wanted sex in exchange.
