The feds are gearing up for the trial of a woman accused of killing Pittsburgh FBI agent Sam Hicks in 2008.
The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports that U.S. District Judge Terrence F. McVerry has ordered the federal jury administrator to summon 350 people to serve as the jury pool for the March 7 trial. The potential jurors will report to the courthouse on Feb. 14 for preliminary instructions.
Christina Korbe is charged with shooting Hicks to death. Hicks and other agents had come to the house to serve an arrest warrant for Korbe’s husband. She opened fire, killing Hicks. Her husband Robert Korbe has been sentenced to 25 years in prison on drug and other charges.
Authorities said when the agents came to the home, Robert Korbe ran in the basement to get rid of cocaine and his wife Christina opened fire from upstairs.
In November 2009, the Baltimore FBI building was named after Hicks, who had been a Baltimore cop before joining the FBI.
