The lawyer for a Hempfield woman accused in the October shooting death of her husband said he’s ready for a fast-tracked trial to begin in March.
William Steel, 54, was found shot to death in the bedroom of the couple’s Merlin Lane home last Oct. 18.
“We want to the jury to decide this case as soon a possible,” Andrews said following a pretrial hearing on Thursday.
Andrews on Thursday withdrew a request that asked a judge set a bond in the case that would allow for Steel’s pretrial release.
Westmoreland County Common Pleas Court Judge Christopher Feliciani set Steel’s case for trial in March.
