A trial has been set for a woman accused of murdering her husband in Leavenworth.
The trial for Alexandra Gilson is scheduled to begin Sept. 27 in Leavenworth County District Court.
Gilson, 31, is charged with first-degree murder and two counts of interference with law enforcement. She is accused of stabbing her husband, Joshua, who was found dead Oct. 30 at his home in Leavenworth.
Gilson appeared in court Friday for her arraignment. She pleaded not guilty to the charges.
The arraignment was conducted using the Zoom online videoconferencing service. Zoom is being used for many Leavenworth County District Court proceedings because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
A preliminary hearing has been scheduled for a man charged with conspiracy to commit murder in Leavenworth.
The hearing for Jeffery M. Samulczyk is scheduled for Feb. 24 in Leavenworth County District Court. The date for the hearing was selected Friday as Samulczyk appeared in the court.
Samulczyk, 37, is charged with conspiracy to commit first-degree murder and interference with law enforcement.
The charges are connected to the stabbing death of Joshua Gilson, who was found dead Oct. 30 at his Leavenworth home.
Gilson’s wife, Alexandra, faces a charge for allegedly killing her husband.
Evidence will be presented during the Feb. 24 preliminary hearing, and a judge will determine if there is sufficient evidence for the case against Samulczyk to go forward.
