ATLANTA (AP) - An attorney for the woman charged in the killing of her husband outside their son's preschool says her defense team is already weighing whether she can receive a fair trial in metro Atlanta, where coverage of the case has been intense.

Attorney John Petrey said Friday it will be a challenge to find a pool of unbiased jurors to hear the case against Andrea Sneiderman, who has been charged with malice murder and criminal attempt to commit murder in the 2010 killing of her husband.

Another key question is whether the man convicted of shooting her husband will be a witness at trial.

In Thursday's indictment, prosecutors allege Sneiderman was having an affair with the gunman and conspired to kill her husband.

An Aug. 21 bond hearing has been set.
