A grand jury will hear the case of a woman accused of planning to kill her husband by injecting a horse painkiller into his IV.

Marti Beech waived her preliminary hearing Tuesday, automatically sending the case to the grand jury.

Prosecutors say the Chatom woman planned to carry out the plot while her husband, Bo Beech, was hospitalized at Mobile Infirmary last September. A teenager, who prosecutors say Marti enlisted to get a drug called bute, alerted police.

Marti and her family refused to talk to News Five after Tuesday's hearing, saying they were instructed by her attorney to not talk to "news people."

During an interview last month, Marti acknowledged she at times wished her husband was dead. "How many people has ever stood there and said they wish somebody was dead because of the mental cruelty and everything else you've been through," she said.

Bo Beech's family denied claims that Marti was abused by her husband.

"He didn't deserve what she's doing," said Judy Beech, Bo's mother, outside the courtroom. "He was not abusive to her or the children," she said.

A grand jury will hear the case next year. Meanwhile, Marti remains free on bond.

It is so sad that anyone would have to be burdened down with that kind of fear.  But after talking with other women that have been in abusive relationships I understand that they even have to lie to the doctors for fear of their life being taken or even their children’s lives being threatened.  For any of us that have never had to live in this kind of fear we really have no idea and should thank GOD everyday.  I understand that it is not the authorities fault when nothing is being signed to give them the authorization to help these victims. I hate that there was no encouragement or help for Marti because of the fear of something happening to her and her children if she tried to do anything to protect herself.  Just continue praying for her and the family.

Maybe you should read old records where she filed reports with the Sheriff’s Department and wouldn’t go through with the warrant because he told her he would kill her if she did…. oh and i am sure that the sheriff’s office took pitcures….

It is so sad to look at the picture that was taken when Marti was arrested and to see her now.  She does not even look like the same person.  I hope everyone will remember her and her children in your prayers as this case continues.
