The two people charged in the death of a Holt man last month are scheduled to be in court Thursday.
Bdour Al-Yasari and Jacob Joseph Ficher are both facing open murder charges in the murder of Bdour Al-Yasari's husband, Ammar Al-Yasari.
Ammar Al-Yasari was found dead in his home on Glenberry Drive in Holt on Feb. 4.
Police arrested Ficher on Feb. 9 on open murder charges.
Bdour Al-Yasari was charged with open murder and conspiracy in the death of her husband on Feb 14.
Al-Yasari and Ficher are scheduled to be in Ingham County 55th District Court before Judge Thomas Boyd at 9:30 a.m. Thursday.
FOX 47 spoke with Shane Hilyard a lawyer from the Gallagher Law Firm about Bdour Al-Yasari's unconditionally waiver of her right to a prelim exam. He explained that this waiver can be seen in two ways. First, it can be seen as a way to provide more time for the defense to prepare their case for Circuit Court. Second, the waiver can be requested because the defense feels that the case would be remanded to Circuit Court anyway.
