A woman accused of organising a hit on her police officer husband has pleaded not guilty to the charge.
The defendant, aged in her 40s and who has interim name suppression, appeared in North Shore District Court today.
The woman is accused of attempting to procure the commission of an offence, namely assault with intent to injure.
It is alleged the incident took place in January and according to court documents the complainant is a police officer.
At her last court hearing it was organised that police would consider her for diversion, but today the court heard that option was "not available" for her.
Diversion allows mainly one-off offenders to address the causes of their actions through completing several tasks, after which the police withdraw the charge. The scheme usually involves restorative justice, an apology letter, reparation to the victims and/or counselling.
Today her defence lawyer Ian Tucker said because diversion was not available, his client had decided to return to her original not guilty plea, and elected a trial by jury.
She was released on existing bail conditions, and interim name suppression was continued until her next court date.
