An Alabama woman was indicted last month for allegedly trying to kill her husband by lacing his food with fentanyl.

A 39-year-old woman, identified as a witness in Baker’s criminal case, was one of her clients. The woman was charged in August with destroying evidence for swallowing fentanyl in a case Baker was representing her in.
