Answer:

A woman accused of killing her husband

Step-by-step explanation:

State courts oversee the problems that have to do with civil problems, this means that a woman that is accused of killing her husband should be tried in a state court, as long as she doesn´t have charges in any other state, an army officer accused of treason should be tried in a martial court, sending bombs and counterfeiting are federal offenses, which would be tried in a federal court.
