Ex-Harvard student due in court in 2009 shooting

WOBURN (AP) - A former Harvard student accused of hiding the gun used in a fatal shooting inside a university dormitory is due in court.

Brittany Smith is one of four people who were charged in connection with the shooting of 21-year-old Justin Cosby of Cambridge.

Smith's former boyfriend, Jabrai Jordan Copney, of New York City, was convicted of murder in Cosby's death and is serving a life sentence.

During Copney's trial, prosecutors said Cosby, a local drug dealer, was shot during an attempted robbery by Copney and two other New York City men in May 2009.

Smith is accused of giving the men her Harvard electronic keycard to enter the building, hiding the gun used in the shooting and helping the men flee.

She is due in Woburn Superior Court for a hearing Monday.
