TULSA, Okla. —

Jury selection is under in the trial of a Tulsa woman accused of pushing her husband to his death from their apartment at the University Club tower.

Amber Hilberling is charged with second-degree murder in the 2011 death of Joshua Hilberling.

He died after falling from the 25th floor window to the roof of a parking garage 17 floors below.

Prosecutors say Amber Hilberling pushed her husband.

Hilberling says the apartment had dangerously thin windows and her husband's fall was an accident.

Last Friday, Amber Hilberling rejected a plea deal offered by prosecutors last week, opting to go on trial instead.

She faces 10 years to life in prison if convicted of second-degree murder.
