Florida woman who killed her two teens seeking a new trial, insanity defense originally rejected

A Florida woman is seeking a new trial after she received two life sentences for the slaying of her two teenage children while her husband was deployed.
Schenecker is seeking a new trial in an appeal she filed herself, the Tampa Bay Times reported. She contends that the public defenders who represented her were ineffective. She argues that they should have sought to move the trial away from Tampa because of extensive local news coverage and that they didn't call certain witnesses who could have bolstered her insanity claim.
State prosecutors said a hearing is necessary to address some of the 20 claims she made.
Judge Michelle Sisco ordered that Schenecker return to court for the March 10 hearing with a new attorney appointed to represent her. She has been brought to the Hillsborough County Jail from Lowell Correctional Institution Annex, a women’s prison near Ocala.
