TAMPA, Fla. — The Hillsborough County woman found guilty in the 2011 killings of her two teenage children wants a new trial.
A jury found Julie Schenecker guilty on two counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of her children, 16-year-old Calyx and 13-year-old Beau.
She was sentenced to life in prison without parole on both counts.
Schenecker, 61, is now back in the Hillsborough County Jail after being transferred from state prison where she has been serving those two life sentences.
Schenecker said the attorneys that represented her during her 2014 trial were ineffective.
She said they failed to call several witnesses who could have backed up her insanity defense.
A hearing has been scheduled for March 10 and a new attorney has been appointed to represent her at that hearing.
