TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) – Julie Schenecker, a former Florida Army officer’s wife convicted of killing her two children, Calyx and Beau, at their Tampa home in 2011 is back in a Tampa Bay area jail cell tonight.
Schenecker is asking for a new trial with claims that her attorneys were “ineffective”.
The defense argued she suffered from years of mental illness and was legally insane during the time of the killings. Prosecutors say she was sane when she killed her children.
She is currently in the Hillsborough County jail, with a hearing scheduled for March 10.
