Convicted killer Julie Schenecker returned to a Tampa courtroom begging a judge to grant her a new trial.   Schenecker argued that her former lawyers made many mistakes and that media coverage tainted the jury.  That argument didn't convince a judge however. 

On January 27, 2011, Julie Schenecker did the unthinkable: Armed with a .38 revolver she had purchased five days before, the former Russian linguist fatally shot her teenage children in the head. Beau Schenecker, 13, was found dead in a car parked in the garage of the Scheneker’s upscale Tampa home; 16-year-old Calyx had been placed in her bed after was killed. Julie Schenecker reportedly lifted her daughter’s mouth in the shape of a smile in a bizarre staging of the body.

Calyx had been doing her homework on the computer in another room when Julie Schenecker came up behind her and shot her in the head, then in the face. Julie had already killed Beau, reportedly shooting him in the head as they were in the car, headed to soccer practice. Julie’s husband Parker Schenecker, at the time an army colonel, was stationed in Qatar when his children were killed.

In an interview with police just after the double homicide, Julie Schenecker admitted to shooting the children. She later changed her story, and said that she "saved them" Beau from alleged sexual abuse, and Calyx from mental illness.
