Judge denies new attorney request for woman accused in Wichita murder
A woman accused of decapitating her ex-boyfriend's mother won't get a new attorney.
In April, Micki Davis was killed in a home near Seneca and Pawnee. Police say she was attacked with a knife and decapitated.
Rachel Hilyard is charged with the crime.
Hilyard wrote a four-page letter to a judge, asking for a couple things: a new attorney and a psychological evaluation.
Hilyard writes she wants a new lawyer because of "extreme religious differences" between she and the victim.
"I am Catholic and the head of a Jehovah's Witness was found in my sink," Hilyard says.
She believes her current attorney is also a Jehovah's Witness and that's why she wants another lawyer.
Hilyard also writes about needing a psychological evaluation and claims her attorney isn't listening to her. After considering the requests, the judge overruled the motion. Hilyard will keep her current attorney.
