LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Lawyers for a Bullitt County woman accused of shooting and killing her two young sons said they plan to use an insanity defense.
Tiffanie Lucas is scheduled to go to trial Dec. 17, but the court indicated that there is the possibility of a plea deal being reached in the case.
In November 2023, Lucas was arrested and charged with murder. Police said a neighbor found her sons, Maurice Baker Jr., 6, and Jayden Howard, 9, shot inside the family's home on Bentwood Drive in Bullitt County. Both boys died from their injuries.
Lucas has already entered a not guilty plea and has remained in the Bullitt County Jail on a $2 million dollar bond.
A court filing Monday said Lucas' attorney planned an insanity defense or evidence relating to a mental disease or condition, but the paperwork also said there was not a request to evaluate her competency to stand trial.
