Tampa, Florida -- For the first time in weeks, the media got a glimpse of Julie Schenecker as she appeared at a hearing Thursday morning.

Schenecker was in court because the state wants three doctors to evaluate Julie Schenecker's mental health. Her lawyers plan to use the insanity defense when she heads to trial this fall.
