Michelle Kehoe said she wanted jurors to know what she was going through in 2008 when she cut the throats of her two children, killing one, and then turned the knife on herself.

“I needed the jury to hear my experience. I needed the jury to hear it was out of my control on that day. … I know that this horrific, tragic act happened through my hands. But it would never have been the intention of my heart, it would have never been the intention of a healthy mind,” Kehoe said Thursday.

But Kehoe didn’t take the stand at her 2009 trial, she said, because she didn’t feel stable, the result of anxiety, depression and a change in her medication. Now 44 and serving a life sentence for murder, attempted murder and child endangerment, Kehoe is asking the court to grant her a new trial.
