WOMAN WHO STARVED INFANT TO DEATH WANTS SENTENCE REDUCED

(Richmond, IN)--A Richmond woman who starved her own infant son to death a decade ago now wants out of jail early.  Amy Hockett was found guilty of murder in 2013 and was sentenced to 60 years in prison.  But now, Hockett has filed a motion claiming the trial and sentencing were unfair.  Investigators found the house in complete disarray and Hockett had admitted to using heroin after the baby was born.  In the new document, she blames her attorney and the media.  She also blames Judge Gregory Horn, who she claims is biased against drug addicts.  A hearing has been set for May 1.
