A Tampa woman tried to manipulate her dead daughter's face into a smile after she allegedly shot her and her teenage brother in a meticulously planned double murder, a doctor told jurors today.
During the seventh day of Julie Schenecker's trial in Hillsborough County Court, two doctors said the 53-year-old former military wife had a plan to kill her children, and cited her journal writings that detailed the plan as evidence.
She is charged with two counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of Calyx, her 16-year-old daughter and Beau, her 13-year-old son. The teens were shot to death while her now ex-Army officer husband was on a 10-day deployment to the Middle East.
On Wednesday, Dr. Randy Otto, a mental health expert called by the prosecution, told the jury Schenecker told him that she tried to manipulate Calyx's mouth into a smile after she shot her children. She also covered both the teens' bodies with blankets and kissed them, Otto said.

"He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches."
"Being is substance and life; life manifests by movement; movement is perpetuated by equilibrium; equilibrium is therefore the law of immortality.
"The doctrine of equality!... But there exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.... "Equality for equals, inequality for unequals" that would be the true voice of justice: and, what follows from it, "Never make equal what is unequal."
