3News confirmed Wednesday that Nueces County District Attorney Mark Skurka has filed a motion to reconsider the recent recusal of District Judge Jose Longoria from the capital murder retrial of Hannah Overton.
It was last week that a Rio Grande Valley judge was selected to replace Longoria and preside over the case. A former appellate court judge ordered the change without a hearing, and based his decision on the fact that Longoria personally responded to the efforts to get him to step aside.
Overton is accused in the poisoning death of her four-year old foster child.
