TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) - An Ohio woman who pleaded guilty in the killing of her toddler more than three years ago but now says she’s innocent will get a hearing to make her case.
A judge in Toledo has set a March 1 hearing for Angela Steinfurth.
Steinfurth is serving 18 years to life after entering a type of guilty plea to murder under which she maintains her innocence but acknowledges prosecutors had evidence to convict her.

But she now says she was denied access to evidence proving her innocence.
