Death penalty hearing for Dr. Anthony Garcia in complete chaos and delayed until March because trial Judge decided to replace his lawyers during the sentencing phase

Dr. Anthony Garcia's death penalty sentencing hearing has been delayed again
On Thursday, a three-judge panel set to hold the death sentencing hearing for convicted quadruple-murderer, Dr. Anthony Garcia, at the end of this month has pushed back the two-day hearing to March 12 at the request of Dr. Garcia's new defense attorneys, who said they need more time to prepare.

Garcia's previous counsel, Robert Motta Sr. and Jr., were forced to withdrew from the case on August 31 due to a lack of funds, when the very judge presiding over the murder trial, Douglas County District Court Judge Gary Randall, threw the murder case in complete chaos by appointing the Nebraska Public Advocacy Commission, the state's public defenders, out of the blue to represent the defendant late in the death penalty phase of the trial, when the defendant was already represented by counsel of his own choosing.
