LEE COUNTY, Fla - Cash Feenz defendant Ashley Toye will not be getting out of prison.
Toye wanted a new trial, claiming her attorney was ineffective.
But Lee Circuit Judge Thomas Reese ruled that John Mills did his job when defending Toye for her part in the torture and murders of Jeffery and Alexis Sosa of Cape Coral in 2006.
Toye was convicted of two counts each of first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison. Eight others were also arrested and charged in the case, with many taking plea deals and getting lighter prison sentences.
