Attorneys for convicted killer James Biela will soon be back in Washoe District Court to ask for a new trial. Lawyers plan to say Biela had ineffective counsel for his first trial in 2010, in which Biela was found guilty of all five counts in the murder of Brianna Denison and sexual assault of two other young women. There will be a status hearing June 16, followed by a July 11 hearing in which lawyers plan to say Biela had ineffective counsel for his first trial in 2010. Biela is expected to be at both hearings, and the July hearing will feature testimony from about 10 witnesses. Biela was found guilty of killing Brianna Denison, a California college student in Reno for winter break who was kidnapped from a home near UNR in January 2008. Her body was found in a south Reno field the next month. Biela was sentenced to death and is in state prison in Ely.
