BUCHANAN COUNTY - The Coralville mom accused of killing her child says she's not guilty.

Michelle Kehoe was scheduled to be arraigned in Buchanan County Tuesday morning. But court documents show she has filed a written plea of not guilty instead.

Kehoe is charged with first degree murder for allegedly killing her son Seth, 2, and attempted murder for allegedly injuring her Sean, 7.

Investigators believe Kehoe attacked her sons with a knife back in October in this dense wooded area of Littleton. She also faces a charge of child endangerment causing serious injury.
