DES MOINES - A woman doing time for murder may be going to trial again Monday, this time as a witness.

Tracey Dyess, 17, is in prison for setting a Griswold home on fire, killing her younger sister and nephew.

Dyess says she set the fire to escape from years of sexual abuse by her step-dad.

Now defense lawyers say shocking evidence will be presented at the trial of Dyess' step-father, Brian Street, 38.

Street is accused of taking pornographic pictures of Dyess and her younger sister.

Dyess may be called as a government witness against Street.
