Just when Dr. William Petit thought that he could put all the courtroom dramas surrounding his family's massacre behind him and move on with his life, the lawyers for convicted killer Joshua Komisarjevsky have requested a new trial.

Komisarjevsky’s attorney filed a motion at the Superior Court in New Haven, Connecticut on Wednesday stating that he should be allowed a new trial because he was not granted a probable cause hearing, despite repeated requests for the constitutionally mandated hearing, reported the Hartford Courant.

As RadarOnline.com previously reported, 31-year-old Komisarjevsky was found guilty of 17 counts on October 13 for the grisly murders of Jennifer Hawke-Petit and her daughters, Hayley, 17, and Michaela, 11, and the vicious beating of Dr. William Petit in their Cheshire, Connecticut home, on July 23, 2007, and the same New Haven jury later sentenced him to death by lethal injection.
