Trial begins for Mundelein woman accused of attacking ex-husband with sledgehammer

January 30, 2013 (LINCOLNSHIRE, Ill.)

It happened at a home in suburban Lincolnshire back in 2003.

Sandra Rogers was charged and took a plea deal the following year. But last year a judge ordered a trial, saying Rogers was tricked into admitting her role in the crime.

Defense attorneys claim the boyfriend of Rogers daughter carried out the attacks.

Both victims survived.
