Trial has been postponed for the Phoenix woman who left her kids in a hot car while she went to a job interview. Shanesha Taylor will now stand trial on child abuse charges in late February. Her trial was initially set for next week.

She was arrested in March after her young sons were found in her car in Scottsdale. They had spent about 45 minutes in the car.

Taylor received more than $114,000 in donations after her tearful mug shot went viral. She was offered a plea deal, but was eventually charged with child abuse after she missed two deadlines to put donated money into a trust fund for her children.

Taylor was assigned a public defender after her lawyers quit her case.
