An Orange County judge on Tuesday appointed Miami lawyer Terry Lenamon to the case.
Loyd is also trying to disqualify Brad King as the prosecutor for his cases. Loyd filed a motion last month, but it was denied. He then filed a motion to reconsider last week.
Loyd is facing charges in the murders of his pregnant ex-girlfriend, Sade Dixon, in December 2016 and Orlando Police Lt. Debra Clayton a few weeks later during a confrontation at an Orange County Wal-Mart.
Judge Frederick Lauten is planning to start the first Loyd trial in January.
