IRISH NANNY AISLING Brady McCarthy, who is accused of murdering a one-year-old child in her care, had her bail request denied today by a Massachusetts judge.
The 35-year-old, who is originally from Cavan, has been charged with Rehma Sabir’s murder after the child died from blunt force head injuries. Today, her legal team was seeking to have her bail reduced.
Brady’s lawyer, Melinda Thompson, said doctors for the prosecution have discovered that the baby had broken bones at least three weeks before she died, while in her mother’s care, NECN reported. Thompson, has previously said prosecutors “knowingly presented false and deceptive evidence to the grand jury in order to obtain an indictment”.

Though the judge denied the request today, she said she will take it under consideration again because of communication problems between the defence and prosecution.
The prosecution has also been ordered to turn over all critical medical records to Brady’s team. Another hearing is scheduled for 28 February.
