Nanny's attorney complains of "missing pieces" in case

The lawyer for the Cavan nanny accused of the murder of a one-year-old girl in her care has complained of “missing pieces” of information from prosecutors to help fight the charges, writes The Irish Times.
At a pre-trial hearing in a Massachusetts court, Melinda Thompson, attorney for Lavey native Aisling Brady McCarthy, sought further information from prosecutors, says the paper, ranging from data on the hard drive of a laptop used by the family of the child Rehma Sabir to details of the specific allegations against her client.
The defence attorney complained that a grand jury, which indicted Ms Brady McCarthy for first-degree murder in April, had heard details of “potential shaking and a head injury” to baby Rehma Sabir but there was “no real description” of what allegedly had happened.
Miss Brady McCarthy, 35, has been living in the Boston area for about 13 years, and has pleaded not guilty to murder, assault and battery charges on the child who died on January 14.
The nanny, who has been in custody since her arrest on January 21, did not attend yesterday’s hearing on information disclosures ahead of the trial, which is scheduled to start on April 7.
