Irish nanny pleads not guilty to baby’s murder

Irish nanny Aisling Brady McCarthy yesterday pleaded not guilty to the charge of first degree murder of one-year-old Rehma Sabir.

Her lawyer Melinda Thompson told a Boston judge the “wrong person” had been charged with the murder while her distressed client watched on.

Middlesex County Superior Court Judge Thomas Billings denied a request to release the 34-year-old on bail for fear of the defendant being a potential flight risk, and accepted the prosecution’s assertion that extradition back from Ireland would be impossible.
