Top lawyer to defend Irish nanny accused of baby murder

A high-profile defence lawyer has been added to the legal team of Irish nanny Aisling Brady McCarthy whose Boston trial for murder is now just over two months away.

David Meier, a partner at Todd & Weld LLP, has been a trial attorney for over 25 years and has been praised by colleagues as someone who seeks justice for those “wrongfully convicted”.

Already representing Ms Brady McCarthy is Melinda Thompson, who has proven to be a passionate advocate for her 35-year-old client.
