Nanny accused of violent behavior in the past

The 34-year-old nanny who is expected to be charged with murder in the death of a baby in her care has had legal troubles before. Aisling McCarthy Brady has faced assault and battery charges and been the subject of two restraining orders, according to court documents.

Brady allegedly assaulted Rehma Sabir, a 1-year-old from Cambridge who died last week. She was arraigned today on charges of assaulting the baby and ordered held on $500,000 cash bail. A prosecutor said she is expected to face a charge of murder once an autopsy is completed.

Comments

She may be as guilty as sin. This is not the point. Everyone in the great, judicial  tradition of this country deserves a fair trial, even Satan. Newspapers, and the Globe is not the only one, have to stop this practice of trial by media. All this material about her in today's Globe only tends to pollute the jury, yet to be appointed.  

Replies

Fair enough to say. Although this case is appalling, the Media has always tried, and even convicted people for decades.

Uh oh

Bar brawls and biting? Isn't that for the Prosecution to bring out and not the Globe?
