"Lawyer for nanny held in baby death seeks reduced bail" by Peter Schworm | Globe Staff, March 22, 2013
MEDFORD — “There is an innocent person sitting in jail,” said Melinda Thompson, who is defending Aisling Brady against charges of assaulting Rehma Sabir in January....
The delay continued the slow pace in the high-profile case and prolonged an uncertain legal situation in which prosecutors say they plan to charge Brady with the child’s death but have not produced the evidence to do so. Brady was arraigned on charges of assault and battery on a child causing substantial bodily injury about a week after the baby died.
Hmmmmmmmmmmm.
Thompson said in the courtroom that prosecutors were well aware that autopsies of children often take months and criticized the government’s case as weak.
“The charges have not been upgraded now for 65 days,” Thompson said in a sharp exchange with the judge.
Judge Roanne Sragow said she did not think a four-week continuance was “unreasonable.”
Outside the courtroom, Thompson said Brady, 34, should not have been arrested or threatened with more serious charges before the autopsy was complete.
“I think it’s unusual for the Commonwealth to arrest someone without waiting for an autopsy,” she said.
Thompson, who has consistently maintained her client’s innocence, said Brady is terrified and devastated by the charges against her.

“She’s in jail for something she didn’t do,” Thompson said....
That's nothing new in AmeriKa. The people who should be in jail aren't, and the people who shouldn't be are. Not in all cases, but in far too many.
Brady has no criminal convictions, but in 2007 was charged with attacking her female roommate during a quarrel. The case was dismissed. She has had two restraining orders taken out against her.
She had been a nanny since coming to America in 2002.
The child’s parents, Sameer Sabir and Nada Siddiqui, have not spoken publicly about their daughter’s death. In a statement released by prosecutors in January, they asked for privacy....
Which is interesting. The Saudis have asked for privacy, and the government has granted it. They also granted flights out of the country to the bin Laden family after 9/11. Ever notice my media is often very silent about the Saudis?
