Was justice really served to ‘Irish Nanny’?
Aisling Brady McCarthy was unfairly and irreparably treated, writes Kevin Cullen.
Releasing former nanny Aisling Brady McCarthy from jail was the right thing to do, but she shouldn’t have been in there in the first place, writes The Boston Globe’s Kevin Cullen.
McCarthy was charged with the murder of a 1-year-old child two years ago, Cullen writes, but was tried in the court of public opinion long before her day in court. She spent the last two years in jail in Framingham, for an unjustified pretrial punishment, on charges her lawyers say were mainly based on evidence that would be inadmissable in court.
Cullen says while she’s now allowed to return home to Ireland, it doesn’t undo the damage inflicted to her and her reputation through the course of the trial.
