Mass. nanny's lawyer asks for detail on baby death

WOBURN, Mass. (AP) - A lawyer for an Irish nanny charged in the death of a baby girl has asked a Massachusetts judge to order prosecutors to provide more information on how the child died.

Aisling Brady McCarthy of Quincy is charged with murder in the January death of Rehma Sabir. The Cambridge girl was hospitalized on her first birthday with severe head injuries and died two days later.

McCarthy's lawyer Melinda Thompson said Tuesday in Woburn Superior Court that prosecutors haven't provided specific information about the allegations against McCarthy.

Thompson said grand jury testimony refers to "potential shaking and head injury" but there's no discussion of when or how that happened.

A prosecutor said he has turned over all the information he has.

The judge didn't immediately rule.
