A superior court judge says he will not remove state prosecutors from the case of Sharon Carillo who, along with her husband Julio Carillo, is charged with depraved indifference murder in the death of her 10-year-old daughter.
Sharon Carillo's defense attorney, Chris MacLean, had asked for the prosecutors to be removed after a judge ruled they had failed to follow proper procedure in getting Carillo’s school and employment records from New York state.
MacLean says he's "disappointed" in the judge's decision and plans to ask him to reconsider, “and if he doesn't, we plan to appeal to give the Maine Law Court an opportunity to rule on this issue.”
WMTW reports that the judge's ruling said that disqualifying the prosecuting attorneys would be an extraordinary remedy, and that their noncompliance with procedure didn't rise to that level.
