Judge denies Dennis Dechaine new trial despite new DNA evidence in 1988 murder case.
Maine Superior Court Judge Bruce Mallonee has denied Dennis Dechaine's request for a new trial in the 1988 murder of 12-year-old Sarah Cherry.
Despite new DNA evidence found under Cherry's fingernails that did not match Dechaine's, the judge ruled that the evidence was "weak, vague, and without practical meaning."
The original conviction was based on substantial circumstantial evidence, including Dechaine's truck near the crime scene and his fingerprints on the murder weapon.
Dechaine, who maintains his innocence, has filed multiple appeals over the years but has yet to secure a retrial.
