缅因高等法院法官Bruce Malloneee拒绝了Dennis Denchele提出的重新审判1988年12岁Sarah Cherry谋杀案的请求。 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. 尽管在樱桃指甲下发现了新的DNA证据 与Dencaine的不匹配 但法官裁定 证据是"虚弱、模糊 且没有实际意义" 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." 最初定罪的依据是实质性旁证,包括犯罪现场附近的Dencage的卡车和凶器上的指纹。 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 坚称自己是无辜的，多年来已多次提出上诉，但尚未获得重审。 Dechaine, who maintains his innocence, has filed multiple appeals over the years but has yet to secure a retrial.
