BOSTON (CBS) – Michael McCarthy is five years into a life sentence. The 40-year-old was convicted of killing Bella Bond, his then girlfriend’s daughter, but McCarthy, who is preparing for an appeal hearing next week, tells the I-Team he didn’t kill her.
“Never. Never. I never harmed a hair on her head, you know she was a beautiful happy healthy little girl,” McCarthy said. “It wasn’t a murder. Because there was no evidence that it was a murder.”
