His defense argues the case is outdated, citing a prior 1988 halt, and now challenges the validity of new DNA evidence due to potential mishandling over 40 years. They’re awaiting a forensic expert’s report before trial, while the judge demands transparency on evidence sharing. MacNally remains free on bail as this complex, time-worn case unfolds.
