SALEM, Mass. (AP) - A Massachusetts judge has denied a motion to dismiss charges against a woman accused of failing to fill prescriptions to treat her autistic son's cancer.
The Salem News reports that Salem Superior Court Judge John Lu released the decision Thursday.
Lu says the evidence against 37-year-old Kristen LaBrie is sufficient to establish probable cause that she committed crimes including attempted murder and assault and battery on a disabled person.
LaBrie's lawyer had argued that there is no evidence of her intent.
LaBrie's son, Jeremy Fraser, was diagnosed with lymphoma in 2006. With treatment, the cancer went into remission, but returned as leukemia in 2008. He died a year ago at age 9.
