DeKalb County State's Attorney Richard Schmack looks back into the courtroom on Friday, April 1, 2016, in Sycamore, Ill., during a hearing in the murder case of Jack McCullough. McCullough was convicted in 2012 for the 1957 killing of 7-year-old Maria Ridulph, of Sycamore. McCullough's attorneys Gabriel Fuentes and Shaun Van Horn filed a motion Thursday requesting DeKalb County Judge William Brady, left, to vacate their client's murder conviction or release him on bond. Brady denied both motions. McCullough's lawyers filed the motion, citing a report from Schmack that concluded old files and some new evidence demonstrated McCullough couldn't possibly have killed Ridulph.
