here s the assistant district attorney in this case just moments ago. when he said to miss bond that it was good news that she was getting clean because she would get bella back, miss bond broke down crying and said i ll never see my daughter again. he asked her what do you mean by that. he responded michael mccarthy killed her and i m accessory after the fact because i helped him get rid of her body. nbc s ron mott is outside the courthouse in dorchester. ron, bring us up to date. reporter: hey there, jose. good morning. details coming from this assistant district attorney are pretty chilling. think once the community finds out some more about what happened to this little girl the anger, which is already at a fever pitch, is going to go into probably unprecedented territory here. what we have learned from the assistant district attorney is that bella bond s mom, rachelle bond, apparently told a life-long friend that the baby was taken away by dcf.
