A judge has denied a motion to dismiss manslaughter and other charges against a Massachusetts dentist charged with killing his wife.
The body of 65-year-old Kathleen Desilets was found on Dec. 6, 2011, beneath a broken third-floor window at the couple's Princeton home.
Prosecutors allege that Roger Desilets Jr. shoved his wife into the window during a violent struggle and she fell to her death.
Defense attorneys say Kathleen Desilets jumped from the window.
The Telegram & Gazette (http://bit.ly/1YnXksC ) reports that Judge Janet Kenton-Walker on Wednesday denied motions filed by the lawyers of 71-year-old Roger Desilets Jr. to dismiss charges.
Kenton-Walker rejected defense lawyers' arguments that evidence presented to the grand jury that indicted Desilets was insufficient to support the charges.
