Sarah Cherry, 12, of Bowdoin, died in July of 1988 and Dennis Dechaine was convicted of killing her.

Bernie Huebner wants Dennis Dechaine to get another trial. "At a deeply personal level, I’m staking everything on this. All we want is a trial where a jury can hear all the evidence. That’s why this documentary film is so important. It’s our last attempt," Huebner said. Shawn Patrick Ouellette/Staff Photographer
