A new trial is coming for a Cullman County man charged in a decades-old murder of a girl in Massachusetts.

A jury spent a week deliberating in Marvin McClendon's murder trial, but it ended in a deadlock. They told the judge Wednesday they could not reach a verdict, and a mistrial was declared.

McClendon was arrested at his home in Bremen in 2022, and prosecutors at the time said DNA linked him to the 1988 stabbing murder of 11-year-old Melissa Tremblay.

McClendon denied killing the child. His lawyer said he maintains his innocence as this case heads to a retrial likely next year.
