Mark Kerrigan Pleads Not Guilty

((HT: MyFoxBoston))

The brother for figure skater Nancy Kerrigan pleaded not guilty to manslaughter and assault in Massachusetts in the death of their father.

Mark Kerrigan entered the pleas Friday in Middlesex ((MA)) Superior Court in the Boston suburb of Woburn.

Prosecutors say 70-year-old Daniel Kerrigan died January 24th at the hands of his son in the family home outside of Boston. The family insists Mark Kerrigan is not responsible for his father's death. They are suggesting a pre-existing heart condition set off the events of the 24th.

Kerrigan was indicted this week on the manslaughter charge and had earlier been charged with assault and battery. He has been living in the family home since being released on bail.

The HQ is still somewhat creeped out by that idea...

The max for manslaughter in the state of Massachusetts is 20 years in prison.
