Nancy Kerrigan’s Brother Appears In Court

The brother of figure skater Nancy Kerrigan, charged with assaulting his father shortly before he died, has made a brief pretrial court appearance in Massachusetts.

Kerrigan and his attorney, Janice Bassil, both declined to comment after a scheduling conference in Woburn District Court on Tuesday morning. The next hearing is set for April 9.

The 45-year-old Kerrigan is free on $10,000 bail with electronic monitoring. Prosecutors have said they are considering whether to upgrade the charge against him.

Seventy-year-old Daniel Kerrigan died in January after a fight with his son. His family says a heart condition, and not the fight, were to blame.
