BOSTON (AP) - The brother of figure skater Nancy Kerrigan, charged with assaulting his father in their home shortly before he died, has made a brief pretrial appearance.
Kerrigan and his attorney declined to comment after a scheduling conference in Woburn District Court on Tuesday morning. The next hearing was 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.
