Mark Kerrigan, who was convicted of assault and battery in connection to his father's death in 2010, was ordered Friday to return to a Massachusetts jail for violating his probation, according to a WCVB report.
Stoneham native Mark Kerrigan, brother of Olympic figure skater Nancy Kerrigan, is returning to a Massachusetts jail, according to a WCVB report. A Middlesex County judge ordered Mark Kerrigan to return to jail Friday for six more months for violating his probation, according to the report.

Here are updates from the sentencing in the Mark Kerrigan trial Thursday at Middlesex County Superior Court in Woburn: @9:22 a.m.: Sentencing begins. @9:23 a.m.: Assistant District Attorney Elizabeth Keeley opens sentencing for prosecution. She claims Mark Kerrigan's arrest history began as a juvenile more than 30 years ago, adding that he spent four years in prison on a variety of charges, including violating a restraining order. "I would argue this defendant has been given numerous opportunities," Keeley said. "He is 46 years old… this is not a man in his twenties… [he does not know] how to control his temper and drinking. He is not a candidate for probation." The prosecution, which accused Mark Kerrigan of violating his pre-trial …

"He grabbed (Daniel Kerrigan) around the neck with such force that he fractured his larynx," Keeley said.
The trial of Mark Kerrigan comes down to whether jurors believe Daniel Kerrigan's fatal heart issues were set into motion by the altercation with his son on Jan. 24, 2010, or if they had already begun earlier.
