Monroe County man faces trial for fatal softball brawl

Thu, Apr 2nd 2009 12:00 am
ROCHESTER (AP) - A Rochester-area man is scheduled for trial this week on a charge that he caused the death of another man by punching him after a softball game.

Sean Sanders' trial for criminally negligent homicide was set to begin Monday in Monroe County Court, but was delayed until Tuesday.

The 28-year-old Irondequoit resident is accused of punching Dan Andrews Jr. of Hilton in the back of the head after a recreational league game last summer. Andrews died the next day from brain damage.

Sanders has waived his right to a jury trial and will have his case heard by a judge.

Andrews, a father of three, was punched when the two teams brawled after a game June 29 at a softball field in Parma, a Monroe County town just northwest of Rochester.
