WOBURN, Mass. (AP) — Olympic figure skater Nancy Kerrigan is expected to be a witness at her brother’s upcoming manslaughter trial in the death of their 70-year-old father.

Kerrigan’s name appears on a joint witness list filed in court Monday by prosecutors and defense attorneys for Mark Kerrigan.

Prosecutors say Daniel Kerrigan died in January 2010 following a fight with his son at the family’s Stoneham, Mass., home.

The Kerrigan family insists Daniel Kerrigan died of a longstanding heart condition and that Mark Kerrigan is not responsible. Nancy Kerrigan has joined her family in publicly defending her brother.

Other witnesses for the May 13 trial include Kerrigan’s mother, Brenda, and eight experts, mainly medical doctors.

Police have testified that Mark Kerrigan told them he “grabbed his father by the throat” before the elder Kerrigan collapsed.
