Stories Related to Saratoga County Man Gets 10 Years For Beating Parents With Bat

The 21-year-old Galway man who beat his parents with a baseball bat and then fled in the family car to Buffalo was sentenced Friday to 10 years in state prison. Saratoga County Judge James Murphy III said Brandon Fisher's crime was "violent, vicious and senseless" and that the attack was "bloody." Murphy also ordered five years probation following his prison term. Assistant District Attorney Charles Bucca, who asked for the maximum sentence of 10 years, plus another five years for a jailhouse assault on another inmate, painted Fisher as a nonchalant, arrogant young man who manipulated his mother and sister. At the three-day sentencing hearing, Bucca played more than 20 jail house calls from Fisher to his mother and sister in which he asked them to downplay the attack and to describe his father, Gregory, as abusive. Sumner, who saw Gregory and Audrey that evening right before the attack, said Gregory was livid at Brandon for hacking into his phone and revealing that his father was having multiple affairs.
