Two guys from Rhode Island were charged with killing a Patriots fan.
Because of the death of an observer at a New England Patriots game, two men from Rhode Island have been charged with assault, battery, along with disorderly behavior by the police in Foxborough.
Police say that John Vieira, 59, or Justin Mitchell, 39, both from Warwick, Rhode Island, hit Dale Mooney, 53, of Newmarket, New Hampshire. They were charged with assault, battery, as well as disorderly conduct earlier this month.
According to investigators, Mooney was hit during a fight during the game on September 17. The Miami Dolphins won 24–17. When he got to the hospital, they said he was dead.
In reports made this month, both Vieira and Mitchell were charged with “assault and beating Dale Mooney.” A lawyer to feed Mitchell did not answer the phone right away. The court papers did not show that Vieira had a lawyer.
According to the district attorney’s office, the office of the chief medical examiner gave early signs that did not point to a violent injury but did point to a medical problem.
At that point, the reason and manner of the death were unknown until more tests were done. The Norfolk District Attorney’s Office got the final reports, which said that the death was a murder.
Authorities say that the person who died probably had a heart problem while they were fighting because they had high blood pressure and fatty heart disease.
Despite looking at all the evidence, such as the autopsy reports and different video angles of the event, Norfolk District Attorney Michael Morrissey claimed in a statement Thursday that there was not enough evidence to bring homicide charges in Mooney’s death.
“We thank the members of the media who made their secret videos of the altercation available for scrutiny and the investigators at the Foxborough, Mass.
Police Department to their help in establishing an accurate account of these tragic events,” said Morrissey.
Dale Mooney, 53, a loyal New England Patriots fan, died after a fight at Gillette Stadium at Foxborough, Massachusetts, in September. Two men from Rhode Island have been charged with his death.
Following Mooney’s death on September 17, Norfolk District Attorney Michael Morrissey said in a statement Thursday that John Vieira, 59, and Justin Mitchell, 39, were charged with attack, battery, and disorderly conduct.
At the time, there were several videos going around the internet that seemed to show Mooney getting into a fight via Miami Dolphins fans. Mooney was taken by police to Sturdy General Hospital, but there he was declared dead.
Most recently, the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner (OCME) gave the Norfolk District Attorney’s Office its final decisions.
The person who died probably had a heart arrhythmia while they were fighting with someone else.
This happened to someone who had severe high blood pressure and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.
Despite looking at all the evidence, such as the autopsy reports and different video angles of the event, Norfolk prosecutors Michael Morrissey said to a statement Thursday that there was not enough evidence to bring homicide charges in Mooney’s death.
Investigators from the Foxborough law enforcement agency and members of the public who let us look at their private tapes of the fight were very helpful in getting a clear picture of what happened, Morrissey said.
Authorities in Norfolk County, Rhode Island, say that 39-year-old Justin Mitchell and 59-year-old John Vieira got into a fight in another man, who later died. They are now facing charges of attack, battery, and disorderly conduct.
Dale Mooney, 53, from Newmarket, New Hampshire, died after the incident on September 17 in the 300-tier area of Gillette Stadium during a Patriots-Dolphins game.
A fan died at a New England Patriots game to September, and two guys from Rhode Island have been charged with his murder.
The district attorney says that when Mooney passed out during the fight, emergency medical workers at the stadium weren’t able to bring him back to life.
From the start, Mooney’s death “did not suggest an accident-related injury,” but it did “identify a medical issue,” according to the office of the district attorney. The office of the district attorney said that the death was caused by murder.
The medical examiner recently said that the death was likely caused by “probable cardiac dysrhythmia at a person alongside severe hypertension and atherosclerosis who died during a physical altercation.” The district attorney said that the death was a murder.
