"Man Pleads Not Guilty in Connection to Gillette Stadium Fan's Death"
John Vieira, charged after the death of Patriots fan Dale Mooney at Gillette Stadium, pleaded not guilty to assault and battery and disorderly conduct, claiming innocence after his first court appearance. Mooney died during a brawl at a game between the Patriots and the Miami Dolphins, with the medical examiner ruling his death a homicide due to heart disease exacerbated by the fight. Court paperwork revealed Mooney's participation in the altercation, but Vieira was charged for a glancing blow to Mooney's head.
