BALLSTON SPA, N.Y. (NEWS10) – Brandon Fisher, who pleaded guilty to beating his parents with a baseball bat, was sentenced to ten years in prison on Friday.

Fisher was accused of savagely beating both his parents in Galway more than a year ago. They were transported to Albany Medical Center with serious head injuries and broken arms.

Fisher fled in his mother’s car and was found a day later near Buffalo.

“This was a difficult case, given the defendant and the victims are all members of the same family,” District Attorney Karen Heggen said.

In July, a few days before his trial was set to begin, Fisher pleaded guilty.
