Men charged in fatal fight in court

PHILADELPHIA -- Two groups, who were thrown out of a stadium bar after arguing over a spilled beer, coincidentally parked in the same area and ended up tangling again -- with fatal consequences -- a prosecutor said Wednesday.

Assistant Philadelphia District Attorney Richard Sax called it a "horrendous" coincidence that the groups parked in the same section of the same lot outside Citizens Bank Park.

A judge, who held a preliminary hearing Wednesday in the case, will decide if the state has enough evidence to proceed with charges against three men in the July 25 melee that left 22-year-old David Sale Jr. of Lansdale dead.

Police say Charles Bowers, 35, Jim Grove, 45, and Francis Kirchner, 28, all of Philadelphia, repeatedly beat and kicked Sale. The vicious beating left Sale with a partly severed ear and severe head and internal injuries, a medical examiner told the crowded courtroom.

This is the part that troubles me, Clearly nervous, he revealed the pressure he felt testifying against friends from the bar, where he admitted he has been carried home on other occasions. He also testified he was threatened Tuesday. He said a car pulled up behind him in his neighborhood and someone said, "You rat, you're going to get it." This kinda shows that there is no remorse in what happened, just wanting to protect a bunch of drunks who killed a guy in a drunken stupor. It's disgusting.

I hope they all get convicted on Murder 2 charges. What that Fishtown trash did was absolutely disgraceful.

Per the report in the Courier Post and nbc10.com they were holding his arms back and taking turns kicking his face to the point where it was unidentifiable.

Also, the friends of that scum were holding the others in the bachelor party back from helping out as well. I hope they get charged too, although the evidence probably isn't there to support it.
