SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (AP) - Two sisters from Massachusetts charged with beating a woman unconscious outside a Springfield bar have been sentenced to a year of probation and ordered to undergo anger management counseling.
The Republican newspaper reports that 22-year-old Danielle Martin and 27-year-old Jessica Martin were sentenced last week after pleading to sufficient facts for a guilty finding to reduced charges of assault and battery.
If they comply with probation conditions, the charges will be dismissed.

Prosecutors say the sisters left a 25-year-old woman unconscious after a fight outside Rory Fitzgerald’s bar in 2016. Their lawyers said the Martins acted in self-defense.
The victim says the Martins were looking for her because she was close to elder sister’s ex-boyfriend.
The victim was diagnosed with a concussion.
