"Soccer player gets 8 years in prison for fatally punching referee" Associated Press March 14, 2015
DETROIT — A weekend soccer player was sentenced Friday to at least eight years in prison for a punch that killed a Detroit-area referee.
The case against Bassel Saad, 37, has put a spotlight on out-of-control recreational athletes and inspired Michigan lawmakers to consider new crimes for assaults on sports referees.
The death of John Bieniewicz was “senseless, meaningless,” his wife, Kris Bieniewicz, told the judge. “All because of a call on a soccer field. It’s a game. It’s a game that we teach our kids as soon as they can walk.”
Saad pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter, admitting he punched Bieniewicz during a game last summer at a Livonia park. Bieniewicz, 44, was preparing to call a penalty that would have ejected the Dearborn auto mechanic.
