Oakland fan seeks compensation in Francisco fracas
A woman whose nose was broken when Texas reliever Frank Francisco threw a chair into the stands says she will seek compensation after prosecutors and baseball officials finish their investigations. Francisco appeared in court on felony aggravated assault charges, while a civil suit may follow per his attorney. The prosecutor said more time is needed to decide whether to file charges as the case remains under investigation. Jennifer Bueno, 41, attended the news conference with her husband Craig, showing a large white bandage and bruising.
