Wife of Rangers legend Brian Leetch scores no-jail plea in bar brawl

The wife and sister-in-law of retired Rangers legend Brian Leetch scored no-jail plea deals Friday for a wild Manhattan bar brawl that injured three.

Mary Beth Leetch, 49, and her sister, Tracy Murphy, 44 — both wearing somber black ensembles — copped to disorderly conduct, which is categorized as a violation and not a crime.

Leetch and Murphy, who have three and six children, respectively, agreed to attend five sessions of solo counseling and must return to Manhattan Criminal Court on April 2 to show proof of completion.

Both women insisted that they were the true victims of the May 12 hair-pulling, nail-scratching fracas with staffers at Brandy’s Piano Bar on East 84th Street.

Leetch’s lawyer, Joe Mure, said the women were pleased to put the misdemeanor assault case behind them but believe the other people involved should also have been arrested.

“They still feel that when they walked into Brandy’s, they were targeted, they were profiled, and they were bullied by the employees,” he said. “Both sides were involved, and they never arrested the other side.”

Murphy’s lawyer, Arthur Aidala, said his client took the offer because she didn’t want to endure a trial.

“She wants to focus on her six children and beautiful family, as opposed to going to trial and proving that she and her sister were the true victims in this matter,” he said.

The fight erupted when the sisters and another pal were asked to leave for singing too loudly, according to court papers.

Leetch allegedly charged at a female staffer who was trying to record her and yanked her hair while Murphy twisted her arm and scratched her.

The feisty duo set upon the bartender next, ripping his shirt, hitting him on the head and leaving him with a gash on his forehead, the criminal complaint alleges.

The third victim allegedly was hit in the face when he tried to intervene and was left bleeding.

The sisters also are being sued over the incident in Manhattan civil court.

Leetch’s hubby, Brian, 50, retired in 2007 after 18 seasons in the National Hockey League, 16 of them with the Rangers. He was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2009.

Murphy is married to Rosecliff Capital hedge-funder Michael Murphy.
