Former trooper Christopher Baldner convicted of manslaughter in 2020 crash that killed 11-year-old Monica Goods during high-speed chase.
A jury has convicted former New York state trooper Christopher Baldner of manslaughter in the 2020 high-speed chase that killed 11-year-old Monica Goods, following a mistrial in the first trial.
Prosecutors said Baldner rammed a fleeing SUV twice, causing it to flip and kill the child passenger.
Defense attorneys argued the crash resulted from the suspect’s erratic driving and that Baldner followed proper procedures.
The verdict, reached after a second trial, brings closure to a case that sparked national debate over police pursuit policies and accountability.
Baldner, who retired in 2022, faces up to 15 years in prison when sentenced in June.
