Trial Opens Old Wounds For Kristina Markowski Family
In Ithaca Kristina Markowski 14 was struck and killed in June 1988 by a train driven by Richard Barber 29 of Wheca while she walked with friends on Route 79. Barber was convicted of driving while intoxicated but acquitted of second degree manslaughter in a two week trial last summer. The Markowski family faced a tense courtroom scene as Assistant D A Frank Smithson backed by scheduling led to changes in prosecution. The case revolved around whether Barber’s intoxicated driving caused the death and whether his blood alcohol level met legal thresholds, with defense arguing limited speeding and scene factors.
