New York state trooper charged with murder in death of 11-year-old girl

A New York state trooper was indicted for murder in connection with the death of an 11-year-old Brooklyn girl on the New York State Thruway last December, prosecutors said Wednesday.

Christopher Baldner allegedly rammed into a vehicle that had fled a traffic stop, causing it to flip over, killing young Monica Goods, Attorney General Letitia James wrote in a Wednesday press release.

Baldner had pulled over the girl’s father, Tristan Goods, for speeding in Ulster County on the night of Dec. 22, 2020.

At some point during the traffic stop, Baldner deployed pepper spray in the car. Tristan, his wife Monica, and the girl’s 12-year-old sister were also in the car.

Tristan then sped away and Baldner pursued the scofflaw with a vengeance — twice ramming his patrol car into the back of the Goods’ vehicle at a high rate of speed, according to the state’s top prosecutor.

The second impact cause the car to flip over several times and ejected Monica, killing her, James alleged.

  1. THAT was one Rambo-type, crazy-ass, power trippin’ cop.

    PEPPER SPRAYED a family over a speeding ticket, then rammed them at high speed (not the first time he did that, either).

    Maybe he was mad because they didn’t have any cash he could rob them for….

  2. He should of remained stopped period. Obviously the driver was a real jerk and got what he deserved which was a face full of Pepper spray!
