LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Kristine Barnett's neglect of a dependent criminal case started with a flood of media attention in September 2019 and ended Friday with a mild-manner motion to dismiss. "(T)he State of Indiana of Indiana by Patrick K. Harrington, Prosecuting Attorney, … respectfully moves to dismiss all counts herein as the State believes there would be insufficient evidence at trial to prove the charges in this case beyond a reasonable doubt." Tippecanoe Superior 2 Judge Steve Meyer signed the order Friday morning dismissing the case.
