A 20-year-old Connecticut man accused of causing a car crash that killed a Hartford police officer and seriously wounded that officer's partner pleaded guilty on Tuesday to several charges, including manslaughter.
Richard Barrington, an 18-year-old high school junior at the time of the 2023 crash, will next appear in court on June 20 for a sentencing hearing. Besides manslaughter, he has pleaded guilty to first-degree assault and interfering with a police officer, his lawyer Cameron Atkinson said.
