Jury acquits man of neglect of his adopted daughter

LAFAYETTE, Ind. • A jury acquitted a man of neglect charges Thursday after he was accused with his ex-wife of abandoning an adopted daughter.

The Tippecanoe Superior Court panel deliberated about two hours before finding Michael Barnett not guilty of three neglect charges and conspiracy to commit neglect of a dependent.

The daughter, Ukrainian immigrant Natalia Barnett, said her adoptive parents, before moving to Canada, abandoned her in a second-story apartment in which she was unable to navigate the stairs and was without a walker, wheelchair or any knowledge of the city.
