ALBANY, Ore. – A jury found a Sweet Home man guilty of two counts of first-degree manslaughter following a trial in Albany.
Brian James McIntire, 30, was convicted in connection with a drunken driving crash that killed a Sweet Home mother and child on July 23, 2019.
First-degree manslaughter is punishable by 10 years in prison and is a Measure 11 crime, which means McIntire will not be eligible for early release from prison. He faces a prison term of 10 to 20 years, depending on whether the judge orders the sentence on the two counts served concurrently or consecutively.
Brian James McIntire, 30, is scheduled to be sentenced on Jan. 13 in Linn County Circuit Court.
A 12-member jury also found McIntire guilty of driving under the influence of intoxicants and fourth-degree assault, for injuring the driver of the other vehicle. The jury found McIntire not guilty of another charge of fourth-degree assault regarding a 3-year-old girl in the other car.
Emma Pulido, 5, and her mother Stormy Barge, 24, of Sweet Home were killed in the near head-on crash, which occurred at about 6:15 p.m. on July 23 on Brush Creek Road near Crawfordsville.
McIntire âmade a string of horrible, horrible decisions that resulted in a horrible tragedy,â said prosecutor Keith Stein, during closing arguments on Monday morning.
Opening statements were heard on Tuesday afternoon in the manslaughter trial of a Sweet Home man accused of killing a mother and her daughter in an alleged drunk driving crash last year near Crawfordsville.
Brian McIntire, 30, is charged with two counts of first-degree manslaughter, two counts of fourth-degree assault for injuries suffered by survivors of the wreck, and driving under the influence of intoxicants.
Stormy Barge, 24, of Sweet Home and her 5-year-old daughter, Emma Pulido, were killed in the July 23, 2019, crash. Bargeâs daughter Macy Pulido, then 3, and Bargeâs boyfriend, Ty Kirkland, were injured.
Defense attorney Tyler Reid told the 12-member jury that McIntireâs Jeep, headed north on Brush Creek Road, had swerved into the southbound lane that night. âHe corrected, and when he corrected, there was a vehicle in his lane,â Reid said.
