Welcome!
I could not be more excited to launch our new online presence, a first for District Attorneys in New Mexico.
As District Attorney, I was elected to serve the people of Bernalillo County in the pursuit of justice. I am fortunate to work with the best and brightest members of the criminal justice system and their dedication shows in the work we do.
I have wanted to launch this blog for some time and I hope to use it not only to highlight the great work our staff does on behalf of our community, but also as a place to share information about the role of the District Attorney, courts and law enforcement in our system.
To begin, you will see news stories on the right of this page that relate to cases our office is involved in prosecuting. Some cases are just beginning with the filing of indictments or criminal complaints (more on those in a later blog), while others are progressing through several of the major steps in the process, to include arraignment, motions hearings, plea bargaining, trial or sentencing. We even deal with a number of unique hearings, including probation violations and revocations, and competency hearings for defendants claiming incompetency.
This blog also gives me a chance to share some of the unreported successes in the criminal justice system, such as the successes realized by our meth-prosecution initiative and exciting partnerships between our office and law enforcement.
Even in such lean economic times, our job never stops and our zeal for justice continues.
Stay tuned for to learn more about our office!
