There is a big problem in Albuquerque because of the NM Supreme Court-adopted rule, which has the effect of giving law enforcement only 10 days after arrest to provide all the evidence to the DA. This rule plays havoc in more complex cases.<br /><br />81 criminal cases dismissed under new 10-day rule<br /><br /> WRITTEN BY KOAT POSTED: 03/06/2015, 10:36AM<br /><br />Some state leaders said it’s time to take action after Target 7 uncovered dozens of suspected criminals walking free because of new legal rules. So far, 81 criminal cases have been dismissed by Bernalillo County prosecutors and judges, because of a new 10-day rule imposed by the state’s Supreme Court.Skifoolnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-87098695437882951942015-12-20T13:51:06.346-06:002015-12-20T13:51:06.346-06:00Grits, after hearing you and others referring to t...Grits, after hearing you and others referring to the criminal justice system (process) as being - 'Broken', I attempted to explain that it's 'not' broken and more like - 'Rigged'. I look forward to the day that you and others with blog-juice utilize the correct description. It's kinda like referring to Team Efforts resulting in the criminal act of conspiracy to obtain convictions at all cost via: creating / co-creating and signing off on false police incident reports, planting falsified state's exhibits and failing to fully represent clients all the way to verdict as a - "wrongful conviction". By doing so, an entire generation will grow up thinking that the ADA is solely responsible, when a little research reveals that it takes an entire Team Effort to allow mass false arrests to morph into extended stays in the county jail. Basically, over-crowding by design that results in taking the plea. <br /><br />This GFB posting explains exactly why the judges in Harris County collectively thumbed their noses at the idea of reforming the bail process. (if only bribery & cronyism were illegal and of course enforced). Hopefully, this post's revelations results in voters being prompted to think twice about the causes & effects of voting without researching the candidate's past. Specifically, - any criminal activity tied to previous positions) and any scandalous activities associated with current positions held.<br /><br />Regarding electing judges. If we are going to continue to elect (allow / condone the act of voting just to be voting) them in purely based on the letter on their foreheads, then so be it. But, let it be known that the person running for judge could be a criminal him / her self. If he / she was a former police officer, or a prosecutor, and you are hell bent of voting based purely on gang affiliations alone, don't be surprised to learn that he / she is documented (in one or more police incident reports, court files, news reports) as to have knowingly & willingly framed (set up) innocent people resulting in the gross railroading of the innocent. Of course, you'd have to be a taxpayer in order to fully appreciate whether, or not you are funding the warehousing of both the: Guilty & Not Guilty alike all based on a convictions at all cost scheme. At some point, overburdened camel's backs simply break and pity the fools that find themselves under their bellies. Until then, it looks like we are hinging our bets on another friggin committee. <br />Thanks.Thomas R.

Post conviction writs stay pending at the Court of Criminal Appeals way too long even after the trial court has recommended relief. In my opinion strict timetables are needed more for post conviction writs than during pretrialAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
