'I upheld my client's rights': Collection of essays by public defenders includes two Santa Fe attorneys
Jennifer Burrill provides behind-the-scenes details about her work on a Santa Fe murder case in which she pointed out Santa Fe police had lost 11 pieces of key evidence.
In a profession where our clients have few means and less influence, we are truly the instruments of justice
Happy to see New Mexico public defenders, including me and Isaac here in Santa Fe, featured in this book by the American Bar Association

NM friends not on X - I'm still waiting on NM AG Torrez' exhibits attached to his Petition to remove DA Martin. It's mind blowing that they didn't have a redacted version of the petition plus exhibits available for public viewing.

New Mexico lawmakers weighing changes to understaffed police misconduct board
The Law Enforcement Certification Board is missing most of its staff and currently lacks a board chair and executive director.
The board tasked with investigating police misconduct in NM is only two years old and understaffed. They haven't done a single thing regarding the SF Sheriff's Office misconduct that resulted in the dismissal with prejudice of Alec Baldwin's case.

Will let you know. I'm excited for your live with TB! Can you ask if he's followed the Rust case? There are so many overlaps with the investigation and prosecutions. Would love to hear his take on Seth Kenney! A Runkle x TB rewatch of Baldwin's final trial day would be awesome.

Rust update: Rust crew members (the Addiego et al case) allegedly settled with Rust Movie Productions (exec producer Ryan Smith) and Baldwin/El Dorado last week. The docket indicates a joint motion to dismiss WITH PREJUDICE was filed on Wednesday. Will see what I can find out.

Public defender's suit alleges DA moving cases up courts to avoid Spanish translation
Defendants are losing rights in the shuffle, attorneys say, including a guaranteed right to a jury trial and the right to an automatic appeal.
If you're from NM please read this. FJDA Carmack-Altwies & crew are strategically moving misdemeanor DWI cases from Magistrate to District Court. Why? To avoid court certified transcriptions in cases with Spanish speaking defendants.

SpaceXβs Starship spacecraft explodes midflight for a second time, disrupting Florida air traffic | CNN
SpaceX pulled off the rocket booster catch maneuver during its eighth test flight but the Starship spacecraft exploded over the Caribbean, according to reports from residents.
I've had several flights to South FL delayed or cancelled thanks to SpaceX BS. The launches and landings regularly disrupt evening flight traffic and patterns along the east coast. It's very disruptive. FAA will order reroutes then SpaceX reschedules. So inefficient.
