➡️For nearly a year, I’ve uncovered the dysfunction she’s accused of creating inside her office — leading to cases never being filed, charges against murderers dropped, and more than 50 staff members leaving.
*more to come*
#BREAKING: McKinley County District Attorney Bernadine Martin *RESIGNED*
This comes just days before the trial to remove her from office was set to begin in front of the state Supreme Court.
@krqe.com
COULD THE MCKINLEY CO. DA RESIGN AHEAD OF THE TRIAL TO REMOVE HER?
She turned in her badge & keys, and sent a letter to asst prosecutors saying she'd no longer sign off on plea deals or other case documents... 👀

Could the McKinley County District attorney be stepping down? There are signs... from an email I obtained -to- what she did at the office today.
WATCH @krqe.com e TONIGHT at 5:30p for what I've learned --
She never gave up on her daughter's fight for justice, even after her own DA told her it was a "waste of office resources." As @annpierret.bsky.social reports, this mom will now testify before the NM Supreme Court in a historic trial to oust that DA.
