View this case - free  

Overview: Where defendant was convicted of criminal sexual penetration under N.M. Stat. Ann. § 30-9-11, a new trial was warranted because evidence of the alleged victim's prior sexual conduct and the punishment she suffered because of it should not have been excluded under the rape shield statute, N.M. Stat. Ann. § 30-9-16, since it provided a motive to lie.

View this case - free

View this case - free  

Overview: Defendant's motion for continuance, N.M. R. Ann. 5-604, should have been analyzed by trial court using certain factors rather than relying on maintaining trial docket and defendant's speedy trial demand; after applying factors, motion should have been granted.

Garcia v. Underwriters at Lloyd's London, Docket No. 25,985, COURT OF APPEALS OF NEW MEXICO, January 26, 2007, Filed
View this case - free  

Overview: Underwriters' actual notice of a claim presumptively triggered a duty to defend, which could only be rebutted by a finding that the insured knowingly declined a defense, and summary judgment in favor of the underwriters was not appropriate because issues of fact existed as to whether the late insured's estate declined a defense.
