View this case - free  

Overview: In a DWI case, the denial of defendant's untimely motion to appeal was reversed and remanded as defense counsel's failure to timely appeal under N.M. R.

State v. McClaugherty, Docket No. 24,409, COURT OF APPEALS OF NEW MEXICO, February 15, 2007, Filed
View this case - free  

Overview: N.M. Stat. Ann. § 39-1-1 did not deny a district court the ability to dismiss the State's appeal and reopen the evidence in connection with defendant's motion to bar retrial for prosecutorial misconduct. The district court did not err in concluding that the prosecutor's improper use of hearsay did not bar a retrial on double jeopardy grounds.

State v. Edwards, Docket No. 25,675, COURT OF APPEALS OF NEW MEXICO, February 16, 2007, Filed
View this case - free  

Overview: In a sex crimes case, defense counsel's performance was deficient because he failed to advise defendant that a plea of no contest would almost certainly result in defendant having to register as a sex offender under the New Mexico Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act, N.M. Stat. Ann. §§ 29-11A-1 to -10.

View this case - free  

Overview: Where an injured passenger settled his claim against a driver, his claims against the insurer under N.M. Stat.

View this case - free  

Overview: Defendant's convictions relating to trafficking cocaine were improper because the procedure and communication in which the district court spoke with the jury foreperson without the rest of the jury present constituted fundamental error. The district court did not, as required under N.M. R. Ann. 5-610(D), communicate in open court with the jury.

State v. Gallegos, Docket No. 29,538, SUPREME COURT OF NEW MEXICO, February 23, 2007, Filed
View this case - free  

Overview: Trial court abused discretion in failing to sever charges under N.M. R. Ann. 5-203(C) because evidence pertaining to each charge would not have been cross-admissible at separate trials. Defendant was prejudiced by the admission of evidence pertaining to indecent exposure victim for purposes of criminal sexual contact conviction.

State v. Otto, Docket No. 29,158, SUPREME COURT OF NEW MEXICO, February 23, 2007, Filed
View this case - free  

Overview: Trial court did not abuse its discretion by admitting evidence of uncharged acts of defendant against victim under N.M. R.

State v. Campbell, Docket No. 24,899, COURT OF APPEALS OF NEW MEXICO, February 26, 2007, Filed
View this case - free  

Overview: Defendant's conviction for criminal sexual contact of a minor was reversed. Trial court committed prejudicial error when it excluded expert testimony under N.M. R. Ann. 11-702 about why children might inaccurately report experiences, as testimony could help the jury and was essential to the defense that the child's mother induced the child to lie.

State v. Contreras, Docket No. 25,526, COURT OF APPEALS OF NEW MEXICO, February 26, 2007, Filed
View this case - free  

Overview: Defendant's cocaine convictions were upheld because there was no Fifth Amendment double jeopardy violation, a prison photo was properly admitted under N.M. R. Ann. 11-403 and 11-404(B), and counsel was not ineffective; however, there was insufficient evidence to support the habitual offender enhancement under N.M. Stat. Ann. § 31-18-17.
