View this case - free  

Overview: Defendant's convictions for, inter alia, felony murder and attempted armed robbery in violation of N.M. Stat.

Thus, there was no double jeopardy issue.

View this case - free

Ann. 11-404(A)(1) to exclude character evidence from five witnesses because defendant's character for truthfulness and honesty was pertinent to the charge of solicitation of aggravated burglary.
