New Mexico DA’s ‘restorative justice’ plan for riot defendants derided as ‘crock of crap’
Fox News
A district attorney in New Mexico is defending her decision to let nearly all defendants in a Santa Fe rioting case avoid jail time, according to a report.
Carmack-Altwies wants seven of the eight defendants to enter a pre-prosecution probation program, calling their case – that they allegedly destroyed a 152-year-old obelisk last October – "a political problem that got forced upon the criminal justice system," the newspaper reported. "Where’s the accountability? They’re not being held accountable." But her critics include former Santa Fe City Council member Ron Trujillo, who called the DA’s plan "a crock of crap," according to the newspaper.More Related News
