J. Nakasone finds the circuit court improperly set $3.3 million cash bail for defendant, who is charged with murder and other violent crimes. The court was right to deny defendant supervised release based on prior convictions and likely flight risk, but should not have set bail so high.

J. Brown finds that the trial court properly denied defendant's motion for bail on his indictments charging him with first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit first degree murder, with the state forgoing capital punishment. Although defendant's offense no longer qualifies as capital, since he was charged with murdering a witness in another case, he posed an imminent danger to others connected to this case. Affirmed.

J. Gabriel finds that the district court improperly classified defendant's first-degree murder charge as a capital offense and denied his request for bail. The charge was filed after the enactment of legislation abolishing the death penalty, and the term "capital offenses" refers to crimes punishable by death, so the application of the capital offense exception to the constitutional right to bail was error. Affirmed.

Court: New Mexico Supreme Court, Judge: Zamora, Filed On: May 22, 2023, Case #: S-1-SC-39744, Categories: murder, bail, Due Process
