State of New Mexico, Plaintiff-Appellee v. Nieves Sonny Ortega, Defendant-Appellant

Summary

The New Mexico Supreme Court affirmed the defendant's first-degree murder conviction and the conspiracy to commit first-degree murder conviction, while vacating the conspiracy to commit robbery and conspiracy to commit kidnapping convictions on double jeopardy grounds, and held that other alleged errors were harmless or invited and did not merit reversal.
