New Mexico Supreme Court

State v. Carrillo

June 30, 2017

Summary

The New Mexico Supreme Court affirmed Carlos Carrillo’s murder, tampering, and breaking‑and‑entering convictions. The Court held that the trial court’s admission of lay testimony on cell‑phone evidence was error but harmless, that the evidence was sufficient to support the convictions, that no prosecutorial misconduct occurred, and that cumulative error did not warrant reversal.
