THE TAOS DISTRICT ATTORNEY SAYS HE’LL RESIGN BY THE END OF THE YEAR. DONALD GALLEGOS MADE THAT COMMENT ON FACEBOOK THIS WEEK. IT FOLLOWS HEAVY CRITICISM OF HOW GALLEGOS HANDLED THE TAOS COUNTY COMPOUND CASE.
AN EDITORIAL IN THE TAOS NEWS SAID GALLEGOS DIDN’T FILE THE PROPER PAPERWORK TO KEEP THE FIVE SUSPECTS IN JAIL. THEY WERE RELEASED AFTER BEING CHARGED AND POLICE FOUND AND RESCUE 11 CHILDREN AT THEIR COMPOUND WHO WERE STARVING, AND ANOTHER WHO WAS DEAD. THE SUSPECTS ARE BACK IN JAIL ON FEDERAL CHARGES.
GALLEGOS, MEANWHILE, SAYS HE MIGHT RUN FOR OFFICE AGAIN.
