JUAN DE DIOS CORDOVA COULD GET A NEW TRIAL. HE’S THE SANTA FE MAN WHO WAS CONVICTED OF VEHICULAR HOMICIDE AND OTHER CHARGES IN 2012 IN THE DEATH OF AN ALGONDONES MOTORCYCLIST IN 2011.
CORDOVA GOT 29 YEARS … BUT NOW THAT THE STATE APPEALS COURT HAS RULED A SANTA FE JUDGE MADE A MISTAKE IN THAT TRIAL … CORDOVA IS UP FOR A NEW TRIAL. THE APPEALS COURT SAID THE JUDGE FAILED TO SUPPRESS EVIDENCE FROM THE SEARCH OF CORDOVA’S HOME THAT WAS CARRIED OUT WITHOUT A WARRANT. THE EVIDENCE TURNED UP IN THAT SEARCH LED TO CORDOVA BEING ARRESTED.
D-A ANGELA “SPENCE” PACHECO SAYS THEY’LL ASK THE STATE SUPREME COURT TO CONSIDER THE CASE.
