DEFENSE LAWYERS AND PROSECUTORS IN THE TRIAL AGAINST FORMER ALBUQUERQUE POLICE OFFICER KEITH SANDY AND DOMINIQUE PEREZ HAVE FILED MOTIONS TO DETERMINE WHO CAN TESTIFY AND WHAT EVIDENCE CAN BE PRESENTED IN COURT. THEY’RE CHARGED WITH KILLING HOMELESS CAMPER JAMES BOYD. IT’S ALL BEING HASHED OUT IN HEARINGS THAT STARTED THURSDAY IN ALBUQUERQUE BEFORE BERNALILLO COUNTY DISTRICT COURT JUDGE ALISA HADFIELD.
THE PROSECUTION HAS FILED MORE THAN A DOZEN MOTIONS. ONE THING THEY WANT IS THAT THE JUDGE BLOCK ANY TESTIMONY FROM OTHER APD OFFICERS. THEY SAY THOSE OFFICERS WILL ONLY LIE UNDER OATH TO PROTECT SANDY AND PEREZ.
JUDGE HADFIELD CONTINUES HEARING THE REMAINDER OF THE MOTIONS TON FRIDAY. THE TRIAL FOR THE FORMER OFFICERS STARTS IN A LITTLE MORE THAN A MONTH.
