JUROR PAY IN NEW MEXICO ISN’T MUCH TO BEGIN WITH…BUT IT COULD BE CUT EVEN FURTHER. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS REPORTS THE FUND TO PAY JURORS AND COURT INTERPRETERS IS RUNNING OUT OF MONEY…WITH THE SHORTFALL APPROACHING A MILLION DOLLARS.
LEGISLATIVE ANALYSTS SAY IT WOULD HELP IF THE COURTS CUT JUROR PAY TO 4-25 AN HOUR. THAT’S TWO DOLLARS LESS THAN WHAT JURORS MAKE NOW.
