WE’LL KNOW SOON IF FORMER APD OFFICERS KEITH SANDY AND DOMINIQUE PEREZ WILL BE RETRIED. THE JUDGE DECLARED A MISTRIAL IN THEIR 2ND DEGREE MURDER TRIAL IN THE DEATH OF HOMELESS CAMPER JAMES BOYD BECAUSE THE JURY ON TUESDAY COULDN’T REACH A UNANIMOUS VERDICT.
IT WAS REPORTED THAT INCOMING BERNALILLO COUNTY D-A RAUL TORREZ WOULD DECIDE IF THE CASE WOULD BE RETRIED. BUT COURT RULES REQUIRE A DECISION BE SUBMITTED TO THE COURT 30 DAYS AFTER THE DECLARATION OF A MISTRIAL. SAM BREGMAN, THE LAWYER FOR DO-DEFENDANT SANDY, SAYS HE’S UNSURE WHO WILL ULTIMATELY DECIDE ON THE RETRIAL.
NINE MEMBERS OF THE JURY IN THE BOYD MURDER TRIAL VOTED “NOT GUILTY” WHILE THREE VOTED “GUILTY.”
