ATTORNEY GENERAL HECTOR BALDERAS DOES NOT HAVE TO TESTIFY FOR THE DEFENSE WHEN FORMER STATE SENATOR PHIL GRIEGO GOES ON TRIAL FOR CORRUPTION. THAT WAS THE RULING LAST FRIDAY FROM A STATE DISTRICT JUDGE WHO SAID CALLING BALDERAS, WHOSE OFFICE IS PROSECUTING THE CASE, AS A WITNESS WOULD CREATE A SIDESHOW.
THE ALBUQUERQUE JOURNAL REPORTS GRIEGO CLAIMS BALDERAS, BEFORE HE WAS ATTORNEY GENERAL, TOLD GRIEGO HE’D DONE NOTHING WRONG. GRIEGO IS ACCUSED OF MAKING THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS ON THE SALE OF A STATE BUILDING WHEN HE WAS IN THE SENATE.
