NEW MEXICO HAS A NEWLY AMENDED BAIL SYSTEM FOR SUSPECTS … BUT GOVERNOR MARTINEZ IS CALLING FOR IT TO BE REPEALED. THE NEW RULES ARE MEANT TO KEEP DANGEROUS SUSPECTS IN JAIL … AND TO RELEASE THOSE WHO ARE NOT CONSIDERED VIOLENT AND WHO CANNOT AFFORD TO PAY BAIL.
BUT GOVERNOR MARTINEZ SAYS THE STATE JUDICIARY IS USING THE REVISED BAIL SYSTEM TO RELEASE MOST CRIMINALS REGARDLESS OF THEIR CIRCUMSTANCES.
