GOVERNOR MARTINEZ HAS UNVEILED HER 2018 LEGISLATIVE AGENDA WHEN IT COMES TO FIGHTING CRIME. WHEN LAWMAKERS CONVENE IN SANTA FE NEXT WEEK, THEY’LL BE ASKED TO REINSTATE THE DEATH PENALTY FOR THOSE WHO KILL CHILDREN, POLICE OR CORRECTIONS OFFICERS.
THE GOVERNOR ALSO WANTS TO EXPAND NEW MEXICO’S THREE STRIKES LAW…AND REFORM THE PRE-TRIAL RELEASE SYSTEM TO KEEP DANGEROUS CRIMINALS LOCKED UP. MARTINEZ IS ALSO CALLING FOR AN EXPANSION OF BABY BRIANNA’S LAW TO ALLOW FOR A LIFE SENTENCE FOR INTENTIONAL CHILD ABUSE RESULTING IN DEATH, REGARDLESS OF THE CHILD’S AGE.
