THE LAST TWO MEN ON NEW MEXICO’S DEATH ROW HAVE HAD THEIR DEATH SENTENCES VACATED BY THE STATE SUPREME COURT. TIMOTHY ALLEN KILLED A 17 YEAR OLD GIRL IN 1994. ROBERT FRY MURDERED AND RAPED A MOTHER OF FIVE IN 2000. THE CASES ARE BEING SENT BACK TO THE DISTRICT COURT IN SAN JUAN COUNTY WHERE THE TWO WILL FACE LIFE SENTENCES. NEW MEXICO ABOLISHED THE DEATH PENALTY IN 2009…BUT ALLEN AND FRY REMAINED ON DEATH ROW BECAUSE THE CRIMES OCCURRED BEFORE THEN. THE LAST PERSON TO BE EXECUTED IN NEW MEXICO WAS TERRY CLARK IN 2001.
