THE JURY IN THE JAMES BOYD MURDER TRIAL CONTINUES DELIBERATIONS ON FRIDAY AFTER RECEIVING THE CASE THURSDAY AFTERNOON. CLOSING ARGUMENTS WERE HEARD THURSDAY AFTER THE NEARLY 3 WEEK TRIAL OF TWO FORMER ALBUQUERQUE POLICE OFFICERS CHARGED WITH KILLING BOYD.
SPECIAL PROSECUTOR RANDY MCGINN ONCE AGAIN PRESENTED KEY POINTS IN THE CASE AGAINST THE TWO FORMER APD OFFICERS, DOMINIQUE PEREZ AND KEITH SANDY . SHE TOLD THE JURY THAT NO-ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW. SANDY AND PEREZ BOTH TESTIFIED IN THEIR OWN DEFENSE IN THE SHOOTING DEATH OF BOYD OVER TWO AND A HALF YEARS AGO. MCGINN SAYS THE EVIDENCE IS THERE FOR A CONVICTION ON THE CHARGE OF 2ND DEGREE MURDER.
DEFENSE ATTORNEYS REPEATED THEIR ARGUMENTS THAT THE OFFICERS FIRED ON BOYD BECAUSE THEY SAW HIM AS A LETHAL THREAT TO ANOTHER OFFICER.
