Attorney General Raúl Torrez issued the following (profoundly pro-life) statement:
“We are pleased that the New Mexico Court of Appeals upheld justice and reaffirmed the conviction against Ms. Avila for throwing her newborn baby in a dumpster. My office, alongside District Attorney Dianna Luce, prosecuted this case and we are extremely fortunate that the child survived this horrific ordeal. My office will now focus on providing the support necessary to get Ms. Avila remanded back into custody.”
I remember this case. The baby was found by people who love to “dumpster dive”. They found the baby just hours after he had been thrown into the dumpster and called 911. Thank God they decided to go dumpster diving that night and that dumpster!
