I don’t doubt they’ll be prosecuted, but for what? Cops murdered old lady in Atlanta 15 years ago and were prosecuted for “violation of oath of office”. Spent some jail time, but nothing like they would have gotten for murder or even manslaughter.
Probably a 2nd degree murder charge since it was not a premeditated killing. New Mexico has no qualified immunity... none. you are making a famous error. It is known as the curse of Lew Wallace, territorial governor and author of Ben Hur which he wrote while Territorial Governor.
““All calculations based on our experiences elsewhere fail in New Mexico.””
Lew Wallace.
The curse works both directions. Whatever happens elsewhere, it is not a predictor for New Mexico.
