Ballinger Granted New Trial in Uecker Murder Case
Gene Ballinger convicted of second degree murder in the Warren Uecker death near Pine Cienega Ranch, Mule Creek, July 22, 1980, has won a new trial from the New Mexico Court of Appeals. Ballinger, free on appeal, has lived in Florida. The reversal cites handling of witness John Rizzo’s testimony. Rizzo, once immunity granted, was the prosecution’s lead witness and may be cross examined in the new trial, though his immunity may remain. Attorneys Asa Kelly and Jerry Lockett represented Ballinger. DA Ralph Ellinwood plans Supreme Court review.
