Wheels turning slowly in Gallup liquor case
In Gallup, 14 clerks and 12 liquor dealers cited in March for alleged violations face slow justice as only one case, a clerk at the Round Up Saloon, Mary Yazzie, was decided May 19 in her favor. Judge Eastburn found no knowing sale to an intoxicated person due to factors like limited vision and noise distraction. The case signals ongoing but uneven progress, with prosecutors noting need to prove knowledge of intoxication beyond a reasonable doubt.
