Judge denys bid to pull death penalty case defense
A state district judge in Albuquerque refused motions to withdraw from the Santa Rosa prison guard murder case, saying replacing defense attorneys now would disrupt trials and prejudice clients. The three defendants face a possible death penalty as prosecutors seek it for the 1999 stabbing death of Ralph Garcia. Attorneys claim no contract and wage disputes, with hourly rates far below industry norms.
