Lawmakers urged rapid DNA, victim rights and IPRA access in NM special session
At a press conference NM District Attorney Torrez announced three bills to boost funding for rapid DNA analysis, create a Crime Victim Advocate Office, and ensure public access to pretrial release records. He cited FBI crime data showing New Mexico leads in violent crime while noting the 90s to 90s-level case backlogs. Farmington Police Chief Hebbe discussed cost and regional collaboration for DNA machines, with a $220,000 upfront price and ongoing maintenance. The proposals follow a recent IPRA suit against the NM Court over GPS monitoring records and include calls for clearer access to release monitoring information and consequences for violations.
