Public Defender reforms face opposition at hearings
Defenders caution that proposed rules to refuse counsel threaten constitutional rights. Officials note a near 4 percent funding increase won’t curb caseloads in busy districts like Second Judicial, where a 24 percent budget rise goes to the DA’s office. Critics warn of “judicial triage” risks and demand solutions before shifting resources. A second hearing is planned in Ruidoso with a June commission meeting to review testimony and changes.
