New Mexico House passes crime bills while death penalty dies in Senate
The House voted 36-30 to restore death by lethal injection for killers of police and children, while two other crime bills expand Brianna's Law and widen the violent three strikes list. The Senate adjourned without action, as Democrats warn against rushed debates during a budget crisis and looming elections. Roswell lawmakers split on the measures as supporters push to address crimes against children and law enforcement.
