LEARN A LOT
MORE
TODAY...ABOUT A
BABY GIRL FOUND
DEAD IN A HOUSE
IN
MARTINEZTOWN.

AFTERNOON...AND

POLICE SAY THEY
DON'T KNOW HOW
THE BABY
DIED...AND ARE
STILL TALKING
WITH THE GIRLS'
FAMILY.
WE'RE ALSO
HOPING TO LEARN
MORE ABOUT A
FIGHT IN
NORTHWEST
ALBUQUERQUE
THAT POLICE SAY
LEFT ONE MAN
VIRTUALLY BRAIN
DEAD.
COPS SAY TWO
MEN WERE
INVOLVED.
IT HAPPENED ON
12th NEAR
CANDELARIA
YESTERDAY
EVENING.
AUTHORITIES SAY
ONE MAN ENDED
UP WITH NO
PULSE.. BUT
PARAMEDICS
WERE ABLE TO
REVIVE HIM.
POLICE ARE
TRYING TO FIND
OUT IF THE FIGHT
CAUSED THAT TO
HAPPEN...OR IF
THE MAN HAD A
MEDICAL
CONDITION THAT
CAUSED IT.
A NEW MEXICO
LAW COULD BE IN
JEOPARDY IF THE
U-S SUPREME
COURT RULES
AGAINST A
SIMILAR LAW IN
ANOTHER STATE.
"KATIE'S LAW"
ALLOWS POLICE
TO COLLECT D-N-A
SAMPLES FROM
SUSPECTS
ARRESTED FOR
FELONY CRIMES.
IT'S NAMED AFTER
KATIE SEPICH -- A
NEW MEXICO
STATE STUDENT
MURDERED IN
2003.
AROUND 25
OTHER STATES
HAVE SIMILAR
LAWS.
THE U.S.
SUPREME COURT
WILL REVIEW
MARYLAND'S DNA
LAW.
IT'S BEING
CHALLENGED BY A
CONVICTED
RAPIST WHO'S DNA
WAS TAKEN FOR
AN UNRELATED
CRIME.
HERE'S WHAT
KATIE'S MOTHER
THINKS ABOUT
THE CHALLENGE.
4:32 we've waited for
this, we're happy
about this. we believe
it's going to be upheld
and when it's upheld
we believe the
remaining 25 states
will pass it because
that's one of the
stumbling blocks.
opponents say it
violates the
constitution 4:47
THE HAS HELPED
SOLVE 380-CASES
SINCE IT TOOK
EFFECT IN NEW
MEXICO IN 2007.
THOSE CASES
COULD BE FOUND
INVALID IF THE U.S.
SUPREME COURT
STRIKES DOWN
THE MARYLAND
LAW.
THIS SPRING, WE
SHOULD KNOW IF
THE THREE
PEOPLE WHO
WERE CHARGED
WITH MIS-USING
FEDERAL
MONEY...ALONG
WITH FORMER
SECRETARY OF
STATE, REBECCA
VIGIL-GIRON, WILL
GET THEIR
CHARGES
DROPPED AS
WELL.
THAT'S WHEN A
JUDGE IS SET TO
LOOK AT THE
CASE AGAINST
ELIZABETH
KUPFER, HER
HUSBAND JOSEPH
AND ARMANDO
GUTIERREZ... WHO
ARE ALL ACCUSED
OF TAKING MORE
THAN A MILLION
DOLLARS THAT
WAS SUPPOSED
TO BE SPENT ON
VOTER-EDUCATION
COMMERCIALS IN
2006... AND
SPENDING IT ON
OTHER THINGS.
A JUDGE
DISMISSED VIGIL-
GIRON'S CHARGES
LAST
WEEK...SAYING
THE CASE
DRAGGED ON TOO
LONG.
LAWYERS FOR
THE OTHER THREE
SAY THE SAME
GOES FOR THEM...
BUT THE
PROSECUTOR
DISAGREES.
WE'RE NOW
WAITING TO HEAR
IF A JUDGE WILL
ORDER TWO PIT
BULLS TO BE PUT
DOWN...AFTER
POLICE SAY THEY
ATTACKED A
WOMAN AND HER
CHIHUAHUA IN
SANTA FE.
THE SANTA FE
NEW MEXICAN
SAYS THE DOGS'
OWNER...GERARD
MATTHEWS... WILL
BE CHARGED WITH
KEEPING VICIOUS
ANIMALS AND
LETTING THEM
RUN FREE.
LAST MONDAY...

FENCE AND WENT
AFTER HER AND
HER TINY DOG
LILLIE.
OFFICERS SAY
THE DOGS HURT
STILLS...AND
KILLED LILLIE.

NEW MEXICO
DAIRY FARMERS
ARE LOOKING FOR
FEDERAL HELP
AFTER SEVERAL
DAIRIES WERE
FORCED TO CLOSE
DOWN DUE TO
ECONOMIC
CHALLENGES.
AROUND 40 NEW
MEXICO DAIRIES
HAD TO CALL IT
QUIT BECAUSE OF
THE DROUGHT
AND HIGH HAY
PRICES.
THEY'RE HOPING
CONGRESS WILL
ALTER THE U.S.
FARM BILL AND
END-- OLD PRICE
SUPPORT
SYSTEMS.
EXPERTS SAY THE
PROPOSAL WOULD
CREATE A
REGULATED
PRODUCER-PAID
INSURANCE
PROGRAM THAT
WOULD
BASICALLY INSURE
THAT FARMERS
AND DAIRIES CAN
SURVIVE EVEN IN
THE TOUGHEST OF
TIMES.
