“The day after a New Mexico prosecutor charged two police officers in the shooting death of a mentally ill homeless man last year, Albuquerque officials refused to allow representatives from the District Attorney’s office to participate in the investigation of a new officer-involved shooting that occurred on Tuesday.
According to KRQE, Chief Deputy District Attorney Sylvia Martinez was barred from a briefing about a shooting that occurred Tuesday evening because, she was told, the District Attorney’s office “has a conflict of interest because we charged the officers” who shot the homeless man last year.” *
