BERNALILLO COUNTY D-A KARI BRANDENBURG THURSDAY COULD ISSUE HER RESPONSE TO LAST WEEK’S RULING THAT SHE CANNOT PROSECUTE TWO APD OFFICERS ACCUSED OF KILLING HOMELESS CAMPER JAMES BOYD. DISTRICT JUDGE ALISA HADFIELD DISQUALIFIED BRANDENBURG FROM HANDLING THE CASE BECAUSE OF WHAT SHE CALLED THE APPEARANCE OF A CONFLICT OF INTEREST DUE TO THE FACT A-P-D HAD INVESTIGATED BRANDENBURG FOR POSSIBLE WITNESS BRIBERY AND INTIMIDATION.
JUDGE HADFIELD ALSO ORDERED THE D-A TO APPOINT A SPECIAL PROSECUTOR FOR THE CASE AGAINST OFFICERS KEITH SANDY AND DOMINIQUE PEREZ.
