A SPECIAL PROSECUTOR IS NOW IN PLACE TO TRY THE MURDER CASE AGAINST APD OFFICERS KEITH SANDY AND DOMINIQUE PEREZ. BERNALILLO COUNTY D-A KARI BRANDENBURG SAYS ALBUQUERQUE ATTORNEY RANDI MCGINN HAS STEPPED IN TO HANDLE THE CASE.
DURING A NEWS CONFERENCE, READ FROM A STATEMENT FROM MCGINN’S OFFICE THAT THE CIVIL RIGHTS LAWYER AGREED TO TAKE THE CASE AFTER LEARNING THAT THE ATTORNEY GENERAL AND OTHER ATTORNEY’S OFFICES ACROSS THE STATE DECLINED TO TAKE THE CASE. ATTORNEY GENERAL HECTOR BALDERAS SAID A CONFLICT OF INTEREST PREVENTED HIM FROM INVESTIGATING THE MATTER.
MCGINN’S LAW FIRM WILL CHARGE 54-HUNDRED DOLLARS, THE AMOUNT PAID TO PUBLIC DEFENDERS IN MURDER CASES. BOYD WAS A HOMELESS CAMPER WHEN HE WAS SHOT AND KILLED DURING A LONG STANDOFF WITH POLICE OVER A YEAR AGO.
