NEHEMIAH GRIEGO, WHO KILLED FIVE FAMILY MEMBERS IN ALBUQUERQUE’S SOUTH VALLEY WHEN HE WAS 15, IS SCHEDULED TO BE RELEASED FROM CUSTODY IN MARCH WHEN HE TURNS 21. ON WEDNESDAY, A HEARING WAS HELD BEFORE THE STATE COURT OF APPEALS ON WHETHER THAT SHOULD HAPPEN.
THE ATTORNEY GENERAL’S OFFICE ARGUES GRIEGO WOULD BE A DANGER TO THE COMMUNITY IF HE’S RELEASED THAT EARLY. GRIEGO’S OLDER SISTER SAYS THE SAME.
IN JANUARY OF 2013, GRIEGO KILLED HIS MOTHER, FATHER, AND THREE YOUNGER SIBLINGS AT THEIR HOME. HE’S SPENT THE LAST TWO YEARS GETTING TREATMENT FROM THE STATE CHILDREN, YOUTH AND FAMILIES DEPARTMENT.
