THE STATE AUDITOR’S OFFICE WANTS TO TAKE A CLOSE LOOK AT HOW THE JUSTICE SYSTEM IS WORKING IN THE 2ND JUDICIAL DISTRICT. AUDITOR WAYNE JOHNSON SAYS IT’S ONE WAY TO GET A HANDLE ON ALBUQUERQUE’S CRIME PROBLEM. WE SAYS THEY CAN BRING IN A WHOLE ARMY OF AUDITORS TO FIND OUT WHERE THE SYSTEMIC PROBLEMS LIE IN THE 2ND JUDICIAL DISTRICT.
JOHNSON HOPES TO IDENTIFY SHORTCOMINGS AND GAPS IN THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM AND THEN PRESENT THE FINDINGS TO THOSE INVOLVED SO THEY CAN ADDRESS ANY ISSUES HIS OFFICE UNCOVERS.
JOHNSON TELLS US HE’D LIKE TO GET THIS UNDERWAY BY THE END OF JULY.
