Courts presume that the defendant is innocent unless and until the prosecution secures a conviction through due process. This means the defendant remains legally not guilty unless the prosecution proves the charge beyond a reasonable doubt and a jury returns a verdict of guilty.
All charges mentioned are drawn from official New Mexico Courts/Odyssey filings for the listed cases. Charges may be dropped, amended, or declined to be prosecuted at the time of trial or as part of a plea agreement. Booking photos and MDC links are included when available.
