Defense attorneys filed a motion on Wednesday, Sept. 28, alleging misconduct by the prosecution in the trial of two former Albuquerque police officers who shot homeless camper James Boyd.
The motion says prosecutors have misrepresented evidence, defied the court鈥檚 orders and "pushed the boundaries of prosecutorial ethics and professionalism."
It calls out special prosecutor Randi McGinn鈥檚 opening statement, saying promises about what the evidence would show were proven wrong. The motion also accuses the prosecution of asking witnesses leading questions and coaching witnesses improperly.
Dominique Perez and Keith Sandy are charged with murder and face 15 years in prison.
