SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) An Alamogordo man serving life in prison for murder and other crimes has lost an appeal.
The New Mexico Supreme Court upheld the convictions Monday of Robert “Bob” Chavez in the 2011 killing of a man whose body was later burned.
Chavez’s attorneys had argued he should not have been tried in 2019 jointly with Matias Loza, who pleaded guilty to murder and other charges.
The state s highest court unanimously found that a joint trial did not impact Chavez s civil rights or his defense.
Prosecutors say Chavez, his brother Joe and Loza ran a drug-trafficking gang called the AZ Boys. It originated in the Phoenix area but they moved to Alamogordo.

For some of us, it wasn’t until we woke up the next morning, with panicked animals frantically searching the floors of our homes for strange smells, before we realized the cold air blowing into our living rooms was coming from newly cracked-open back doors and ajar windows. Many of us quickly realized our cars and so many other valuables had disappeared. My daughter’s favorite skateboard, a wife’s irreplaceable 17th century violin she played at their wedding, guns, silencers, hospital badges, computers, Air Jordan sneakers, and even food.

Ultra Health CEO Duke Rodriguez called the Cannabis Regulation Act passage monumental.
The Cannabis Regulation Act will take effect 90 days after the 2021 First Special Session ends, which puts the effective date at about June 30. Keep in mind, that doesn t mean that sales will commence on that date because the Act itself that was passed is (142 pages) and it covers a wide range of things including taxation, possession limits, fines and penalties, licensing requirements, a whole host of matters about distribution of taxes imposed, Rodriguez said.
Some parts of the Cannabis Regulation Act will go into effect on the day the Act is signed into law such as New Mexico Gross Receipts taxes no longer being applied to medical cannabis purchases, Rodriguez said.
