Case State of New Mexico v. Joshua Shane Freeman Court Supreme Court of New Mexico Date Decided June 4, 2026
Case Kalvin Kiehne, et al. v. New Mexico Department of Game and Fish and New Mexico State Game Commission Court
The New Mexico Court of Appeals affirmed convictions for battery, shooting at or from a motor vehicle with a firearm enhancement, and conspiracy to commit tampering with evidence — formalizing as published precedent that the firearm enhancement under NMSA 1978, § 31-18-16 does not violate double jeopardy when applied to a shooting-at-vehicle conviction, and holding for the first time in a published opinion that identifying bullet-impact marks in photographs constitutes lay, not expert, testimony.
