Murder in New Mexico and Three Cases that Illustrate how the Statute is Implemented The three cases that I will be looking at are: State v. Contreras, State v. Nieto, and State v. Garcia. To start off I will first summarize the case of State v. Contreras. The case number is 21455. The defendant was charged under the section 30-2-1 along with tampering with evidence and unlawful taking of a car. I will only be talking about the charge of first-degree murder that he is facing not the other charges against him. This case starts off at 10:30 pm. The date was May 14, 1992. A cab was called to pick up a person by the name of Frank. Around 11:00 pm, just thirty minutes later, a couple of men heard a man calling for help. The man was indeed Doran, …show more content…

Once he knew that Garcia was a suspect he went to find him. He went to a house where he thought he would be able to find Garcia. The officer asked the people at the house if they had seen Garcia and they had all said no. Later however, the officer figure out that one of the individuals at the house was in fact Garcia. According to the report it was “approximately seven hours” after the stabbing that Garcia turned himself in. It was on June 8, 1990 that Garcia was charged with second-degree murder. Sadly Garcia was very intoxicated and that controlled his actions during the stabbing. The last case I will be summarizing is State v. Nieto. The case number is 24,787. The defendant’s name is Lawrence Nieto. The date was April 14, 1995. This case begins with Ben Anaya Sr. going up to his cabin to see his son, Ben Anaya Jr., whom he had not seen for months. When Ben Anaya Sr. got to his cabin he noticed things were out of place. The gate was open and there was trash everywhere in the yard.

    if you witnessed someone getting stabbed repeatedly would you call the police? for these 38 people who lived in Queens their answer was no. In Martin Gansberg’s story “Thirty-Eight Who Saw Murder Didn't Call the Police” he uses pathos to describes how a woman named Kitty Genovese was stabbed three times in three separate attacks on her way home from work while Thirty-eight people watched and didn’t call the police. Gansberg shows how the assistant chief inspector is baffled not by the fact that it was a murder but by the fact that out of the Thirty-eight people who witnessed the murder only one person called the police but only after the murderer had time to stab Kitty Genovese flee the scene and come back three times within a 35-minute time period. Gansberg, throughout the story, subtly creates a what would you do scenario by making readers wish they were there to help because the story appeals to the readers emotions

    A murder is a punishable crime which involves the killing of one person by another. The basic elements of murder include killing someone with the intent to kill, killing someone one with the intent of serious body harm, killing someone with recklessness and killing someone through violence. In order to convict someone of an attempt to murder, there should be strong evidence which shows the suspect took a major step towards the target with the intention to kill. There are multiple court rulings in the past that specify this vital point, ‘direct step’ and not mere preparation.
