| Judge Michael Murphy |
NMPolitics - The judge overseeing the bribery case against District Judge Mike Murphy on Monday unsealed an order he issued last week and revealed that he has dismissed the entire grand jury indictment that was issued in May. Judge Leslie Smith granted the defense’s request to dismiss the indictment based on an argument that exculpatory evidence should have been presented to the grand jury. The judge’s order allows special prosecutor Matt Chandler to take the allegations before a new grand jury and seek another indictment if he presents that evidence. For now, Murphy is no longer facing the four felony charges contained in the indictment. And as NMPolitics.net reported last week, Smith has also dismissed a misdemeanor charge of violating the state’s Governmental Conduct Act that Chandler brought against Murphy in June.
