The Second Judicial District Attorney’s Office has filed a petition for an extraordinary writ, asking the New Mexico Supreme Court to overturn a trial judge’s ruling allowing a defendant in a murder trial to cross-examine a prosecution witness with the results of a polygraph examination, according to this report by Scott Sandlin in the Albuquerque Journal.
The DA’s Office contends that Ronald Santiago murdered John and Bernadette Ohlemacher in 2005.
