Case Details
Dismissal of second-degree murder charges against John Marlowe Davidson upheld due to prosecutorial misconduct and negligence by the state and Farmington Police, including mishandling evidence, withholding evidence, and eavesdropping on attorney-client conversations. Victor A. Titus successfully argued for the initial dismissal.
Additional Notes
Victor A. Titus argued successfully that these repeated violations by the state warranted the dismissal of charges, which the court granted. The decision was appealed by the State and Davidson was represented on appeal by the public defender. The case was fully briefed and reviewed by the New Mexico Court of Appeals who upheld the original dismissal decision.
