Show Notes
Prosecutors in Albuquerque, New Mexico, seek to detain nineteen-year-old Miguel Rivera, facing four pending cases, including burglary and property damage. Riveras history of similar offenses and past competency rulings may be challenged, but the district attorneys office plans to contest. The office has handled four hundred competency evaluations since last year, with most resulting in dropped charges due to mental illness or low IQ. Prosecutors argue for preventative detention to protect the public, while broader fixes like community programs and court diversion options are considered to handle these challenging cases more effectively.
