Show Notes
Bernadine Martin, New Mexicos first female Navajo district attorney, resigned amidst allegations of neglect, incompetence, and private law practice. Her resignation followed an investigation requested by Governor Lujan Grisham, which uncovered a hostile work environment, poor case management, and invalid contracts. The eleventh Judicial Districts San Juan County office took over McKinley cases, with John Bernitz serving as acting district attorney. The budget will fully return to the office in July, and a settlement dismissed the removal case, ensuring justice for McKinley County residents until Martins term ends in 2028.
