She made the announcement during a virtual briefing, proclaiming that the state was “conquering COVID.”
Lujan Grisham and state health officials said the state s pace of vaccinations has been as an overwhelming driver for the progress seen in recent months, with more than 60 people vaccinated for every new case of COVID-19 reported.

In 2016, Christopher Garcia was sentenced to more than three decades in prison for not calling 911 after a 14-month-old boy he had been babysitting was fatally injured.
On Friday, the New Mexico Supreme Court wiped all that away by reversing the 34-year-old’s conviction.

The court’s decision, following a yearslong appeal, states that there was insufficient evidence to prove “medical neglect” in the 2015 death of Isaac Arevalos. The court dismissed the child abuse and conspiracy charges to “avoid a double jeopardy violation.”

“This has been a heartbreaking and tragic case,” said Justine Fox-Young, Garcia’s attorney. “We appreciate that the Supreme Court took a hard look at the legal issues involved and reversed Mr. Garcia’s convictions.”
