LAS CRUCES - A Las Cruces man who admitted to killing his mom with a sword in 2014 was found not guilty of first-degree murder by a Doña Ana County jury on Friday.
The jury was also asked to consider a second-degree murder charge, but couldn t reach a unanimous decision. Seven of the 12 jurors voted for a guilty verdict on that charge.
Because of the hung jury, Third Judicial District Court Judge Conrad Perea ruled a mistrial. Hunt will remain in jail until he s tried again for second-degree murder.
Hunt s sanity has been a question within court proceedings in the nearly seven years since he admitted to slaying his mom, 56-year-old Lisa Cano, July 18, 2014 at their home on the 5800 block of Organ Peak Drive.
