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.

LAS CRUCES Dorris Hamilton, a 91-year-old retired middle-school principal, had started to notice some odd things happening in her life: She had stopped receiving all mail at her home of 50 years right off Las Cruces’ busy Main Street. She was locked out of all four of her bank accounts across town. Then, one morning in late August 2019, someone knocked on her door and presented her with a document issued by a judge, authorizing her “transport” to a nursing home.
In disbelief, Hamilton got into her gold Nissan Altima and drove to the Third Judicial District Court to find the judge who had ordered this.
