There was no social distancing, she said. Everywhere she went at the Case Farms plant, there were dozens of workers crowded into a small space. In the locker room, where everyone put on their uniforms. On the cutting line, where she spent eight hours slicing chicken breasts. In the cafeteria during lunch. Even at break time, when workers lined up to use the bathroom.
A district judge found state Sen. Richard Martinez guilty of driving while intoxicated and reckless driving on Tuesday. After the state senator was taken to a hospital, police arrested him for DWI and reckless driving. In that footage Martinez was inconsistent on how much he had to drink and about the type of drinks he had. In his closing arguments, Foster criticized police for not following protocol and for inconsistencies in their reports.
During the first day of trial, prosecutors argued that the dark spot was urine and a sign that Martinez was too intoxicated to drive a car. The first day of the two-day trial focused largely on the testimony from two victims, the arresting officer and two doctors.
Prosecutors charged state Sen. Prosecutors on Monday argued that there was more than enough evidence to show that Martinez was intoxicated when the crash happened. Martinez sat stoically as he listened to testimony from both the arresting officer and the man and woman who were involved in the crash.
He also testified that his injuries were bad enough to prevent him from playing with his granddaughter. Now, Sisneros told the court, he can no longer jump on a trampoline with his granddaughter. Next month, the New Mexico Legislature is expected to consider legalizing recreational use cannabis. Many in the medical cannabis community have publicly expressed concerns about producer plant limits, social inequalities within the program and testing standards.
