Incoming prosecutor: Albuquerque shooting case to get review

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — Metro Albuquerque's incoming district attorney has announced plans for an independent review of the case involving two former Albuquerque police officers accused in the shooting death of a mentally ill homeless man during a 2014 standoff. It will be up to District Attorney-elect Raul Torrez to eventually decide if former Officer Dominique Perez and now-retired Detective Keith Sandy should be retried in the fatal shooting of James Boyd following an October mistrial due to a hung jury. Torrez says the case needs a prompt, thorough review and that it'll be conducted by a team of senior trial prosecutors from around the state. The review is expected to be done early next year. The team will then make a recommendation to the 2nd Judicial District Attorney's Office.
