2nd Judicial District Attorney

The 2nd Judicial District Attorney’s primary race in Bernalillo County is now the battleground for the top two funded candidates in the entire state – incumbent Sam Bregman and his challenger, former U.S. Attorney Damon Martinez – both Democrats.

The district attorney in Bernalillo County earlier this month sued the district court for ankle monitor location data from defendants who are free on monitored pretrial release. DA Raul Torrez said he thinks the data may place suspected violent criminals at several recent murder and burglary scenes, if the court would just agree to hand it over.
