"When a monster rapes and murders a child or a criminal kills a police officer, the death penalty should be an option for the jury. That's why I'm calling on the legislature to repeal and reinstate the death penalty."Susana Martinez
The Governor of New Mexico, Susana Martinez received the Rayner
Goddard Act of Courage Award from the comrades of Unit 1012. She favors the
use of the death penalty and is working to reinstate it in the State.
We have watched her fight for justice and the death penalty in New
Mexico and want her to know that she has encouraged victims' families and
leaders worldwide. We honor and respect her. We hope that more judges and government
officials will follow her courageous character.

New
Mexico's Governor Wants To Reinstate Death Penalty
September 28, 2016
The governor of New Mexico is pushing
to reinstate the death penalty after a series of high-profile crimes this
year.
Gov. Susana Martinez wants to discuss the issue in an upcoming special session, which she originally called to address the state's budget shortfall. This year two underage girls were brutally raped and murdered in different parts of the state and two police officers were killed while on duty. Martinez wants the death penalty to apply to these types of crimes.
"Do those people who are charged deserve the ultimate penalty, which is the death penalty? I say yes, they do," she told an Albuquerque TV news station.
A poll of 1,000 New Mexicans funded by a local news group showed 59 percent supported the governor. Critics say reinstating the death penalty would further burden the state's budget crisis.
New Mexico is one of 30 states that no longer applies capital punishment.
