Albuquerque, NM – Man charged in love triangle shooting FREE TO GO under NM Bail Reform

Leonard Martinez, 28, is charged with three counts of shooting at a dwelling and aggravated battery with great bodily harm – after he shot another man five times during a domestic incident.

Martinez had confronted the man after he discovered his wife had met the man online and they “hung out” later.

Martinez was released and FREE TO GO under NM Bail Reform after the Arnold Foundation’s “Pretrial Risk Assessment” tool determined that he was not a danger to the community or a flight risk and therefore should not be subject to any accountable release – just a “promise” to appear.

The release is the result of the newly enacted Supreme Court guidelines issued by Chief Justice Daniels that virtually eliminates accountable pretrial release and bail.
