The Twelfth Judicial District Attorney, Scot D. Key, announced that on July 19, 2024, an Otero County jury convicted Nicholas Hubbard of first-degree murder (felony willful and deliberate murder), tampering with evidence, and interference with communications. The verdict came after a four-day trial before the Honorable Stephen Ochoa. The jury deliberated for approximately three and a half hours before reaching their decision.
Nicholas Hubbard’s sentencing is scheduled for September 16, 2024.
The case began on January 18, 2022, when the Alamogordo Police Department responded to a reported stabbing in the 1400 block of Juniper Street. Upon arrival, officers found Esther Y. Hubbard in the living room, severely beaten with facial deformities consistent with blunt force trauma. She was transported to Gerald Champion Regional Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead. Nicholas Hubbard was found in the shower with blood on several parts of his body.
The investigation revealed that Nicholas Hubbard had been acting erratically earlier in the day. His grandmother Mrs. Sutton discovered what appeared to be narcotics in his pocket and observed him consuming alcohol. Esther Hubbard, Nicholas's mother, later arrived at the home to check on him, and a violent confrontation ensued. Nicholas punched her multiple times, causing her to fall. Mrs. Sutton, his grandmother, attempted to intervene and call 911, but Nicholas took her phone away. Esther crawled to the living room, where Nicholas followed and continued to assault her with his hands and feet, resulting in her death.
An arrest warrant was issued for Nicholas Hubbard, charging him with first-degree murder, tampering with evidence, and interference with communications.
Per the release, the case was investigated by the 12th Judicial District Major Crimes Unit, which includes investigators from the 12th Judicial District Attorney’s Office, Alamogordo Police Department, Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office, Otero County Sheriff’s Office, and Ruidoso Police Department.
The case was prosecuted by Deputy District Attorneys Daniel Sewell and Michael Heitz.
a perfect example of the incompetence of the trump regime - bathwater out - baby out...details - we don't need no stinkin details. the only paint brush they possess must be half a mile wide...government by fools and charlatans.
This was not a notice of action, but a request for compliance.

Dolly has started a great program and I commend her efforts.
I know it's been a while since I've bought a children's book, but I don't think $33 per book would be considered a bargain even at today's prices.
The proposed rules would likely force all outdoor construction to happen only between the hours of dusk - dawn from April - October.
I wonder how many of the idiots proposing and supporting this rule need a new roof on their house, or on their neighbors house.
it's interesting to read that the proposed "wording is dangerous to small business owners"....please consider the potential for danger to the folks who are working in the heat. one danger is an inconvenience/expense - the other is potential death.
I would take it that you have not read the actual proposed rule. The link is in the article.
I believe that even as a former construction worker who would seem to want better rules in place, you'll end up agreeing that the proposed rules go to far.
Teaching in a low-performing school serving economically disadvantaged populations.
That pretty much covers every teacher in the state.
This executive order does nothing that the governor couldn't have done on her own without an EO.
While the Office of the Governor's website calls this a drought emergency, no where in the actual EO is it called an emergency, nor or emergency powers invoked.
So after months of investigation, only 3 items were substantiated.
First, a failure to use the increased funding on capital improvements (fixing the ac). This is a matter that should receive priority, as physical activity should play a major role in any youth center.
If they would've labeled it as beef, carrots, potatoes, and other natural ingredients, there would be no need for a recall.
not to worry - under the trump regime there won't be nearly as many safeguards for situations like this. we'll be able to determine your personal level of safety purely on your ability to pay for that protection.
You love to rant against president Trump, but like most people who rant against him, your rants have no substance, and no merit.
