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.

This is part of a right wing conspiracy to keep moderate voices off the air.
Get well soon Anthony.
fascinating, i had no idea that diabetes was part of a conspiracy.
Many states including New Mexico have discouraged their residents from obtaining a Real ID by charging substantially more than a "Standard ID".
New Mexico charges an additional $18 for a Real ID, doubling the cost of a license or ID here.
Other states charge up to $90 or more for a Real ID.
question for you - do you know when the requirement for "real id" came about?
2005 was when the dept of homeland security was established - right in the middle of the bush/cheney regime....we took a giant step toward becoming a police state - and dear leader is working towards even more "big brother".
The dept. of Homeland Security was established in 2002, and became active in 2003. The requirement for Real ID was started in 2005.
Way to go MLG!!
You've secured 2 hundredths of 1% of the $10 trillion in foreign investment announced so far in the last few weeks.
What would we do without leadership like this?
at least she's facilitating foreign investments, while our Dear Leader is telling our trading partners and allies to take a hike.
You confuse me.
You say she's facilitating foreign investment, but then say "Our dear leader is telling partners and allies to take a hike" which could only refer to her. Because as I stated in my previous post, Trump has negotiated $10 trillion in investments from our partners and allies so far.
So MLG says the root problem is loneliness.
What has she and her party done to help?
Ive always leaned liberal and progressive, but hold to my Independent voter status. I have become extremely disenchanted with Gov Grisham over time. While I won't speak from any political position here, I have to agree with Commissioner Barelas comments about our Govs claims not matching with her actions. Also, I
The following is from the International Wolf Center;
funny you should mention polio; our new H&HS secretary, robt. kennedy jr, has made a lot of $$ advocating against vaccines - including the salk vaccine. he's been achieving some success in reviving measles lately, maybe he can do the same for polio - pretty bizarre request.
RFK is a lot like me in that regard, he's not actually advocating against vaccines, just advocating for better science, or at least science, before approving them. Something that has been sorely lacking from the NIH, FDA, and CDC. None of which allowed any research that didn't meet their political agenda. And al
