Facts
Ricardo Martinez (defendant) was charged by the government (plaintiff) with two counts of murder in New Mexico state court. Martinez was convicted. Martinez appealed the conviction, arguing that the trial court improperly denied a motion Martinez had filed to suppress eyewitness-identification evidence. Martinez argued that the rule governing the admissibility of eyewitness-identification evidence in New Mexico, which was based on the federal rule governing eyewitness-identification evidence, should be overturned.
