Making New Mexico the Laughing Stock of the Nation

I just heard that AOC, the Administrative Office of the Courts, has recommended that all criminal cases that don't result in a conviction and all criminal cases that result in a deferred sentence, meaning a conviction that gets dismissed after the defendant completes probation are to be removed from the state judiciary website.

Murder, rape and domestic violence have the highest non-conviction rates. AOC wants to make New Mexico the state that actively seeks to protect violent people so that they can continue being violent. This is absolutely the dumbest possible thing a state can do.

This will effectively nullify the ability to do a background check. Period. Any employer who wants a safe workplace, can give that concept up. Better not to hire at all..
