Thanks to a very BRAVE Los Lunas woman for coming forward in the Nicholas Morales rape case, and pursuing this issue all the way to the New Mexico Supreme Court; the fifteen year statute of limitations has been lifted on all first degree felonies dating back to 1982. When I was contacted in May by this young woman, I was thrilled beyond belief and in such admiration of what she did and how she stood up for herself. She said to me, “I knew how important this case was and I knew what it would mean for Tara.” She was right….what many people don’t know is that even IF they found Tara’s abductors or killers for that matter, and even IF they were convicted and found guilty. They may not have served a day in jail for it because the statute of limitations had run out! However, thanks to a very brave individual, that statute has been lifted!!! I don’t know if she would want me to mention her name, so I won’t, but I just want her to know that this is monumental and because of her, justice will come to be served in many cases that have been swept under the rug because of the statute. I am so proud and honored to have gotten this opportunity to reconnect with her. God bless and may justice be served! To see the article, click on the link above.
