Begay Back in Court on Murder Charge | Albuquerque News

Geraldine Begay is back in court facing murder charges after a fatal stabbing, a case that’s escalated from aggravated battery. This isn’t her first brush with deadly accusations—three years ago, she was deemed incompetent to stand trial and released, despite a history of violent behavior tied to mental illness. Prosecutors say they previously tried to secure her in treatment but were denied by the court, which then ruled she wasn’t a danger. Now, following the recent attack, they’re pushing for preventative detention to keep her locked up while her case moves forward. The situation underscores New Mexico’s ongoing struggles with mental health resources and public safety. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
