New Mexico Court Blocks Key Evidence | Albuquerque News

A major legal twist in a shocking New Mexico case: a 19-year-old woman, Alexee Trevizo, may be off the hook after the state supreme court ruled her hospital admissions — made while on narcotics and in a vulnerable state — are protected by physician-patient confidentiality and can’t be used against her. The case began when hospital staff found a newborn in a trash can and police questioned Trevizo in her room; though the state argued she wasn’t coerced, the court sided with her lawyer, emphasizing her diminished mental capacity. The ruling could derail the case entirely, as prosecutors now face a major evidentiary hurdle — though they still believe justice can be served. The trial’s future hangs in the balance.
