Supreme Court Blocks ER Evidence in Trevizo Case | Albuquerque News

New Mexico’s top court just threw a major wrench in the Alexee Trevizo murder case, ruling that her ER medical statements can’t be used against her — because she was too mentally and physically compromised to have waived her privacy rights. The state argued that anyone present automatically forfeits confidentiality, but the court said that’s not how it works — you need to be capable of making that choice. Trevizo was in crisis when cops entered her room without consent, and she never had a chance to object. The court also shut down the prosecution’s claim that doctor-patient privilege doesn’t apply once abuse reporting is triggered — clarifying that reporting ends the duty, not the privilege. With this key piece of evidence now off the table, the case is back on hold — and the legal battle just got more complicated.
