Martinez eyes death penalty in special session

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) – New Mexico Gov. Susan Martinez says she will place reinstating the death penalty on the agenda for the pending special session to fix the state’s budget.
The Republican said in a statement Monday that she wants the death penalty as an option for convicted killers of police, children and corrections officers.
New Mexico repealed the death penalty in 2009 before Martinez took office by replacing provisions for lethal injection with a sentence of life in prison
