Episode Details

New Mexico’s top court has sealed De La O’s fate, upholding his life sentence after a unanimous ruling that his murder of Officer Anthony Ferguson was deliberate and willful — not a rash act. Despite his claims of second-degree murder, the court found he knowingly ignored orders, pulled out a sawed-off shotgun, and shot the officer in the face while fleeing. The court dismissed his mistrial request and jury instruction complaints, emphasizing the overwhelming evidence — including his refusal to surrender the weapon — proves intent to kill. His appeal? Crushed. His sentence? Still locked in.
