Lettuce Recall Halts Murder Trial | Santa Fe News
Description
A murder trial in Albuquerque hit pause when defense attorney Mark Ramsey fell ill—blaming a nationwide lettuce recall linked to a cyclosporiasis outbreak. With symptoms worsening daily, Ramsey requested a delay to ensure his client got the best possible defense. The judge agreed, sending the jury home and resetting the trial for September 28th. The prosecutor worried about speedy trial rights, but the court prioritized Ramsey’s health. Meanwhile, Ramsey plans to ask for his client’s release from pretrial detention once he recovers. It’s a wild reminder of how even our food can ripple through the justice system.
