Jaramillo appeals convictions in chase deaths
High Drama on the Highway: A Fatal Chase Gone Wrong
A woman, Jeannine Jaramillo, is appealing her life sentences for causing a tragic crash that killed an officer and a firefighter. She claims self-defense, arguing she was fleeing from a dude with a knife. The twist? The jury found her guilty under tricky murder laws that don’t require intent to kill. Talk about a wild ride!
Legal Loopholes: Can She Get Off?
Jaramillo's lawyer is banking on past cases where similar charges didn't stick. He's saying the law in New Mexico shouldn’t hold her accountable for something that wasn’t directly her fault—like the cop crashing into someone else. It’s all about whether the rules can bend to fit her story.
Jaramillo’s Past Comes Back to Haunt Her
The court let jurors know about Jaramillo’s previous car chase drama, which isn’t helping her case. Yet, she's trying to shake off more than just the murder convictions; she’s also fighting against charges related to injuries caused during the chase and questions about the stolen vehicle she was driving.
