State v. Vargas
New Mexico Court of Appeals
1Opinion of the Court
OPINION
HARTZ, Judge.
Defendant appeals his convictions for second-degree murder and tampering with evidence. He asserts four grounds for reversal of his convictions: (1) the admission into evidence of his confession to Detective Barbara Cantwell; (2) the seizure of four newspaper clippings and a letter during the search of his home, and the admission into evidence of three of the clippings; (3) the failure of the district court to grant him sufficient time for scientific analysis of the automobile in which the victim was shot; and (4) prosecutorial misconduct during trial. We affirm.
