Defendants in New Mexico are entitled to a preliminary hearing withing 10 days of an arrest if they’re not released. An attempt was made to release them but because they did not have adequate housing in Taos County, they continued to be detained. Had they been released, the prosecution would have had 60 days to hold the preliminary hearing.
Prosecution blamed the confusion surrounding their continued detention for their error, but Judge Jeff McElroy wasn’t impressed with the excuses, calling it a “complete failure to follow the proper procedures in prosecuting the case.”

About an hour later, Judge Jeff McElroy came to the same decision regarding Siraj Wahhaj and Jany Leveille.
