Description
McGee sought to hire Ortiz, an undercover police detective, to murder defendant's wife and to murder William Valentine. McGee and defendant were jointly indicted for conspiracy and attempt in the matter involving defendant's wife. In addition, McGee was charged with attempted murder in the matter involving Valentine. McGee's convictions on these charges were affirmed in State v. McGee, 95 N.M. 317, 621 P.2d 1129 (Ct. App. 1980). Defendant was convicted of the two charges against him. The dispositive issue in defendant's appeal involves the sufficiency of the evidence. None of the other issues raised by defendant are identified because they do not amount to reversible error. We discuss: (1) admissibility of Ortiz's testimony under the co-conspirator rule, and (2) sufficiency of the evidence to support a finding of guilt beyond a reasonable doubt under Jackson v. Virginia, 443 U.S. 307, 99 S. Ct. 2781, 61 L. Ed. 2d 560, (1979). We reverse the convictions under both of the issues discussed.
