Description
Richard J. Montoya (defendant) was tried by jury and convicted of first degree felony-murder and armed robbery of Robert P. Larson. The jury, pursuant to NMSA 1978, Section 31-20A-5(A) (Repl. Pamp.1981) unanimously found that the victim was a peace officer who was performing the lawful discharge of his duties at the time of the murder. However, the jury was unable to unanimously agree that defendant be sentenced to death pursuant to NMSA 1978, Sections 31-20A-2 and -3 (Repl. Pamp.1981). Defendant was sentenced to life imprisonment for the first degree murder conviction and to nine years for the armed robbery conviction. The two sentences were to run consecutively. Defendant appeals. We affirm.
