New Mexico Supreme Court upholds conviction in 2013 slayings

SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — The New Mexico Supreme Court has upheld the conviction of a man who fatally shot a father and daughter in 2013.
Jordan Hurd had appealed his conviction on first-degree murder and aggravated battery charges, saying crime scene photographs should not have been admitted as evidence during his trial. He also argued there was not enough evidence to convict him.
Justices rejected his arguments in a ruling Thursday.
Authorities say Hurd is serving life in prison for the shooting deaths of Wesley Hobbs and his daughter Amanda in Jarales.
Amanda Hobbs' mother, Patricia Hobbs, was wounded in the shooting that authorities say came as Hurd and two other men tried to sell a stolen motorcycle to Wesley Hobbs and obtain drugs at his family's home.
