SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — Defense attorneys for New Mexico's last two death row inmates on Tuesday urged the Supreme Court to consider an array of similar murder cases resulting in lighter sentences, as justices weigh whether to move forward with the executions in a state that no longer allows death sentences.
