Noteworthy cases
Jaramillo sentences teen to 30 days for second-degree murder
Jaramillo sentenced 17-year-old New Mexico teenager Santiago Armijo to 30 days in a juvenile detention center plus supervised probation after he pleaded guilty to charges of second-degree murder. Jaramillo could have given Armijo a maximum sentence of four years in juvenile detention for fatally shooting Larry DeSantiago on March 1, 2018. Armijo was 15 at the time of the crime. His probation also included the requirement to speak at schools about his experience. Because the maximum allowable sentence was four years in detention, Jaramillo told Armijo at sentencing, "I would rather have you four years in treatment so that when you are an adult you can be an asset to this community rather than a drag on this community."[5]
