Mendoza said that it was still too early in the investigation to discuss possible criminal charges.
Carmack-Altwies agreed, saying “I must emphasize that complete and thorough investigation is critical to D.A.
We take the corroborated facts and evidence, and connect it to New Mexico law.
We are not at that juncture yet.
After the sheriff and D.A.
spoke, the floor was opened to questions from gathered reporters.
“All options are on the table at this point,” Carmack-Altwies said.
“I’m not commenting on charges, whether they will be filed or not, or on whom.
We cannot answer that question until we complete a more thorough investigation.
No one has been ruled out at this point.”
Mendoza said that Baldwin has been “cooperative” with the investigation so far.
For his part,Baldwin addressed the tragic incident on social mediaon Friday.
My heart is broken for her husband, their son, and all who knew and loved Halyna.”
