Ms. Caroline was hit by a drunk driver, William Urick, on February 28, 2022. I'm a private investigator, and I have been trying to seek justice since the accident. Ms. Marz is 78 years old, has been in ER twice, in physical therapy for her back and neck, and has an injured eye. This man was very drunk and needed to be prosecuted before he killed someone. He has shortened her life and caused her pain every day. She is still seeking medical treatment for her neck and back.
The DA has ignored me, and now I found out by searching New Mexico criminal records that they did file a case against him for "Great Bodily Harm by Vehicle (Driving While Under Influence of Intoxicating Liquor" on October 13, 2022, without notifying Ms. Marz. I have contacted the DA since the accident, only to be ignored, and they have yet to tell us they filed charges. Two cases were filed against him, and both were dismissed without them notifying the victim, even though we reached out to them continually for over a year. We had to find out by searching the records on February 14, 2023. I would like to know who William Urick knows to get his cases dismissed.
The Mayor, Ken Miyagishima, told me he would investigate it and let me know what was happening. MADD ignored me, NM State District Attorney Hector Banderas wouldn’t help, and the Governor told me she would look into it, and she never did. She later stated she had no authority to overturn any ruling, yet she grants clemency. Senators Ben Ray Lujan and Martin Heinrich ignored us as well. The Las Cruces District Attorney Gerald M. Byers, Judge Joel Cano, and Judge Norman E. Osborne failed to allow Ms. Marz to appear or even notice of hearing. Heather Cosentino Chavez was continually rude and ignored most of my emails. I thought these people were here to defend us, not make us victims.
