State of Red or Green was created to honor victims, center families, and help the public better understand how homicide cases unfold — not just in what happened, but in how they ultimately ended. This series focuses on closed homicide cases in New Mexico, with care and intention, much like how green chili is an integral part of our culture here. We’re listening to families who are willing to share: • The facts of their loved one’s case • The final court outcome • How the sentence impacted their family • What it’s been like to learn that similar cases can receive very different sentences. We’ve heard from many families who were left with questions — not about guilt or innocence, but about why outcomes vary so widely, and how those decisions shape healing, trust, and grief long after a case is closed. This New Mexico podcast is not about blame, debate, or reopening the past. It’s about reflection, understanding, and honoring lives that mattered — while gently shedding light on the broader system families must navigate. Participation is always voluntary and guided by you. Your boundaries are respected. Nothing is shared without consent. If your family feels ready to share your loved one’s story, we invite you to learn more through our confidential submission process, which is part of our true crime podcast initiative.
