Feds fight motion to drop gun charges

LAS CRUCES (AP) - Federal prosecutors are urging a federal judge to deny a motion to dismiss charges against members of a Deming family accused in a gun smuggling case.

The Las Cruces Sun-News reports the request on behalf of Rick Reese and Terri Reese and their son Ryin Reese says prosecutors have shown a pattern of ignoring the defendants' constitutional rights to a fair trial.

The judge in the case previously granted the defendants a new trial because the government didn't tell the defense that a prosecution witness had been the subject of an investigation.

A response filed Monday by prosecutors says that dismissal is not called for because the judge already granted the defendants a new trial.  The response also says the government respects the right to fair trials.
