ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — A judge just threw out the latest request from an alleged serial killer linked to multiple cold cases in Albuquerque.
Two years ago, investigators say Paul Apodaca confessed to three murders dating back to the late ’80s.
However, his attorney said that confession was no good – claiming that the way officers got it was “unconstitutional.”
On Monday, a judge ruled that the majority of Apodaca’s statements will be used in his trial, which is expected to happen sometime next year.
Today, a judge ruled the majority of statements made by a man suspected of multiple cold case murders — will be allowed at trial.
