Acting APD Chief Allen Banks, who was there at the scene that day, disagrees.
“I stand behind the investigation of the Albuquerque Police Department,” Banks said. “I also stand behind the investigation of the state office of the medical investigator. I'm kind of surprised and perplexed at the way the Attorney General sent out a news release and has not contacted the Albuquerque Police Department.”
