Hearing set in appeal of sentence for teen who killed 5

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — The New Mexico Court of Appeals is set to hear arguments in the case of a man who pleaded guilty to shooting and killing five family members when he was a teenager. The oral arguments scheduled for Wednesday in Albuquerque come nearly two years after a state children's court judge decided Nehemiah Griego had been receptive to psychological treatment while in state custody and could be sentenced as a juvenile. That decision cleared the way for Griego's release on his 21st birthday in March. Griego was 15 when authorities say he killed his parents and three younger siblings at the family's home south of Albuquerque. Attorney General Hector Balderas' appeal of that decision asks that the case be sent back to Children's Court for more hearings.
