Albuquerque DWI Sentence: Case Outcomes
The Trujillo court-opinion copy reports an 18-month imposed term with nine months suspended after convictions for fourth-offense DWI and reckless driving. That leaves nine unsuspended months, not a verified record of time actually served. The previously cited Jose Roman report could not be read in this review, so its six-month/four-suspended figures and homicide-acquittal account are retained only as unverified context, not a certified DWI comparison or range.
Evidence scope: One court-opinion copy was actually read; the Roman report returned an access restriction and a focused alternate-source search did not identify a reliable matching disposition. Trujillo’s townhouse is described in Albuquerque, but independent municipal-point and later-docket review remain incomplete. Relevant available passages were read September 28, 2026. Reported sentencing or an appellate affirmance does not establish exhausted appeals. This selected sample is not all Albuquerque cases, an average, a typical result or a prediction.
Observed Outcomes
| Case | Albuquerque offense location | Reported sentence and verification limits | Sentence scope | Sources |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bridget Trujillo | Townhouse parking lot, Albuquerque | 18 months imprisonment, with 9 months suspended; convictions affirmed June 14, 2018. | Reported judgment includes DWI and reckless driving; do not convert the imposed term to time actually served. | Sentencing source · Official record |
| Jose Roman | Central/Louisiana, Albuquerque | Previously stated 6 months imposed / 4 suspended; UNVERIFIED in this review because the cited report was not readable. Not a verified endpoint. | Previously described DWI/reckless-driving outcome and homicide acquittal; source passage not independently readable in this review. Not included as a verified comparable outcome. | Sentencing source |
How to Read These Sentences
An imposed term and its unsuspended portion are different quantities. The available Trujillo opinion copy identifies a fourth DWI and also affirms reckless driving; the official PDF filing header was available, but its visual-page retrieval timed out. Roman’s inaccessible report is not treated as confirmed evidence. This guide does not treat the suspended portion as time spent in custody, and it does not pool these outcomes with vehicular-homicide sentences.
In New Mexico reporting, the imposed sentence, suspended portion, prison time and probation are not interchangeable. The table preserves the distinctions actually supplied by each source instead of assuming that every announced year will be served in prison.
Scope and Limits
These are reported judgments, not a statutory sentencing range. The applicable law, conviction, enhancements and count structure must be checked separately for an individual case. No average sentence is calculated, and an aggregate outcome is never presented as an isolated target-offense sentence.
Offense-location passages, not court or prosecutor addresses alone, support the reported Albuquerque connection. This review has not independently certified every municipal point or later judgment. State and federal outcomes remain separate. An earlier incident report supports location/background, not the later conviction label or sentence.
