SILVER CITY.  September 15, 2025- Sixth Judicial District Attorney Norman Wheeler issued a statement on Giglio matters and law enforcement.

August 22 Giglio Letter

6th DA Attorney Paper

“It is essential that all law enforcement officers uphold the laws they have sworn to enforce and conduct themselves in a way that earns public trust and respect. The Sixth Judicial District Attorney’s Office is committed to ensuring the fair administration of justice and  with our constitutional and ethical obligations. I want to affirm that no law enforcement officers are being targeting for Giglio purposes.

We cannot compromise our integrity of this office—when there is a conflict of interest because we work with all law enforcement. For informational purposes a Giglio case requires prosecutors to disclose to defense counsel any information that may be used to impeach the credibility of a government witness, including law enforcement officers. This may include but not limited to:

• Prior dishonest acts or false statements
• Finding untruthfulness in internal investigations
• Criminal charges or convictions
• Bias, misconduct, or other matters bearing on credibility

We greatly appreciate the professionalism and integrity of all law enforcement officers and their continued commitment to serving our community.”   - DA Norman R. Wheeler
