Yes, this was a big story here in NM when this was being discussed. I for one didn't really care as the whole notion of criminal justice just strikes me as bad science....but in NM, when the nightly news is really just the daily death toll from domestic abuse, gang warfare, drunken brawls, and drug crimes, this was something different to argue about for awhile.

What people seem to forget about Billy was that he had been a hired gunfighter during the Lincoln County Cattle War of the 1870s, one in which various big-business interests fought with each other over control of what was still very much a virgin landscape. Everybody involved did some form of criminal activity, including murder; but Billy just became the most notorious of the lot.
