1 IN THE COURT OF APPEALS OF THE STATE OF NEW MEXICO 2 Opinion Number: _______________ 3 Filing Date: May 25, 2016 4 NO. 34,303 5 STATE OF NEW MEXICO, 6 Plaintiff-Appellee, 7 v. 8 JAMES JOSEPH RAMIREZ, 9 Defendant-Appellant. 10 APPEAL FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF OTERO COUNTY 11 Jerry H. Ritter, Jr., District Judge 12 13 14 15 Hector H. Balderas, Attorney General Santa Fe, NM Jane A. Bernstein, Assistant Attorney General Albuquerque, NM 16 for Appellee 17 Bennett J. Baur, Chief Public Defender 18 J.K. Theodosia Johnson, Assistant Appellate Defender 19 Santa Fe, NM 20 for Appellant 1 OPINION 2 VANZI, Judge. 3 {1} A jury found Defendant James Joseph Ramirez guilty of several crimes arising 4 from a home invasion where a child victim was home alone. Defendant asserts on 5 appeal that (1) multiple punishments violate his right to be free from double jeopardy, 6 (2) there was insufficient evidence to support his conviction for child endangerment, 7 and (3) the restraint used to convict him of kidnapping was incidental to the 8 commission of another crime. We affirm in all respects. 9 BACKGROUND 10 {2} The facts are not in dispute. Victim was a child—fifteen at the time of the 11 incident—who was home alone one night while his older brothers worked and his 12 parents attended a Christmas party. He heard a knock at the door and answered to find 13 a man wearing a hooded sweatshirt with the hood pulled low over his eyes. The 14 identity of the hooded man would later be the only real concern at trial, but for our 15 purposes on appeal, it is uncontested that he was Defendant. 16 {3} Defendant asked if Victim’s parents were home. Victim, who was naturally 17 suspicious, lied and responded that they were. Defendant then attempted to force his 18 way inside, and the Victim attempted to block the doorway until Defendant pulled a 19 revolver from his waist, prompting Victim to retreat into the house. 1 {4} Victim ran to the living room, realized his mother had blocked the back door 2 with laundry, so he stopped and got on his knees. Defendant, who had followed 3 Victim inside, picked him up by his shirt and pointed the gun up and down his body. 4 He ordered Victim to lock the door and then asked if “Alyssa” was home. Victim 5 responded that he did not know anyone by that name. Defendant then followed 6 Victim from room to room, forcing him at gunpoint to open each door so Defendant 7 could look inside. Having apparently concluded that there was, in fact, no “Alyssa” 8 at the residence, Defendant remarked, “shit, wrong house,” and left. 9 DISCUSSION 10 Sufficiency of the Evidence 11 {5} This is a double jeopardy case at its core, but we will begin by disposing of two 12 cursory arguments that (1) there is insufficient evidence of child endangerment 13 because the State did not prove Defendant knew Victim was a child, and (2) the 14 restraint used to kidnap Victim was incidental to Defendant’s conviction for child 15 endangerment. When the sufficiency of the evidence is challenged, “we must view 16 the evidence in the light most favorable to the conviction.” State v. Wade, 198317 NMCA-084, ¶ 11, 100 N.M. 152, 667 P.2d 459. 18 {6} To be convicted of child endangerment under NMSA 1978, Section 30-6- 19 1(D)(1) (2009), a defendant must act “with reckless disregard in relation to the safety 2 1 or health of [a child] specifically.” State v. Gonzales, 2011-NMCA-081, ¶ 25, 150 2 N.M. 494, 263 P.3d 271. The standard is not entirely clear; but even assuming—for 3 the purposes of this argument—that the State was required to prove that Defendant 4 was subjectively aware that Victim was a child, the evidence is still sufficient to 5 support the conviction. 6 {7} Victim was fifteen years old when Defendant knocked at his door and 7 seventeen when he testified before the jury. He testified that Defendant’s immediate 8 question when the two met face-to-face was “are your parents home?” That alone is 9 sufficient evidence for the jury to infer Defendant’s awareness that the person he 10 would later hold at gunpoint was a child. See State v. Graham, 2005-NMSC-004, 11 ¶ 13, 137 N.M. 197, 109 P.3d 285 (stating that the appellate courts “view the 12 evidence as a whole and indulge all reasonable inferences in favor of the jury’s 13 verdict”); State v. Montoya, 1966-NMSC-224, ¶ 10, 77 N.M. 129, 419 P.2d 970 14 (“Knowledge, like intent, is personal in its nature and may not be susceptible of proof 15 by direct evidence. It may, however, be inferred from occurrences and 16 circumstances.”). 17 {8} Defendant next admits—somewhat paradoxically—that he committed child 18 endangerment but asserts that we must vacate his conviction for kidnapping because 19 the Legislature did not intend kidnapping to be predicated on restraint incidental to 3 1 the offense he committed. Defendant characterizes this as an issue of statutory 2 interpretation, for which our review is de novo. See State v. Trujillo, 2012-NMCA3 112, ¶ 7, 289 P.3d 238 (“Whether the Legislature intended restraint during an 4 aggravated battery to be charged as kidnapping is a question of statutory 5 interpretation.”), cert. quashed, 2015-NMCERT-003, 346 P.3d 1163. But even 6 assuming that Defendant’s interpretation of the statutes at issue is correct and that the 7 limitations on kidnapping in Trujillo (which was an aggravated battery case) similarly 8 apply in a child abuse case, the testimony, as a matter of fact, does not support the 9 notion that Victim’s restraint was incidental to child endangerment. See id. ¶ 6 10 (viewing the facts “in the light most favorable to the conviction”); see also State v. 11 Sotelo, 2013-NMCA-028, ¶¶ 29-30, 296 P.3d 1232 (applying a sufficiency of the 12 evidence standard to the question of whether restraint is incidental to a separate 13 crime). 14 {9} In Trujillo, we held that the restraint needed to effect a minutes-long 15 battery—“a momentary grab in the middle of a fight”—was not conduct that was 16 contemplated by the kidnapping statute because it was “merely incidental” to the 17 battery. 2012-NMCA-112, ¶¶ 6, 8. In Trujillo, we identified three tests employed in 18 other jurisdictions to determine whether restraint is incidental to another offense but 19 ultimately concluded that “the overarching question . . . is whether the restraint or 4 1 movement increases the culpability of the defendant over and above his culpability 2 for the other crime.” Id. ¶ 6. 3 {10} Victim testified that he ran to the living room and stopped and got on his knees 4 before Defendant entered, and that Defendant picked him up by his shirt and pointed 5 the gun up and down his body. The State argued to the jury that this particular 6 conduct was the basis for the child endangerment charge. Defendant then, according 7 to Victim’s testimony, ordered Victim to lock the door and forced him at gunpoint to 8 assist in a futile room-to-room search for an individual not present in the home. This 9 search, “with [the] gun pressed to the back of [Victim’s] head,” was the factual basis 10 in the State’s closing argument for the kidnapping charge. 11 {11} We conclude that the prolonged search for “Alyssa,” in which Victim was held 12 to service to open each door in the home, turn on each light, and allow Defendant to 13 explore each empty room, increased Defendant’s culpability over and above his 14 culpability in endangering Victim by pointing the gun at him in the first instance. 15 Thus, the restraint in this case is not incidental to child endangerment under the 16 standards enunciated in Trujillo. We affirm Defendant’s conviction for kidnapping. 17 Double Jeopardy 18 {12} Defendant argues that his convictions for aggravated burglary and aggravated 19 assault (both with a deadly weapon) are subsumed into his conviction for child 5 1 endangerment. In the event his other arguments are unsuccessful, Defendant argues 2 that burglary was improperly aggravated because the same firearm was used to 3 support his conviction for aggravated assault. These contentions all invoke 4 constitutional protections against double jeopardy. 5 {13} The right to be free from double jeopardy protects against both successive 6 prosecutions and multiple punishments for the same offense. Swafford v. State, 19917 NMSC-043, ¶ 6, 112 N.M. 3, 810 P.2d 1223. There are two types of multiple 8 punishment cases: (1) unit of prosecution cases, in which an individual is convicted 9 of multiple violations of the same criminal statute; and (2) double-description cases, 10 in which a single act results in multiple convictions under different statutes. Id. ¶¶ 811 9. Defendant’s arguments, involving separate statutes, raise only double-description 12 concerns. 13 {14} Our courts apply a two-step inquiry to double-description claims. Id. ¶ 25. 14 First, we analyze the factual question, “whether the conduct underlying the offenses 15 is unitary, i.e., whether the same conduct violates both statutes[,]” and if so, we 16 consider the legal question, “whether the [L]egislature intended to create separately 17 punishable offenses.” Id. “If it reasonably can be said that the conduct is unitary, then 18 [the appellate courts] must move to the second part of the inquiry. Otherwise, if the 19 conduct is separate and distinct, [the] inquiry is at an end.” Id. ¶ 28. 6 1 A. Aggravated Burglary and Child Endangerment 2 Defendant first argues that he cannot be punished for both aggravated burglary {15} 3 (with a deadly weapon) and child endangerment. That argument fails the unitary 4 conduct portion of the analysis. “[W]e will find that conduct is not unitary when the 5 illegal acts are separated by sufficient indicia of distinctness.” State v. Mora, 20036 NMCA-072, ¶ 18, 133 N.M. 746, 69 P.3d 256 (internal quotation marks and citation 7 omitted). Relevant considerations include the quality and nature of the individual 8 acts, their objectives and results, and their separation in time or physical distance. 9 Id. As a general rule, conduct is not unitary when there is “an identifiable point at 10 which one of the charged crimes ha[s] been completed and the other not yet 11 committed.” State v. DeGraff, 2006-NMSC-011, ¶ 27, 139 N.M. 211, 131 P.3d 61. 12 {16} The jury was instructed to convict Defendant of aggravated burglary if it found 13 that he “entered a dwelling without authorization” and “with the intent to commit an 14 aggravated assault once inside” while “armed with a handgun.” The offense of 15 burglary is complete upon unauthorized entry with the requisite intent. State v. Office 16 of Pub. Def. ex rel. Muqqddin, 2012-NMSC-029, ¶ 41, 285 P.3d 622. “Accordingly, 17 the crime of aggravated burglary was completed as soon as Defendant, with the 18 requisite intent, gained entry to Victim’s [home] while armed with a [handgun].” 19 State v. Montoya, 2011-NMCA-074, ¶ 34, 150 N.M. 415, 259 P.3d 820. 7 1 {17} The State’s theory for child endangerment, evident in its closing argument, was 2 that Defendant “forc[ed his] way into a child’s home” and “plac[ed] a gun to [his] 3 head, showing . . . active disregard for that child’s health.” Because the crime of 4 aggravated burglary was complete upon entry and before Defendant endangered 5 Victim by pointing the gun to his head, the conduct is not unitary, and multiple 6 punishments are authorized. See, e.g., State v. Bernal, 2006-NMSC-050, ¶ 11, 140 7 N.M. 644, 146 P.3d 289; DeGraff, 2006-NMSC-011, ¶ 27; see also Swafford, 19918 NMSC-043, ¶ 28 (“[I]f the conduct is separate and distinct, [the] inquiry is at an 9 end.”). 10 B. Aggravated Assault and Child Endangerment 11 Defendant next argues that his conviction for aggravated assault is subsumed {18} 12 into his child endangerment conviction. Since the parties do not dispute that the 13 conduct underlying these offenses is unitary, we limit our analysis to legislative 14 intent. “Determinations of legislative intent, like double jeopardy, present issues of 15 law that are reviewed de novo, with the ultimate goal of such review to be facilitating 16 and promoting the [L]egislature’s accomplishment of its purpose.” State v. Montoya, 17 2013-NMSC-020, ¶ 29, 306 P.3d 426 (alterations, internal quotation marks, and 18 citation omitted). When, as here, the statutes themselves do not expressly provide for 19 multiple punishments, we begin by applying the rule of statutory construction from 8 1 Blockburger v. United States, 284 U.S. 299 (1932), to ensure that each provision 2 requires proof of a fact that the other does not. Swafford, 1991-NMSC-043, ¶¶ 10, 30. 3 When applying Blockburger to statutes that are vague and unspecific or written with 4 many alternatives, we look to the charging documents and jury instructions to identify 5 the specific criminal causes of action for which the defendant was convicted. State 6 v. Gutierrez, 2011-NMSC-024, ¶¶ 53, 58, 150 N.M. 232, 258 P.3d 1024. 7 {19} Aggravated assault is committed when one “assault[s] . . . another with a 8 deadly weapon[.]” NMSA 1978, § 30-3-2(A) (1963). Assault, as charged in this case, 9 is defined in NMSA 1978, Section 30-3-1(B) (1963), as “any unlawful act, threat or 10 menacing conduct which causes another person to reasonably believe that he is in 11 danger of receiving an immediate battery[.]” The specific menacing conduct charged 12 in the jury instruction was that Defendant “pointed a gun at [Victim.]” 13 {20} Section 30-6-1(D)(1) makes it a crime to recklessly cause or permit a child to 14 be “placed in a situation that may endanger the child’s life or health[.]” State v. 15 Consaul, 2014-NMSC-030, ¶¶ 29, 37-38, 332 P.3d 850. Neither the indictment nor 16 the jury instructions shed any light on the State’s trial theory for the child 17 endangerment charge, but in its closing argument, the State made it clear that Victim 18 was endangered by the gun: “We know what firearms do,” the State told the jury. “We 9 1 know what they’re intended to do. They’re intended to wound and kill. Clearly, this 2 places [Victim] in danger of that.” 3 {21} Defendant contends that since the State’s theory was that child endangerment 4 and aggravated assault were both committed when Defendant pointed a gun at 5 Victim, he is twice being punished for “one act of threatening a child in violation of 6 double jeopardy” according to the modified Blockburger analysis that our Supreme 7 Court adopted in Gutierrez, 2011-NMSC-024, ¶¶ 58-59. Gutierrez all but overruled 8 State v. McGruder, 1997-NMSC-023, 123 N.M. 302, 940 P.2d 150, abrogated on 9 other grounds by State v. Chavez, 2009-NMSC-035, ¶ 16, 146 N.M. 434, 211 P.3d 10 891, to hold that the only essential element of an offense prohibiting the unlawful 11 taking of a motor vehicle was logically subsumed within the “anything of value” 12 element of the robbery statute because the jury in that case was charged to find that 13 the taking of a 1996 Oldsmobile satisfied both offenses. Gutierrez, 2011-NMSC-024, 14 ¶¶ 53, 58-59. Specifically, the Court refused to apply Blockburger to the statutes in 15 the abstract, opting instead to look to the jury instructions to identify the case-specific 16 meaning of robbery’s generic statutory term, “anything of value.” Gutierrez, 201117 NMSC-024, ¶ 59. Because the jury instruction for robbery in Gutierrez expressly 18 required proof that a 1996 Oldsmobile was taken, the unlawful taking of a motor 10 1 vehicle was a lesser included offense of robbery and punishment could not be had for 2 both the greater and lesser offense. Id. ¶¶ 58-60. 3 {22} We do not believe that Gutierrez stands for a return to the fact-based, ad hoc 4 double jeopardy adjudications that were rejected in Swafford. See Gutierrez, 20115 NMSC-024, ¶ 78 (Bosson, J., specially concurring) (cautioning against looking 6 beyond the indictment and jury instructions in a Blockburger analysis). Nor do we 7 consider it an invitation to carelessly overturn convictions for offenses that involve 8 some overlapping conduct or share a single element. See State v. Swick, 2012-NMSC9 018, ¶ 21, 279 P.3d 747 (stating that we “evaluate legislative intent by considering 10 the [s]tate’s legal theory independent of the particular facts of the case”). The 11 modified Blockburger approach is nothing more than a test to determine whether the 12 state’s theory for one crime, as charged to the jury, is logically subsumed (i.e., a lesser 13 included offense) within the state’s theory for a separate crime. Gutierrez, 201114 NMSC-024, ¶¶ 58-60. To say, as Defendant does, that he is being twice punished for 15 the same act of pointing a gun at Victim is to merely restate the test for unitary 16 conduct, which has already been established before any analysis of the statutes under 17 Blockburger can begin. See Swafford, 1991-NMSC-043, ¶ 25. 18 {23} Although the act of pointing the gun at Victim is a shared element of both 19 offenses as charged, it does not follow that one offense is subsumed within the other. 11 1 Assault, under Section 30-3-1(B), which requires only general criminal intent, can 2 always be committed whether or not one acts with the reckless disregard required to 3 commit child endangerment. See State v. Manus, 1979-NMSC-035, ¶¶ 12, 14, 93 4 N.M. 95, 597 P.2d 280 (stating that “general criminal intent is required to support a 5 conviction for aggravated assault”), overruled on other grounds by Sells v. State, 6 1982-NMSC-125, ¶¶ 9-10, 98 N.M. 786, 653 P.2d 162. And one can always offend 7 Section 30-6-1(D)(1) without causing reasonable apprehension of an immediate 8 battery. Thus, the jury in this case could have concluded that Defendant did not act 9 recklessly and yet still convicted him of aggravated assault; or the jury could have 10 found that Victim’s fear was not reasonable and still convicted Defendant of child 11 endangerment. Because, unlike the situation in Gutierrez, it was possible to convict 12 Defendant of either offense without convicting him of the other, neither offense, as 13 a matter of law and a matter of logic, is a lesser offense subsumed within the other, 14 and the modified Blockburger test will not foreclose multiple punishments. 15 {24} When two statutes survive Blockburger, we examine “other indicia of 16 legislative intent.” Swafford, 1991-NMSC-043, ¶ 31. We look to “the language, 17 history, and subject of the statutes, and [the appellate courts] must identify the 18 particular evil sought to be addressed by each offense.” Montoya, 2013-NMSC-020, 19 ¶ 32 (internal quotation marks and citation omitted). 12 1 2 3 4 5 6 Statutes directed toward protecting different social norms and achieving different policies can be viewed as separate and amenable to multiple punishments. . . . If several statutes are not only usually violated together, but also seem designed to protect the same social interest, the inference becomes strong that the function of the multiple statutes is only to allow alternative means of prosecution. 7 Swafford, 1991-NMSC-043, ¶ 32. 8 {25} We begin with the observation that children are often placed in danger by 9 conduct that also happens to violate a separate criminal statute. See, e.g., Graham, 10 2005-NMSC-004, ¶ 12 (involving the possession of marijuana, accessible to a child); 11 State v. Orquiz, 2012-NMCA-080, ¶ 1, 284 P.3d 418 (involving driving while 12 intoxicated with a child in the vehicle); State v. Clemonts, 2006-NMCA-031, ¶¶ 1113 12, 139 N.M. 147, 130 P.3d 208 (involving the commission of various traffic offenses 14 with a child in the vehicle). Violation of a separate statute is actually a factor that we 15 consider in determining whether the gravity and likelihood of potential harm is 16 sufficient to support a conviction for child endangerment. Chavez, 2009-NMSC-035, 17 ¶ 25 (“[S]uch legislative declaration of harm may be useful, though not dispositive, 18 to an endangerment analysis when the Legislature has defined the act as a threat to 19 public health, safety, and welfare.”). 20 {26} The defendant in Graham was convicted of child endangerment based on the 21 possession of illegal drugs when police found crack cocaine in the defendant’s home 22 and a marijuana bud in a child’s crib in the master bedroom. 2005-NMSC-004, ¶ 2; 13 1 see id. ¶ 32 (Bosson, J., dissenting). The Legislature’s designation of marijuana as a 2 Schedule I controlled substance was critical in upholding the endangerment 3 conviction. Id. ¶ 12. Similarly, the defendant in Orquiz was “properly convicted” of 4 both driving while intoxicated and child endangerment “based upon the presence of 5 a child in the moving vehicle that [the d]efendant drove.” 2012-NMCA-080, ¶¶ 1, 116 12 (relying on a line of prior driving while intoxicated/child abuse cases). In Orquiz, 7 we implicitly recognized that two interests were being infringed by the defendant’s 8 conduct: “[N]ot only [did] the intoxicated driver threaten the safety of the general 9 public, but the driver also pose[d] an immediate, substantial, and foreseeable threat 10 to a specific member of the general public[,] . . . a child.” Id. ¶ 15. 11 {27} There is a common sense principle supporting multiple punishments under 12 these circumstances. Society recognizes that those who endanger children in the 13 process of committing certain crimes are simply more culpable than those who 14 commit the same crimes without putting a child at risk. The Legislature has expressed 15 this interest by providing for expanded protection of children in Section 30-6-1(D)(1) 16 and throughout the Criminal Code. For example, the crime of child abuse resulting 17 in death is a first degree felony, Section 30-6-1(F), authorizing a basic sentence of life 18 imprisonment, see NMSA 1978, § 31-18-15(A)(1) (2007, amended 2016), while the 19 crime of causing death to an adult with a similar mental state is a fourth degree 14 1 felony, NMSA 1978, § 30-2-3(B) (1994) (involuntary manslaughter), providing for 2 a penalty of only eighteen months imprisonment, see § 31-18-15(A)(10). And child 3 endangerment (not resulting in death) is a third degree felony, see § 30-6-1(D)(1), 4 (E), subject to a penalty of three years imprisonment, see § 31-18-15(A)(9), while 5 there is no comparable crime for endangering an adult. By enacting these offenses 6 and establishing enhanced penalties for their commission, the Legislature has 7 expressed a “compelling public interest in protecting defenseless children.” Graham, 8 2005-NMSC-004, ¶ 9 (internal quotation marks and citation omitted). This is all to 9 say that the social evil addressed by the child endangerment statute is the inchoate but 10 “truly significant risk of serious harm to children[,]” Chavez, 2009-NMSC-035, ¶ 22, 11 which is an interest that has sometimes justified a greater degree of punishment than 12 that imposed for identical criminal conduct that does not create such a risk. See, e.g., 13 Graham, 2005-NMSC-004, ¶ 12; Orquiz, 2012-NMCA-080, ¶ 1. 14 {28} On the other hand, “[t]he aggravated assault statute is aimed at deterring 15 aggression against other people in which the use of deadly weapons is involved.” 16 State v. Rodriguez, 1992-NMCA-035, ¶ 17, 113 N.M. 767, 833 P.2d 244. The 17 aggression specifically criminalized in Section 30-3-1(B) is conduct that causes 18 mental harm to the victim—i.e., puts the victim in fear, even when that fear is not 19 accompanied by actual physical harm, see State v. Roper, 2001-NMCA-093, ¶ 12, 131 15 1 N.M. 189, 34 P.3d 133, or even any risk of physical harm. See § 30-3-1(B) (requiring 2 only a reasonable belief that a battery is imminent). 3 {29} We conclude that there is little overlap between the social policies addressed 4 by the child abuse and assault statutes. See Swafford, 1991-NMSC-043, ¶ 32 5 (“Statutes directed toward protecting different social norms and achieving different 6 policies can be viewed as separate and amenable to multiple punishments.”). We also 7 conclude that the two statutes are not ordinarily violated together. See Swick, 20128 NMSC-018, ¶ 13 (“Legislative intent may be gleaned [by] . . . determining whether 9 the statutes are usually violated together[.]” (internal quotation marks and citation 10 omitted)). Reasonable fear can be imposed by threat to a child victim when there is 11 no risk of actual, physical harm to a child. And the life and health of that child can be 12 recklessly put at substantial risk whether or not the defendant makes a fear-inducing 13 threat. But in unusual cases where a defendant acts in a manner that infringes on both 14 of those social interests, multiple punishments for aggravated assault and child 15 endangerment do not violate the right to be free from double jeopardy. 16 {30} This case is a good example of the policies at issue. This was a life-threatening 17 and harrowing experience for Victim—a child. He testified that he thought he was 18 going to be shot from the moment he saw the gun. His mother later found him at the 19 neighbors’ house, crying and scared, and the family ultimately moved out of their 16 1 home because they no longer felt comfortable there. Because the law separately 2 punishes the distinct evils evident here, we affirm Defendant’s convictions for both 3 offenses. 4 C. Aggravated Burglary and Aggravated Assault 5 Defendant’s final argument is that the same firearm was used to aggravate both {31} 6 burglary and assault, thereby offending principles of double jeopardy. This argument 7 is unpersuasive for a number of reasons, the most obvious being that we have already 8 held that the aggravated burglary was complete before the gun was pointed at Victim 9 in the living room, which was the basis for the child endangerment and aggravated 10 assault convictions. Therefore, the conduct underlying the two offenses is not unitary, 11 Bernal, 2006-NMSC-050, ¶ 11; DeGraff, 2006-NMSC-011, ¶ 27, and our double 12 jeopardy inquiry “is at an end.” Swafford, 1991-NMSC-043, ¶ 28. 13 CONCLUSION 14 {32} Defendant’s convictions are affirmed. 15 {33} IT IS SO ORDERED. 16 17 _______________________________ LINDA M.
