Description
Norush was convicted of escape from the penitentiary; Trujillo was convicted of escape and conspiracy to escape from the penitentiary. Section 30-22-9, N.M.S.A. 1978, and § 30-28-2, N.M.S.A. 1978 (Supp. 1981). The convictions occurred at separate trials; separate appeals were taken. A common issue disposes of both appeals. That issue involves changes in the defense of duress between the time of the offense and the time of trial. We discuss: 1) the "ex post facto" prohibition, and 2) the State's arguments seeking to avoid a decision of the "ex post facto" issue.
