SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — A former New Mexico sheriff and one of his deputies will not have to pay $100,000 to an author over documents from an investigation into legendary outlaw Billy the Kid.
Writer Gale Cooper in 2014 was awarded $100,000 and the records she sought relating to the outlaw’s 1881 death.
The Santa Fe New Mexican reports that the state Court of Appeals has now denied Cooper’s appeal that claimed she was owed up to $100 per day she was denied the documents.
Citing the same state Supreme Court ruling, the appellate judge also revoked the damages.
