Our second installment of the goings on in New Mexico's Twitter Universe. This week we have the release of Mary Hawke's autopsy report as well as the promotion of an APD officer who had previously burned off a homeless man's ear by tasering. That man, who feared retribution, was murdered shortly after winning a settlement with the city. Also, Gov. race coverage, HSD and NM PED in hot water and backlash against the Governor's corporately crafted teacher evaluations. If you see a tweet that we should highlight, pass it on or retweet it with the hashtag #NMTwittersphere.
