Former New Mexico state police officer Alfred Lovato has been acquitted of vehicular homicide. A Santa Fe judge ordered a directed verdict of acquittal from the jury, ruling the prosecution didn't present enough evidence for the jurors to decide the vehicular homicide charge. But Lovato's trial will continue on the charge of leaving the scene of an accident. The 40-year-old was the passenger in the car of prominent attorney Carlos Fierro back in 2008 when pedestrian William Tenorio was hit and killed near a bar in Santa Fe. Prosecutors accused Lovato of not trying to keep Fierro from getting behind the wheel and driving drunk. Fierro was convicted of vehicular homicide and is currently serving a 7-year sentence.
