A man accused of killing five people, including two Albuquerque police officers, in a single day two years ago has been committed to a state mental institution for 179 years.
State District Judge Pat Murdoch made his decision Tuesday after hearing nearly two days of testimony in a hearing that was meant to determine whether John Hyde remained a danger and whether there was enough evidence to convict him of the August 2005 crimes.
The ruling means Hyde will remain at the New Mexico Behavioral Health Institute in Las Vegas, where he has remained since shortly after the shootings.
