A New Mexico district attorney who authorities say is suspected of violating state law and reimbursing burglary victims to protect her son says she did nothing wrong.
Bernalillo County's District Attorney Kari Brandenburg told reporters Monday that she never broke any laws but declined to say if she offered burglary victims any money.
According to police documents, Brandenburg allegedly contacted victims in two burglaries and a larceny case involving her son, 26-year-old Justin Koch.
The Albuquerque Journal reported that police believe there is probable cause to file felony charges against her.
Brandenburg says she's never deviated from acting ethically and morally while in office.
For months, Brandenburg has been under scrutiny for failing to prosecute any officers linked to a string of Albuquerque police shootings since 2010.
