SUPREME COURT ISSUES DECISION REGARDING USE OF AFFIDAVITS

The United States Supreme Court has issued a decision holding that prosecutors may not prove elements of a case by way of affidavits. In Melendez-Diaz v. Mass., the Court held that a Defendant's Sixth Amendment rights were violated when a prosecutor used an affidavit from the Massachusetts police force to show the results of whether a substance tested positive for narcotics. The Court held that the Defendant has a right to cross-examine the technician testing the substances and, accordingly, the technician was required to appear at the hearing rather than simply providing an affidavit.

This case is likely to have an impact in Clark County as the Clark County District Attorney often attempts to prove elements of cases by way of affidavit.

LAS VEGAS MARKER PROSECUTIONS ARE ON THE RISE

The Clark County District Attorney's office appears to be filing an increased number of criminal cases for casino marker default. This increase is likely attributed to two factors. First, the slowdown of the national economy has likely led to an increased number of defaults on casino markers. Second, given the slowdown of Nevada's tourism industry, the casinos now appear to be much faster in pulling the proverbial trigger and sending these cases to the District Attorney.

You should contact a Las Vegas marker default attorney immediately if you have been charged for failing to pay your casino marker. It may be possible for you to gain dismissal of your Las Vegas marker default case.

NON-NEVADA RESIDENTS MAY BE EXTRADITED FOR CASINO MARKER DEFAULT

Many individuals charged with casino marker default do not live in Las Vegas. These are individuals who reside in other jurisdictions and frequent Las Vegas on vacation. Many of these people, unfortunately, are often under a misunderstanding that they will not be extradited to Las Vegas if their marker case goes to warrant. Individuals are regularly extradited in these cases to face charges in Las Vegas.

If you have been charged with marker default then you should contact a Las Vegas casino marker attorney immediately.

NEVADA LEGISLATURE AMENDS LAW IN REGARDS TO CHILD KIDNAPPING

Nevada law has changed in regards to child custody in cases where one parent has abducted a child. On May 11th, 2009 the law regarding child custody in Nevada was amended so that it is now presumed that if a parent has abducted a child, such a parent should not have primary custody of the child. Given the frequency with which it is necessary to gain a Nevada Court Order for the return of children, this new legal provision is likely to factor into many custody decisions.

NEVADA SUPREME COURT UPHOLDS MURDER CONVICTION

The Nevada Supreme Court has upheld the murder conviction of Daniel Ramet. In Ramet v. State, Rament contended, among other things, that his conviction should be reversed because the prosecutor commented during trial on Ramet's invoking his Fourth Amendment right to not have his home searched. The Court held that the District Court did err in allowing the prosecutor to comment on this fact. The Court also held, however, that due to the strength of the evidence against Ramet that his conviction would not be reversed.
