Apgar v. State

Supreme Court of Nevada
Jan 15, 1973
504 P.2d 1076 (Nev. 1973)

Opinion

No. 6769

January 15, 1973

Appeal from judgment of conviction; Seventh Judicial District Court, White Pine County; Roscoe H. Wilkes, Judge.

Gary A. Sheerin, State Public Defender, for Appellant.

Robert List, Attorney General, and Merlyn H. Hoyt, District Attorney, White Pine County, for Respondent.


OPINION


The appellant stands convicted of first degree murder and has appealed. Several substantial errors, not attributable to the prosecutor, appear to have occurred requiring that the conviction be set aside and another trial held. The prosecutor, with commendable candor, has acknowledged before this court that the appellant should be allowed a new trial.

Reversed and remanded for a new trial.
