First, and foremost, we offer our thoughts, prayers, and condolences to those affected by the bombing at the Boston Marathon. The tragedy is heartbreaking, but the heroism of the first responders and those who ran toward the blast to help others is heartwarming and a cause for hope.
Here are a few things going on in the news:
- As reported in the RJ, local attorney Marcus Smith of Jackson Lewis LLP was at the marathon cheering on his wife. Luckily, she finished some 20 minutes before the bombing and both were out of harm’s way at the time the explosions occurred.
- As reported in the RJ, Judge Adair ruled that despite recent strokes, Dr. Desai’s trial is going forward next Monday.
- KTVN reports that Metro says there was no crime committed at the home of retired Judge Donald Mosley last weekend when a 19 year old man was shot in the face. I’m no criminal law expert, but how is there no crime when a firearm goes off in city limits and hits someone in the face? Consent?
- The I-Team over at 8NewsNow has been reporting on the (now former) Boulder City Police Chief and the Mormon Mafia. The ex-chief Tom Finn, who was fired on Monday, alleges that the city government is controlled by Mormons who are out to get him. The article quotes noted Mongols’ attorney, Stephen Stubbs, who had a run in with Finn last summer.
- The Supreme Court of Nevada has revised its website slightly and now includes a link for “forthcoming opinions.” The plan is to have it updated every Wednesday so that the appellate lawyers among us can get a sleepless night knowing that an opinion may be issued in their case the following day.
- The Supreme Court of Nevada also released an iOS app mirroring much of the content on its website.
What else is going on out there?
…how is there no crime when a firearm goes off in city limits and hits someone in the face?
Only crime I see is maybe involuntary stupidity.
Darwin Award nomination for both shooter and shootee…
I have nothing to add other than to say thanks for keeping up your blog.
It would be a crime (including charges of child abuse since there were minors in the house) if it happened in West Las Vegas and not in the Scotch Eighties at a retired judge's house.
