Well folks, what a great short week it’s been! Hopefully most of you are already on the way to Grandma’s house, but for those of you still at work, here are a couple of items to discuss. We’ll be back on Monday. Have a safe and happy Thanksgiving!
- Judge Linda Bell finally (read: some 6 months later) ruled that OJ Simpson will not get a new trial. His legal team at Pitaro & Fumo and Palm Law Firm vow to continue the fight. [RJ; Las Vegas Sun]
- Last week, we mentioned that some 2,900 people took advantage of Southern Nevada Project Homeless Connect. Looks like some people really took advantage of it and turned it into amnesty day. (Did no one really see that coming?) [8NewsNow]
- Apparently, it can be quite difficult to get a speedy trial in Las Vegas. Do the judges grant too many continuances? [8NewsNow]
- What do you think? Should Nevada be on the hook to pay for an inmate’s genetic health condition when if she were on parole she would have private health insurance that would cover it? [RJ]
- Clark County will be paying $38 million to a land-owning partnership for air rights and building height restrictions near the airport. Congrats to Robert Eisenberg who was at the helm for the win–but he and his clients still have to deal with prior counsel’s claim to $14 million of that sum. [RJ]
- Politician and lawyer Tick Segerblom has nobly offered to run against Brian Sandoval in next year’s gubernatorial election “if no one else ran and people wanted me to run.” [Las Vegas Sun]
- The Supreme Court of Nevada is set to release seven opinions today, including a follow up on Carrigan v. Commission on Ethics which already made one detour to the US Supreme Court.
If Nevada is stupid enough to place people on the board of pardons who are not smart enough to get rid of inmates like that, then Nevada absolutely deserves to pay for that inmate's medical expenses.
