Happy Nevada Day, Observed! Hopefully some of you are taking it a little bit easier today with state courts closed and school kids running amuck. For those of you stuck at work, here are a few items:
- Judge Valerie Adair sentenced 63-year old Dr. Dipak Desai to life in prison with the possibility of parole in 18 years. Co-defendant and nurse anesthetist Ronald Lakeman got 8-21 years. [RJ]
- US District Judge James Mahan sentenced suspended lawyer Stanley Walton to 41 months in prison for his role in a mortgage fraud scheme. [RJ]
- Clark County Prosecutor Teresa Lowry has decided to run for the state senate seat currently held by attorney Michael Roberson. [Ralston Reports]
- As one of our commenters noted yesterday, Lisa Willardson, the attorney behind Nevada Judicial Watch, has announced that she will be trying to unseat Judge Jennifer Elliot over in the Family Court. As you will recall, there was some controversy about Willardson being behind Nevada Judicial Watch, but a quick trip to her Facebook page (you have to be logged in to see all the good stuff) confirms that she is its owner/editor. (There is also a nice picture of her and Judge Steven Jones). By poking around, you can also discover that Roger Giuliani and Romeo Perez will also be judicial candidates for the Family Court.
So we're getting people throwing their hat in for family court and running for state office, but who is going all in for civil/criminal division?
Romeo Perez?? oy…
