This story does not even make sense. High speed chase, woman hits a bunch of cars then flees on foot. Cops arrest her (seems like a good idea), take her to HOSPITAL, trained medical professionals do a blood draw (to find out if she is on drugs or drunk) and decide no other medical assistance is necessary (or requested?). Woman is taken to jail and then dies later in cell? How are the arresting officers responsible?
Your bias is showing: 30 year old is medically cleared and then dies hours later. The investigation resulted in changes of “inhumanity to prisoner, neglect of duty resulting in death and involuntary manslaughter.”
Well I’m confused here, as well. Miller was apparently medically cleared on the 9th. Did something happen in between the time of Millers court appearance on the 10th and the death? Was there some type of incident/ negligence by the arresting officers in that time?
I have no bias other than to assume cops over charge and are too aggressive. I read the story in the link. The story in the link does not say “after leaving the hospital, the cops beat the prisoner up” nor anything of the sort. Nor does it say if the person died from her injuries from the cars she crashed into. Nor does it say if she had any levels of drugs or alcohol.
Right, I am 9:55 and I am saying there are tons of questions here, but, based on what the article says, it would seem tough to link her death to the arresting officers.
Amber would not be my first choice for dogcatcher. But on this one I think Herndon got it right which was the record in front of the Court was pretty clear that Candelaria did exactly what Clark County Elections told her to do which was email her candidacy and have the fees paid is person which is exactly what we did. While I understand the argument that a reading of the statute does not strictly mention email, it does not preclude it. As relevant here, NRS 293.177(1) provides a judicial candidate’s name may not appear on the ballot “unless the person named has filed a declaration of candidacy with the appropriate filing officer and paid the filing fee” not later than 5 p.m. on the second Friday after the first Monday in January. NAC 293.0604 provides three methods for filing a declaration of candidacy:
1. A person may file a declaration of candidacy pursuant to NRS 293.177:
(a) By submitting the notarized filing documents by mail;
(b) In person; or
(c) Virtually using a remote technology system if authorized by the appropriate filing officer.
The appropriate filing officer told Candelaria that emails would qualify for virtual filing as a remote technology system. Did they lie to her? Should she have known that the Assistant Election Commissioner was wrong? The Code appears to give the election office the right to approve the filing. And the evidence is that the office did approve the filing.
Remember Catherine Ramsey, NLV Muni Court Judge who was finally removed from the bench? An example of how just one judge can wreak havoc on the system and cost taxpayers lots of money.

All of you are fueled by speculation. Let’s wait for more facts.
Why? We aren’t jurors. These are just thoughts and opinions.
@12:29
Right, as said, merely speculation.
It wasn’t the arresting officers, it was the ones working at the jail.
My bad. Ok so obviously something happened after her court appearance on the 10th.
The Amber Candelaria case is weird. Why didn’t she follow the rules and declare her candidacy like the other candidates? Why did she do it via email?
Maybe she’s trying to get all the seminal cases on screwing up a judicial candidacy in her name? One more, and it’s a hat trick.
In her defense, how many meetings have we attended that could have just been an email?
The family court bar isn’t sending their best.
Or maybe they are…
Because she was in Texas and decided to file at the last minute.

I’d take a monkey with a dartboard and a magic 8 ball over half of the current bench.
Maybe Amber just isn’t supposed to be a judge.
This feels true but, I believe, she must now run for Nevada Supreme Court and mess that up too only then will the cycle be complete.
I know she screwed up Justice Court and now Family Court. Are there others? Maybe she also needs to screw up LV Mini Court and the COA too.

If you read the statute, this behavior very clearly does not apply. The girl is lying.
