Karen Connolly represented the defendant on post-conviction relief after the district court denied his request to withdraw his guilty plea to two counts of first degree murder. On appeal, the Nevada Supreme Court reversed the district court’s ruling. The defendant is now scheduled to proceed to trial.
Negotiated Guilty Plea
The defendant pled guilty to a serious federal drug offense. The government requested that the judge impose a sentence of 108 months in prison as did the United States Department of Parole and Probation. The judge imposed a sentence of 36 months.
