Felony categories A through E, bail and pretrial release, the preliminary examination and grand jury, the PSI, sentencing and post-conviction petitions.
ABOUT THIS BOOK
An arrest in Nevada starts a process with its own courts, deadlines and vocabulary. The Nevada Criminal Law Guide explains that process in the order it usually unfolds, for the accused person and for the family members and supporters standing beside them.
The guide explains how Nevada classifies crimes into misdemeanors, gross misdemeanors and felonies under NRS § 193.120, and how felonies are divided into categories A through E under NRS § 193.130. It covers the general right to bail under NRS § 178.484, the 12-hour hold after a domestic violence battery arrest, the statutory bail amounts of $3,000 to $15,000 in those cases, and the non-monetary release conditions a court may impose.
Later chapters walk through the first appearance, the preliminary examination in Justice Court, grand jury indictments, the move to District Court, plea negotiations and trial. The guide also explains the presentence investigation report prepared by the Division of Parole and Probation, habitual criminal enhancements under NRS § 207.010, probation and parole, post-conviction petitions and record sealing.
• Separate step-by-step walkthroughs for the accused person and for family members
• A deadlines-at-a-glance table and a decision checklist
• A glossary, comparison tables and questions to ask an attorney
