Rhoads v. Sheriff

Supreme Court of Nevada
Apr 26, 1973
509 P.2d 287 (Nev. 1973)

Opinion

No. 7152

April 26, 1973

Appeal from an order denying pre-trial writ of habeas corpus, Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; James D. Santini, Judge.

James L. Buchanan II, of Las Vegas, for Appellant.

Robert List, Attorney General, Carson City, Roy A. Woofter, District Attorney, and Charles L. Garner, Deputy District Attorney, Clark County, for Respondent.


OPINION


Appellant, charged with first degree arson, a felony under NRS 205.010, contends the trial court erred in failing to grant habeas because there was insufficient evidence adduced at the preliminary hearing to establish probable cause. The record before us reflects that the state met its burden of showing probable cause that the offense was committed and that appellant committed it. NRS 171.206. See O'Briant v. State, 72 Nev. 100, 295 P.2d 396 (1956).

Affirmed.
