Nevada Supreme Court, 2000

The court reversed Runion's convictions for first-degree murder and attempted murder because the jury was not properly instructed on apparent danger as a self-defense theory and the prosecutor improperly used the excluded corroborating testimony to attack Runion's credibility.

The Nevada Supreme Court denied GNLV’s motion to dismiss the appeal, holding that an order granting summary judgment is a final, appealable judgment when it resolves all issues and all parties, regardless of whether it is labeled an order or a judgment.

The court affirmed Byford’s first-degree murder conviction and death sentence, rejecting his challenges to the admission of prior testimony and other evidence, the joint trial, the jury instructions, and the sentencing proceedings.
