Nevada Supreme Court

Garcia (Ubaldo) v. State

November 16, 2022

Summary

The Nevada Supreme Court affirmed the amended judgment vacating the redundant lewdness convictions and concurrent sentences without ordering a new sentencing hearing. It held that the district court acted within its sentencing discretion because the record did not show reliance on improper arguments or highly suspect evidence, and the consecutive sentences appeared to reflect the existence of two victims. The court also held that the challenge to the denial of a new sentencing hearing was cognizable in the appeal from the amended final judgment.
