Alvarez (john) v. State

Summary

The Nevada Supreme Court held that John Paul Alvarez’s grand larceny conviction violated the Double Jeopardy Clause because he had already been convicted of possession of stolen property arising from the same act, and therefore reversed that conviction. The Court affirmed the district court’s denial of Alvarez’s motion to suppress evidence and his claim of prosecutorial misconduct, and remanded for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
