Nevada Supreme Court
Rodriguez (isaac) v. State
July 3, 2024140 Nev. Adv. Op. No. 47
Summary
The Nevada Supreme Court affirmed Rodriguez's convictions, holding that the trial court properly admitted the State's text‑message exhibits, that the prosecution did not engage in misconduct by arguing inferences from gaps in the messages, and that the trial court was not required to give a jury instruction that the exhibits were only a sampling. The Court clarified that Nevada's rule of completeness is a rule of admission, not exclusion, and that prosecutorial argument of reasonable inferences is permissible.
