Causey (Kasie) v. Dist. Ct. (State)

Summary

The Nevada Supreme Court denied Kasie Causey’s petition for a writ of mandamus, holding that the district court properly allowed the State to file an information by affidavit and that child abuse under NRS 200.508 may be charged either as a single continuing offense or as multiple distinct acts, depending on the circumstances. The court also found the justice court’s merger of the counts to be an egregious error, but affirmed the district court’s discretion.
