APARICIO (HENRY) VS. STATE
Docket Number: 80072
Las Vegas - 3:30 P.M. - En Banc
This is a petition for review of a court of appeal’s order vacating appellant’s sentence and remanding to the district court for resentencing before a different judge. Appellant challenged his judgment of conviction, based on a guilty plea, for two counts of driving under the influence resulting in death and felony reckless driving.
ISSUES:
Here, we consider whether (1) all of the “victim” impact letters fall under the broader definition of “victim” as set forth in Marsy’s Law, and (2) whether the court of appeals properly concluded that the district court’s error was not harmless.
