Guidry (Ronneka) vs. State
Docket Number: 80156
Carson City - 1:30 PM - J. Silver, J. Cadish, J. Pickering

Ronneka Guidry and the victim met at Caesars Palace.  Guidry gave the victim a ride, and after she dropped him off the victim was missing his watch. The victim ran in front of Guidry’s car to stop her from leaving, then he got on top of the car, hitting the windshield, when Guidry drove forward, causing the victim to fall and hit his head on the road—resulting in his death. Guidry was convicted after a jury trial of second-degree murder, robbery, grand larceny, and duty to stop at scene of crash involving death or personal injury.

ISSUES:

She challenges the court’s instructions on the elements of murder and her theory of defense, and she asserts numerous trial errors, such as prosecutorial misconduct, in addition to the court’s abuse of discretion at sentencing.
