State of Nevada v. Joey Terral Chadwick
Date: 02-29-2024
Case Number: 86161- COA
Judge: Bita Yeager
Court: Eight District Court, Clark County, Nevada
Plaintiff's Attorney: Clark County, Nevada, District Attorney's Office
Defendant's Attorney: Steve Owens
Description:
Las Vegas, Nevada, criminal defense lawyer represented the Defendant charged with leaving the scene of an accident involving personal injury.
Nevada’s appellate courts have not previously addressed the
admissibility of evidence of a defendant’s alcohol consumption
and apparent intoxication while driving in cases where the defen-
dant is charged with leaving the scene of an accident in violation
of NRS 484E.010. We conclude that the district court did not abuse
its discretion by admitting this evidence because it was relevant
to Chadwick’s motive to flee, proven by clear and convincing evi-
dence, and not unfairly prejudicial.
