HOW IS "ASSAULT AND BATTERY" HANDLED UNDER NEVADA LAW?

Many people get arrested in Las Vegas for bar fights, club fights, brawls and other altercations. Often police will arrest everyone at the scene, without taking the time to sort out who started it, who provoked it, who was really fighting and who was at fault. Nevertheless, a good Nevada criminal defense lawyer can often get misdemeanor or felony assault and battery charges reduced or dismissed.

"UNPAID CASINO MARKERS" IN NEVADA LAW:

In Las Vegas, a person who signs for a casino marker is actually deemed to be writing a check to the casino. If that gambling debt goes unpaid, it's treated as a bad check and prosecuted as a felony criminal matter. Indeed, hundreds of people are prosecuted every year in Las Vegas for unpaid casino markers. These cases are prosecuted by the Clark County District Attorney and Nevada will seek extradition if the gambling debtor is now out of state.

Not paying back a marker of at least $1,200 is a felony in Nevada, carrying prison, fines, restitution, and administrative fees. For markers less than $1,200, non-payment is a misdemeanor.

WHAT ARE NEVADA'S "RAPE" LAWS?

Other than murder, sexual assault (rape) is the most serious crime in Nevada. The penalty in Nevada includes up to life in prison as well as sex offender registration.

Possible defenses to Nevada rape charges include false accusations, lack of evidence, and consent.

A conviction is a felony that could result in punishment such as life in Nevada State Prison. But a good criminal defense lawyer may be able to get the charges reduced or dismissed.
