Hanley v. State

OPINION

By the Court,

THOMPSON, J.:

On this appeal we are asked to overrule a settled test relating to a motion to change the venue of a criminal trial. In State v. Alsup, 68 Nev. 45, 226 P.2d 801, we said: “It has long been established by decisions of this court that the proper procedure to determine the issue as to whether a defendant could have a fair and impartial trial in the county is the result obtained from examination of the panel. This is the proper test to ascertain the ultimate fact.” Accord: State v. Millain, 3 Nev. 409; State v. Gray, 19 Nev. 212, 8 P. 456; State v. Teeter, 65 Nev.…
