Jones v. Sheriff

OPINION

At the conclusion of a preliminary examination James Jones was ordered to stand trial for (1) rape (NRS 200.363) committed with the use of a deadly weapon (NRS 193.165); and, (2) the infamous crime against nature (NRS 201.190), which was also committed with the use of a deadly weapon (NRS 193.165).

*298A pretrial petition for a writ of habeas corpus contended the prosecutor failed to meet the burden, imposed by NRS 171.-206, of producing sufficient evidence to establish probable cause that Jones had committed the charged offenses. The district judge considered and denied the habeas petition.
