Las Vegas Justices Cherry, Saitta, and Gibbons
In this case, Ashton Cacho is appealing his 2008 conviction by a Clark County jury for one count each of open or gross lewdness and indecent exposure, and four counts of lewdness with a child under the age of 14. ISSUES: Are the convictions redundant? Did the district court err in not conducting a competency hearing regarding the child victim? Did the State withhold exculpatory evidence and/or engage in prosecutorial misconduct? Did the State present sufficient evidence to support the jury’s verdict?
