    State Supreme Court rejects death row inmate’s appeal

    CARSON CITY — The Nevada Supreme Court has denied the appeal of death row inmate Curtis Guy, convicted of killing another man in Las Vegas after a drug buy.

    The court rejected the petition of Guy, who claimed his lawyer was ineffective numerous times during his trial and penalty hearing.

    Justice Nancy Saitta, who wrote the unanimous decision, said, “We conclude that Guy failed to make any meritorious claims of ineffective assistance of counsel.”

    Among his claims, Guy maintained his trial attorney failed to present any mitigating evidence that would outweigh the aggravating circumstances during the death penalty hearing.

    The court said the trial attorney visited Guy 16 times before the trial and Guy never mentioned any mitigating witnesses.

    Guy was convicted of killing Caesor Evans in April 1990. Evans joined Guy and Larry Pendleton to buy drugs. After the deal, Evans got out of the car to urinate. Guy started to drive off, and Evans grabbed the side of the car holding on.

    Pendleton shot Evans three times. Guy drove off. Pendleton pleaded guilty and got life without the possibility of parole plus 110 years.
