The Top Prosecutor in Nevada, is asking the State Supreme Court to Uphold the Indictments of Six Republicans Charged with submitting a Bogus Certificate to Congress that declared Trump the winner of the Presidential Battleground's 2020 Election. Trump lost to Biden by more than 30,000 Votes.
Clark County District Court Judge Mary Kay Holthus issued a written Order Friday night, affirming Her Ruling from the Bench last month, that Las Vegas was the wrong Venue for the Case and therefore the Charges must be Dismissed.
A Spokesperson for Nevada Attorney General Aaron Ford (D), confirmed Saturday in a Statement, that the Office formally filed its Aappeal. “We remain confident in our case and look forward to bringing these individuals to justice and holding them accountable for their actions,” the Statement says.
The Defense Attorneys had Argued that Ford improperly brought the Case against their Clients before a Grand Jury in Democratic-leaning Las Vegas, instead of in a Northern Nevada City, where the alleged Crimes occurred.
Ford’s Office, meanwhile, Argued that “no one county contains the entirety of these crimes.”
The Defendants are: State GOP Chairman Michael McDonald; Clark County GOP Chairman Jesse Law; National Party Committee Member Jim DeGraffenreid; National and Douglas County Committee Member Shawn Meehan; Storey County Clerk Jim Hindle; and Eileen Rice, a Party Member from the Lake Tahoe area.
They were Indicted by a Grand Jury in Las Vegas last December, just before a Three-year Statute-of-Limitations expired. Each was Charged with offering a False Forged Instrument for Filing.
Felonies carry a Penalty of up to Four or Five years in Prison.
Monti Levy, One of the Defense Lawyers, said Saturday they “are confident that Judge Holthus made the correct decision and that her order granting the motion to dismiss will be upheld.”
It wasn’t clear Saturday from Court Records whether Oral Arguments had been Scheduled before the Nevada Supreme Court. The Court’s Clerk also did Not respond to an Emailed Message seeking more Information.
