From Nevada Appeal:
LAS VEGAS (AP) — Nevada Attorney General Catherine Cortez Masto said Thursday she won’t appeal a judge’s dismissal of a criminal case accusing Lt. Gov. Brian Krolicki and his top aide of misappropriating funds from a state college savings program.
Masto said she disagreed with Clark County District Court Judge Valerie Adair’s decision Monday to cancel next week’s trial and throw out the case based on what Masto termed “a technicality.”
“The judge merely found the charging document, the indictment, was deficient,” said Masto, a Democrat who drew fire from defense attorneys for what they called a political prosecution of an elected Republican state official and his chief of staff, Kathryn Besser.
