Street v. State

Opinion of the Court

OPINION

Per Curiam:

Convicted of burglary, appellant assigns as error occurrences during his trial, to which his counsel made no objection. Counsel’s silence was quite consistent with legitimate trial strategy; hence, we cannot hold that appellant was denied competent counsel; nor can we hold that the lower court should have intervened sua sponte, cf. Garner v. State, 78 Nev. 366, 374 P.2d 525 (1962).

Affirmed.
