Williams v. Sheriff of Washoe County
Opinion of the Court
OPINION
Billy Williams’ conviction for robbery was nullified by this court. Williams v. Warden, 91 Nev. 16, 530 P.2d 761
1. “While habeas is the proper procedure for challenging probable cause, the petition ‘must be filed and finally determined prior to trial and conviction.’ ” Apgar v. Sheriff, 89 Nev. 224, 225-226, 510 P.2d 632, 633 (1973).
2. “The motion to suppress is the remedy normally used to preclude the introduction of evidence at trial which is claimed to be inadmissible for constitutional reasons, and is the remedy contemplated by our criminal code.” Cook v. State, 85 Nev. 692, 694-695, 462 P.2d 523, 526 (1969).
Accordingly, the district court’s conclusion was correct and this appeal is without merit.
Affirmed.
