Busam v. Sheriff
Busam v. Sheriff
Opinion of the Court
OPINION
A five count indictment, returned by the Elko County Grand Jury, charged Leonard Ignatius Busam, Jr., with: I. Embezzlement (NRS 205.300); II.‘Forgery (NRS 205.095); III. Burglary (NRS 205.060); IV. Embezzlement (NRS 205.-300); and V. Embezzlement (NRS 205.300). Busam timely filed a petition for habeas corpus, which was granted as to count V; and, he now appeals from the order denying his habeas challenge to the first four counts.
In asking us to reverse, Busam contends the charges cannot stand because: (1) the Elko County District Attorney
Count II charges Busam with forgery; however, there is no evidence of record to support that charge. See NRS 205.-095 and United States v. Morse, 161 F. 429 (C.C.N.Y. 1908). Accordingly, the order of the trial court denying habeas corpus is reversed as to count II; as to counts I, III and IV, it is affirmed.
