Nevada Supreme Court · Decided November 13, 2015

Davis (Willis) v. State

Opinion

reasonably believed the victim would appear for trial because she had shown up on two prior occasions without incident, and although she missed the first scheduled trial date, she explained that her failure to appear was a result of problems with her phone. See Hernandez, 124 Nev. at 652, 188 P.3d at 1135 (holding that it was reasonable for the State to rely upon a witness' promise to appear because it was unforeseeable that she would suffer a family emergency). The State's attempts to locate the victim after it lost contact with her were also reasonable and satisfy the good cause requirements. Id. Next, appellant contends that the district court abused its discretion by allowing the State to introduce a recorded phone call that was disclosed shortly before trial. As appellant fails to demonstrate that the State acted in bad faith or that he was prejudiced due to the tardy disclosure of the phone call given the circumstances, we discern no abuse of discretion. See NRS 174.295(2); Evans v. State, 117 Nev. 609, 638, 28 P.3d 498, 518 (2001). Accordingly, we ORDER the judgment of conviction AFFIRMED.'
