REDEFORD v. STATE

No. 9478.

572 P.2d 219 (1977)

Earl Lenon REDEFORD, Appellant, v. The STATE of Nevada, Respondent.

Supreme Court of Nevada.

December 22, 1977.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Morgan D. Harris, Public Defender, and Terrence M. Jackson, Deputy Public Defender, Clark County, Las Vegas, for appellant.

Robert List, Atty. Gen., Carson City, George Holt, Dist. Atty., and H. Leon Simon, Deputy Dist. Atty., Clark County, Las Vegas, for respondent.

OPINION

GUNDERSON, Justice:

Earl Lenon Redeford appeals from a conviction by jury for attempted burglary contending: (1) the district court erred in giving a coercive jury instruction; (2) a statutory presumption created by the legislature for burglary prosecutions is unconstitutional; and (3) the district court erred by admitting evidence of a prior felony conviction. Appellant's initial contention has merit, and we must reverse.
