Oral argument recording available in Robles v. State

An audio recording of this morning's oral argument in Robles v. State is now available at the Nevada Supreme Court's website. Robles, who is represented by John Momot on appeal, argued that he was deprived of his right to cross-examine a witness during the penalty phase, denied his right to cross-examine about a guilt phase witness's prior convictions and benefit of not being adjudicated a habitual criminal, and denied his right to present evidence of a 911 call that supported the defense. He also argued that the district court should not have allowed the State to introduce evidence of telephone calls from the jail as those recordings were not made for security purposes but were made for the purpose of enhancing the State's case.
