Nevada Supreme Court Throws Out Convicted Murderer's Appeal Because of Delay
Last week the Nevada Supreme Court rejected the appeal by convicted murderer Gregory Everett because he waited sixteen years to file a motion to withdraw his guilty plea of first-degree murder in Nevada. In a 3-0 decision, the Court explained, "Appellant failed to provide any explanation for the delay."
On July 12, 1980, Everett and three other men allegedly entered a Las Vegas apartment with the intent to steal. When the resident David Kinnamon walked in on them, one of the other men shot him to death.
In 1981 Everett pled guilty to first-degree murder in Nevada and was originally sentenced to death, but the Nevada State Board of Pardons reduced it to life in prison without parole. Now forty-eight years old, he’s currently in Ely State Prison.
