CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) - A gang member sentenced to 40 years in
prison for his part in a Las Vegas killing has lost a Nevada Supreme Court appeal.
The high court rejected the appeal from Julius Bradford, a Rolling 60s gang member who was convicted for his role in the killing of Benito Zambrano-Lopez, shot in the back multiple times in 2003. Bradford wasn't the shooter.
Justices rejected Bradford's arguments that there was insufficient evidence against him and that the trial judge erred in giving instructions to jurors and in admitting evidence of prior bad acts.
The high court previously had granted an appeal from Bradford, which led to a retrial and the prison sentence. He then appealed again to the Supreme Court.
