Statute 51 295

1. Evidence of a final judgment, entered after trial or upon a plea of guilty or guilty but mentally ill, but not upon a plea of nolo contendere, adjudging a person guilty of a crime punishable by death or imprisonment in excess of 1 year is not inadmissible under the hearsay rule to prove any fact essential to sustain the judgment. 2. This section does not make admissible, when offered by the State in a criminal prosecution for purposes other than impeachment, a judgment against a person other than the accused. 3. The pendency of an appeal may be shown but does not affect admissibility. (Added to NRS by 1971, 797; A 1995, 2466; 2003, 1480; 2007, 1436)
