See earlier post of this Blog - December 21, 2017 - at the link below: "Kirstin Lobato: Nevada: Failure of defence counsel to effectively challenge prosecution's time of death a factor in order for new trial..."The Supreme Court ordered an evidentiary hearing late last year on 25 of the claims. The order called for a hearing on her counsel’s decision not to hire an expert witness to pinpoint the time of death."..." Attorney David Schieck, who was working as a public defender in Clark County during Lobato’s trial and took over the case from an experienced criminal defense attorney, testified that he should have more closely supervised two less-experienced attorneys who worked on the case. Schieck said the attorneys obtained an estimate of Bailey’s time of death from a forensic pathologist, but did not call the expert as a witness at trial. Miley noted in her decision that, contrary to the usual practice of giving experts all relevant information, Lobato’s less-experienced attorneys also provided their forensic pathologist with only five of about 300 photos of the Las Vegas crime scene and autopsy. “Mr. Schieck also made clear that any evidence that could have narrowed Bailey’s time of death to the late morning, afternoon or evening of July 8, 2001 would have been critical to Defendant’s alibi defense,” her order read. Four forensic experts for the defense, including a former Clark County medical examiner and a university professor of forensic pathology, testified that based on photos and reports indicating lack of blowfly egg colonization on Bailey’s body, the 44-year-old Las Vegas homeless man likely died about 9 p.m. on July 8, 2001."
