Old Rape Case Against Havas Dismissed
A Nevada judge dismissed an old rape case against former auto dealer Vic Havas after prosecutors failed to produce the victim's slacks and panties. The ruling cited a 9th Circuit decision in U S v Loud Hawk on exculpatory evidence and noted the defense was deprived of critical material. Havas remains charged in a separate case with multiple sexual offenses and is representing himself at a October trial date.
