A Nevada prison inmate was found guilty Friday of burglarizing the mansion of “Mr. Las Vegas” entertainerWeslie Hosea Martin, 22, didn’t testify during the trial and didn’t visibly react to the jury verdict in Clark County District Court.Martin has previous burglary-related and firearms convictions and could face up to life behind bars as a habitual criminal at his sentencing Aug. 15 in the Newton case.
His public defenders, Will Ewing and Chris Peterson, told jurors he was accused of crimes he did not commit. Peterson said they will seek leniency at sentencing and will evaluate the case for appeal.“What he was charged with is what he did. Plain and simple,” Giordani told the jury during closing arguments.
Martin’s lawyers conceded that Martin’s face was captured on a doorbell security camera at a neighboring home the night of the first Newton home burglary. The Newtons were in New York at the time.
