After charges against Nathan Chasing Horse were dismissed by the Nevada Supreme Court, prosecutors have announced their decision to refile those charges. Chasing Horse, a prominent figure in the Native American community, was facing charges for allegedly sexually assaulting a woman in 2009. The case has been ongoing for several years, with Chasing Horse maintaining his innocence throughout.
The Nevada Supreme Court’s decision to dismiss the charges was based on a technicality, specifically the failure of the prosecution to provide Chasing Horse with a speedy trial. The court ruled that his constitutional right to a timely trial had been violated, leading to the charges being dropped. However, prosecutors have now stated their intention to refile the charges and continue pursuing the case against Chasing Horse.
Chasing Horse’s defense team has expressed frustration with the prosecution’s decision to refile the charges, arguing that the case should be dropped entirely due to the violation of Chasing Horse’s rights. They have also raised concerns about the impact that the ongoing legal battle is having on Chasing Horse and his family.
Chasing Horse has been an outspoken advocate for Native American rights and has a strong following within the community. Supporters have rallied around him throughout the legal proceedings, maintaining his innocence and highlighting the importance of standing up for Native American rights.
The refiled charges against Chasing Horse will likely lead to another round of legal battles and court appearances. As the case continues to unfold, both supporters and critics will be closely watching to see how it ultimately resolves.
