Saili Manu received the maximum sentence of a total of six years in jail for two counts of assault with a deadly weapon at a 2007 Halloween party that left three men dead.

Dan Grecu, the prosecuting attorney, argued that although Manu did not kill anyone, his actions at the party “kindled the fire.”

Evidence also shows that a bullet was jammed in the chamber of his gun, meaning he pulled the trigger, Judge Patrick Flanagan said as he delivered the sentence.

James Michael Biela will go to trial for five charges: three charges of sexual assault, one count of kidnapping and one count of murder for the death of former Reno resident Brianna Denison.

Two sexual assault victims and girl who was with Brianna Denison the night of her disappearance testified in Reno Justice Court as part of the preliminary hearing of James Michael Biela. Biela is charged with three counts of sexual assault, and one count of murder, kidnapping and attempted sexual assault.

Studies vary, stating that 8 to 25 percent of college students use Adderall, but reports show increases in prescriptions for Adderall and students say the trend is widespread.

“It brings a lot of pride, knowing that there’s not too many women in my extended family that have even been able to finish high school,” Gallardo, a 22-year-old anthropology major, said. “To be able to get this far, it’s quite rewarding to know that a lot of hard work has been put in and I’ve faced a lot of obstacles, but I’ve been able to accomplish it.”

About 40 percent of Saturday’s graduates will leave Nevada if they follow the trend of other University of Nevada, Reno alumni.

Many alumni said they leave the state to pursue better job opportunities. This creates a paradigm where highly qualified workers leave because there aren’t any jobs, but businesses won’t come to the state because there aren’t enough workers.

University of Nevada, Reno students said although they are “relieved” Brianna Denison’s suspected killer was arrested Nov. 25, they won’t stop carrying their pepper spray and will continue to avoid walking alone.

University of Nevada, Reno students should expect a tuition increase as the state tries to solve its budget shortfall, Nevada legislators and regents said. But while all students face the possibility of higher fees, others continue to receive tuition discounts.

While Stephanie Meyer captures readers as the Twilight series connects to reality, J.K. Rowling merely stretches mythical pieces together in Harry Potter to make a ridiculous series of events with no pertinent backing.

It’s impossible for readers to relate to anything in Harry Potter as the entire plot centers around wizards flying on brooms. Without a plausible story line, Harry Potter is nothing more than a far-fetched fairy tale that’s completely irrelevant to humanity.

University officials, regents and legislators said if students don’t speak up, the cuts could be even more detrimental. Several state programs are fighting for money and if one group is more visibly against cuts, that group will get more money, they said.

Samisoni Taukitoku testified Monday that he “just started shooting,” at a Halloween party last year where a university student and two others died.
The alleged killer said he doesn’t remember shooting anybody because he was dazed after several people jumped him.

Friends and family remember University of Nevada, Reno sophomore Luis Sedano-Felix as a “man of art.” The 19-year-old psychology major loved to draw and paint murals and abstract works that stemmed from a deeper meaning. His tag, “soler,” fit his personality that friends describe as a “ball of sunshine.”

Some students raised concerns about how incidents close to campus are handled after UNRPD did not notify students of a nearby shooting and a student’s off-campus sexual assault earlier this year.

Garcia said UNRPD did not notify students because the incidents were off campus and students were not in danger.
