CARSON CITY — The Nevada Supreme Court has rejected the appeal of death row inmate Rodney Emil, convicted in the killing of his stepfather in 1984 in Las Vegas to collect on an insurance policy, according to court documents.
The court rejected the fourth petition of Emil, 55, who maintained his attorney was ineffective and he is innocent of the murder of Charles Howard Emile, 46, who was shot four times in the desert outside of Las Vegas, according to the court documents.
Emil is also serving a life term without parole for killing Ross Tolley in 1983 in Las Vegas.
