Supreme court orders new trial in killing

Tuesday, March 7, 2000 | 8:50 a.m.

The high court says Clark County District Judge Lee Gates incorrectly answered a question from the jury that effectively stopped jurors from reaching a lesser verdict of second-degree murder in the case.

The killing in Trout Canyon, about 30 miles from Las Vegas, occurred after Kelly and Shreve argued about water from Kelly's residence flooding Shreve's yard. Shreve had walked into Kelly's front yard to shut off a water valve when he was shot.
