CARSON CITY – A federal appeals court has rejected the petition of a killer who is serving five life terms for the fatal shooting of a Canadian tourist and the robbery of his wife in Clark County.
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said Patrick H. Randle was 192 days late in filing his petition for a writ of habeas corpus. It upheld the decision of U.S. District Judge Edward Reed.
Randle, now 51 and confined to the Southern Desert Correctional Center, was convicted of the fatal shooting of Roger Champagne and robbing his wife, Lorette, in the Sam’s Town RV Park on May 24, 1994.
Three of the life terms imposed on Randle were without the possibility of parole.
