Murder Charge Dismissed After Investigation

Would a paper publish a misleading headline? No, that would imply bias, and there is no media bias. Just ask them, and they will tell you. Murder charge dismissed after Hassan Phillips claims self-defense | Las Vegas Review-Journal

But having a factual headline is not click-bait. Sensationalism is important; impartial news reporting is such a 20th Century concept.

After his arrest we were able to interview him and he made a claim of self defense. As a result of his interview and details that he provided the district attorney decided to dismiss the charges based on the his self-defense claims that were consistent with evidence at the scene.

But it does go to show that self-defense is legal in Las Vegas and Nevada, even if the media doesn't like that.
