Nevada’s Supreme Court Chief Justice Nancy Saitta abruptly
announced that she is retiring in August. Here is why, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal:
Saitta was friends with a Vegas lawyer, Nancy Quon, whose law firm specialized
in suing builders for construction defects. Quon was under investigation for
rigging homeowner association elections across Vegas in order to get their
business, and increase her leverage in suing these builders. The FBI looked
into this.
Allegedly, Chief Justice Saitta caught wind of the sting operation and tipped off her
friend. Quon killed herself a short time later. To date more than 40 people have pled guilty to
fraud and corruption charges.
Saitta is implicated another way. Before her election to the
highest court, she presided over construction defect cases while she was a
Clark County District Court judge.
Nancy Saitta has been a statewide leader for legal issues
that affect children.
