Daniels V. State

Appellant Jonathan Daniels fatally shot two convenience store clerks during a robbery in Las Vegas, Nevada. Daniels and his companion, Kenya Ennis, visited the home of Francine Banks on January 20, 1995. Ennis asked Banks to drive her and Daniels to the AM/PM Mini-Market located one block from the apartment building in which Banks and Ennis both resided so that Daniels and Ennis could use the public telephone. Banks' boyfriend, Maurice Marshall, drove Banks, Daniels, Ennis, and Ennis, two children to the AM/PM Mini-Market. Ennis and Marshall later testified that Daniels and Ennis did not use the telephone at the AM/PM Mini-Market because Daniels was afraid that some unspecified people "were out to get him." At Daniels' and Ennis, request, Marshall drove them to a nearby Circle K Market so that they could use the telephone there instead.
