| Description | Republican Elizabeth Halseth, who is Nolan's opponent in the June 8 primary for Senate District 9 in northwest Las Vegas, on Wednesday released the message Nolan left on Lawes' phone.
In the message, he talks about making it "very financially beneficial" if Lawes would tell the truth about the 2008 court case in which her then-husband, Gordon Lawes, now 29, was convicted of raping her then 16-year-old sister. Gordon Lawes received a prison sentence of at least 10 years.
Nolan, a legislator since 1994, testified as a character witness for Gordon Lawes at the trial, and Nolan said Wednesday that he still believes his friend is innocent because the sex was consensual.
Nolan confirmed Wednesday that he made the call to Jaime Lawes, but he said he "made up" the statement that she would be paid if she told the truth. |
