Under Nevada drug laws, prison is usually mandatory for trafficking convictions. But the judge can reduce or suspend the sentence if the defendant helped the police investigate any crime. Factors the judge may consider include: The court's evaluation of the significance and usefulness of the defendant's assistance; The truthfulness, completeness, and reliability of any information or testimony provided by the defendant; The nature and extent of the defendant's assistance; Any injury suffered or any danger or risk of injury to the convicted person or his/her family resulting from the assistance; and The timeliness of the defendant's assistance.
