LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — Channel 13 was in court as Jose Gutierrez appeared before a judge Wednesday morning in connection to the 12-car crash that has left three people dead.
We learned during Wednesday's hearing that his case will go before the death penalty review committee, the internal panel that evaluates whether a homicide case qualifies for capital punishment under Nevada law.
