A federal lawsuit alleges that a veteran Nevada state judge violated defendants' civil rights with improper sentences. The class-action lawsuit stems from the case of Jeanette Faye Sadoski. Sadoski is accusing Clark County District Court Donald Mosley of wrongfully increasing her sentence and exposing her to double jeopardy. The suit seeks a review of all of Mosley's criminal cases to determine if he legally resentenced other defendants. Clark Garen, Sadoski's attorney, says he believes "a couple hundred people'' may be affected.
