LAS VEGAS (KTNV) â Nevada Attorney General Aaron D. Ford announces that Reginald D. Mason, aka Reginald D. Hayes, was granted a certificate of innocence.
He was also awarded $975,000 from the state of Nevada as compensation for the 13 years spent in prison following his wrongful conviction.
Eighth Judicial District Court Judge Douglas W. Herndon entered stipulated orders on Dece. 9, 2020, which AG Ford fully supported.
The Board of Examiners approved the payment on Feb. 9, 2021.
In 1985, when he was only 14-years-old, Mason was convicted by Nevada of four counts of attempted murder with use of a deadly weapon and one count of first-degree murder with use of a deadly weapon.
