A judge is reconsidering whether the 73-year-old man charged with murder in the shooting of two unarmed trespassers at a vacant Sparks duplex should have access to the confidential mental health records of the surviving victim.
Â
Washoe District Judge Patrick Flanagan has ordered the state to produce the records by the end of this week. He wants to review them privately to determine whether Wayne Burgarello's lawyer can continue to argue they should be admitted as evidence in the case that has drawn attention to Nevada's "stand-your-ground" law.

Burgarello says he was acting in self-defense last February when he fatally shot Cody Devine and seriously wounded Janai Wilson inside his vacant, rundown duplex. His lawyer says Wilson's records would raise questions about the credibility of Wilson's account of the shooting. (AP)
