  • holding that, when determining whether a threat of physical force was irnmediate for the purposes of NRS 207.190(2), the factfinder must determine whether a reasonable person under the same circumstances would have felt immediately threatened
  • concluding that the error was not harmless because instructing the jury to apply the reasonable person test creates an objective standard for the jury to use in deciding the immediacy of the threat and thus determining whether the defendant is guilty of a felony or gross misdemeanor
