 While on its face an insignificant case of first degree case kidnapping and robbery with use a deadly weapon, it was during this trial that Figler and his frequent co-counsel, Daniel M. Bunin, brought to light a long-standing practice of the Clark County District Attorney's office of compensating witnesses for appearing in their private offices.Causing a controversy within the legal community that is ongoing, the footnote to the case is that Figler and Bunin were able to secure a full acquittal from the jury after only 15 minutes of deliberation.In the case of Gary Miller some four years later, the issue was raised again by Figler and Bunin, and again they secured a full acquittal of 20 felony counts of sexual assault.
