NRS 175.282  Plea bargain: Inspection by jury; instruction of jury; cross-examination of defendant.  If a prosecuting attorney enters into an agreement with a defendant in which the defendant agrees to testify against another defendant in exchange for a plea of guilty, guilty but mentally ill or nolo contendere to a lesser charge or for a recommendation of a reduced sentence, the court shall:

      1.  After excising any portion it deems irrelevant or prejudicial, permit the jury to inspect the agreement;

      2.  If the defendant who is testifying has not entered a plea or been sentenced pursuant to the agreement, instruct the jury regarding the possible related pressures on the defendant by providing the jury with an appropriate cautionary instruction; and

      3.  Allow the defense counsel to cross-examine fully the defendant who is testifying concerning the agreement.
