                history of violence, and the danger he posed to the community. Lopez
                failed to demonstrate that the State's assertion constituted "impalpable or
                highly suspect evidence," or that the district court relied solely on it when
                rendering its decision. Silks v. State, 92 Nev. 91, 94, 545 P.2d 1159, 1161
