THE TELEGRAPH: The Nevada Supreme Court has refused to overturn former American football star O.J. Simpson's armed robbery and kidnapping convictions stemming from a Las Vegas hotel room heist at gunpoint.The court said in its ruling on Friday that it concluded that all of Simpson's arguments for appeal were without merit.
But the court ordered the conviction of Simpson's co-defendant Clarence "C.J." Stewart to be reversed and a new trial held.
The 63-year-old Simpson is serving nine to 33 years at a state prison. His co-defendant, Stewart, is serving 7 and a half to 27 years at High Desert State Prison, northwest of Las Vegas.
Both men were convicted of kidnapping, armed robbery, conspiracy and other crimes for what Simpson maintained was an attempt to retrieve family photos and mementoes. >>> | Friday, October 22, 2010
