Lawyers For O. J. Seek New Trial


LAS VEGAS - Lawyers for O.J. Simpson are citing judicial errors and insufficient evidence as they seek a new trial.

They filed documents Friday in Las Vegas with Judge Jackie Glass.

She oversaw the trial at which the former football star was convicted of robbing two memorabilia dealers at gunpoint.

If she doesn't grant a new trial, Simpson lawyer Yale Galanter says he will appeal to the Nevada Supreme Court.

Lawyers for co-defendant Clarence (C.J.) Stewart also plan to seek a new trial.

They argue that Stewart should have been tried separately from Simpson.

Simpson and Stewart were convicted this month and face up to life in prison when they are sentenced in December.

SWIVEL HIPS SAYS:

Why was this totally predictable? This guy O. J., and his blatant disregard for the U. S. judicial system and disrespect for anything or anyone else, is really getting to bother me.
