Nevada court considers releasing O.J. Simpson

LAS VEGAS (AP) -- A trio of Nevada Supreme Court justices is considering whether to let O.J. Simpson and a former golfing buddy out of prison while the full court reviews their convictions for a gunpoint hotel room heist.

Justice Michael Cherry didn't say at the end of a hearing Monday how long it will take for the three-member panel to rule on whether the former football star and convicted co-defendant Clarence "C.J." Stewart should be allowed to post bond.

Simpson and Stewart weren't in the courtroom, but their lawyers say they deserve to go free while they work to prove that they were denied a fair trial.

BTW, I had no idea which forum to put this. I suppose either here or GD. :shrug:

Their argument is 2 African-American jurors were dismissed (out of a jury pool of 400), and "insufficient evidence". If there was "insufficient evidence" in OJ's last trial, I'm not sure what would count as sufficient. They have the audio tape of the whole thing. The only thing missing was a full confession by OJ.

"Don't let nobody out of this room. Mother fucker, you think you can steal my shit and sell it?"

that would give him more time to catch the "real" killer:eyes:.

Sidesteps a parole officer...
