O.J. Staying in Jail

O.J. Simpson's appeal stemming from his conviction of robbery and kidnapping was denied by the Nevada Supreme Court today. Simpson'a attorneys argued that the racial makeup of the jury and the conduct of the judge were key issues in the case, and the conviction was prejudicial payback for his acquittal involving the 1994 slayings of Simpson's ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman. Simpson will continue to serve his 9-33 year sentence in Nevada State Prison. Meanwhile, the conviction of Simpson's co-defendant, Clarence Stewart, was reversed, and he will face a new trial.
