This is O.J. Simpson's booking photo in Nevada's High Desert State Prison.
CARSON CITY – The Nevada Supreme Court has denied the petition of former football great O.J. Simpson, who was convicted on 11 counts involving taking items from memorabilia dealers in a Las Vegas hotel room.
Simpson, through his lawyers, had asked that the full seven members hear his case.
A three-judge panel initially rejected the appeal of Simpson, who was sentenced to a minimum of nine years in prison and a maximum of 33 years.
The court today rejected the petition for a rehearing without comment. Simpson is serving his term at the Lovelock Correctional Center.
Simpson and his partners entered the hotel room of memorabilia dealers Bruce Fromong and Al Beardsley at Palace Station. Simpson said the items belonged to him and accused the two men of stealing them.
He was convicted of conspiracies to commit a crime, kidnapping and robbery, burglary, kidnapping, robbery with use of a deadly weapon and two counts of assault with a deadly weapon.
The Supreme Court earlier granted a new trial to Clarence “C.J.” Stewart, an accomplice of Simpson’s. He had originally received the same sentence as Simpson.
In district court earlier this year, Stewart entered a no contest plea and was sentenced to nine months of house arrest, plus probation.
Offer OJ his own cell at Oscar's Mob Museum. He would dig it and the tourists would flood downtown to throw peanuts at him.
It couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.
i think the govenor should pardon mr. simpson he may have gone about it the wrong way but at one time the stuff was his.
When you sell your car, you're not allowed to get it back just because you owned it first. OJ sold all that stuff, then he wanted it back without paying for it. That's against the law.
He did not sell the items, they were misappropriated and sold by someone who did not own them. OJ was also not armed with a weapon, the man that was armed is out walking the streets today.
If the Nevada Supreme Court ruled that C.J. Stewart did not receive a fair trial in Nevada because the jury was prejudiced by the 1995 OJ Simpson trial; it would therefore stand to reason that the jury was also influenced by the same prejudice as it related to an inability to provide Simpson a fair trial as well, would it not?
It is too bad that the justices did not really rule on the evidence or the facts. They ruled on prejudice, media and publicity.
The fact are this was OJ's stuff and it still belongs to him.
Isn't it against the law to have stolen property?
Why were these thieves arrested?
This is another case of american injustice.
Everyone got probation but OJ. Just shows you what kind of town this is for minority's .
Real simple--This city and its citizen will not tolerate anyone walking in to a hotel with a gun and making unlawful demands for property and ordering people around at gunpoint. Period.
There are lawful means to recover stolen property. Mr. Simpson did not pursue those means.
There appears to be no question that Mr. Simpson had a gun and demanded property. He admitted as much in interviews with the police before he was booked.
He was tried and the jury found him guilty. To date no appeal to the Nevada Supreme Court has been successful. Read the pleadings. His attorneys failed to demonstrate that he did not receive a fair trial (an all white jury does not, in and of itself, constitute an "unfair" trial.)
Anything less than the sentence he received would have been a miscarriage of justice.
OMG - MG is a lover of a murderer. Wow! If only he knew the facts of the case before he makes himself look like an idiot! Having watched the entire case so that I could KNOW the facts, OJ Simpson is right where he should be. He is a criminal who thinks laws don't apply to him. Well, now he knows that when you commit a crime in Nevada you're going to get convicted! I hope he serves every bit of his 33 years and dies a slow, hideous and horrible death in prison. And that's better than he deserves!
Judges are impacted by mass media lies and hysteria too. Therefore, Simpson won't be granted a fair trial until he unleashes his own independent investigative team to reveal their own discoveries in his California case that indicate that his own lawyers in collaboration with prosecutors attempted to frame him just enough to have a so called "trial of the century", including Johnnie Cochran, for their own benefit or pecuniary gain. They knew that evidence exists that supports Simpson's ex-wife being alive and on the telephone with her mother, Juditha Brown, at 11PM as both the mother and father earlier stated when Simpson was entering the backseat of a chauffeur driven limo to LAX to catch an 11:45 PM flight to Chicago. Instead of Cochran and others introducing that evidence they buried it and entered a stipulation that backed the Brown family into an impossible drive time to arrive home departing at 8:45 PM from Brentwood (LA) to Dana PT, Orange County, to make an alleged 9:37 PM phone call. That information is laid out magnificently in the recently published "PURSUIT OF EXHIBIT 35 In the OJ Simpson Murder Trial and its Hidden Secrets", along with other revelations that may have contributed more directly to the death of his wife Nicole and her friend Ron Goldman. It appears that Goldman has an extensive criminal file protected by a SNITCH PROTECTION LAW, CA. GOVT CODE SEC. 6254(f), and that Nicole, Ron and Faye Resnick were allegedly involved in selling cocaine in the Cheviot Hills Tennis Courts parking lot where Ron was the club house pro. It also appears that Simpson's wife Nicole was socializing with dangerous nefarious men, one included an undercover drug informant who worked with police and now a convicted serial killer, Glen Edward Rogers. Rogers is set to die in the FLA electric chair for stabbing and slashing three of four women he killed within 6 weeks time.
