Robbery/Kidnapping Conviction Upheld
Yesterday, Simpson lost his latest legal fight, as a Nevada judge upheld his conviction on kidnapping, armed robbery and other charges.
Simpson's legal team's bid, which followed an unsuccessful "direct appeal," asked for a new trial on 22 specific grounds related to his trial and appeal. But they didn't sway Clark County Judge Linda Marie Bell, who sided against Simpson point-by-point-by-point.
"Given the overwhelming amount of evidence," Bell wrote, "neither the errors in this case, nor the errors collectively, cause this court to question the validity of Mr. Simpson's conviction."
His current legal team expressed dissatisfaction with the ruling. "We're shocked and disappointed," said Patricia Palm, one of his attorneys. "We're convinced the law provides relief for Mr. Simpson."
