OJ isolated from fellow prisoners ahead of appeal

OJ SIMPSON’S lawyer said yesterday the disgraced actor and former American football star was being isolated from other prisoners for his own safety while focusing on a motion for a new trial and appeal against his conviction for kidnapping and robbery.

Yale Galanter said he would continue to pursue a request for Simpson to be released on bail.

He said Simpson would be living a lonely life, advised by his lawyers to give no media interviews and allowed to see only family and a few friends placed on a special list at the jail.
