OJ's Robbery conviction 'payback for murder acquittal', claims lawyer

Former American football star OJ Simpson's conviction for a gunpoint hotel room robbery amounted to prejudicial "payback" for his 1994 double-murder acquittal, his lawyer told Nevada Supreme Court judges.

Yale Galanter asked the court panel to overturn Simpson's conviction and grant a new trial in the September 2007 confrontation with two sports memorabilia dealers in Las Vegas.
