Court denies OJ Simpson appeal

The Nevada Supreme Court tonight refused to overturn former American football star OJ Simpson’s armed robbery and kidnapping convictions stemming from a Las Vegas hotel room heist.

But the court ordered his co-defendant’s conviction in the case reversed.

The 63-year-old Simpson is serving nine to 33 years in prison. His co-defendant, Clarence “CJ” Stewart, is serving 7.5 to 27 years.

Both men were convicted of kidnapping, armed robbery, conspiracy and other crimes for what Simpson maintained was an attempt to retrieve family photos and mementoes.
