Nevada’s Supreme Court denies O.J. Simpson’s appeal

The Nevada Supreme Court refused  to overturn O.J. Simpson’s armed robbery and kidnapping convictions, rejecting the claim that some jurors were dismissed because they were black making for a unfair trail.

Simpson attorney Yale Galanter planned to take Simpson’s appeal to the federal court after his 2008 conviction in the gunpoint heist in a Las Vegas hotel room was upheld.

“This is but the first step in a very long line of appeals that Mr. Simpson has before him,” Galanter said.

The court said all eight separate issues raised in the appeal were without merit.
