U.S. judge denies Simpson’s request for new trial

LAS VEGAS -- A Las Vegas judge has rejected former U.S. football star OJ Simpson’s request for a new trial after he was convicted in October for robbing two sports memorabilia collectors.

Nevada judge Jackie Glass said Simpson and co-defendant Clarence Stewart had not made strong enough arguments to merit a new hearing.

Simpson, 61, whose trial for the brutal 1994 murder of his ex-wife Nicole and her friend Ron Goldman ended up in his acquittal, was found guilty on October 4 of 12 charges in the armed robbery and kidnapping of the two collectors in the Las Vegas Palace Station casino on September 13, 2007.

Simpson and Stewart both face life in prison, and their sentences in the case are scheduled to be handed down on December 5.
