- Story Text: O.J. Simpson returned to a Las Vegas courtroom on Monday (May 13) seeking to have his armed robbery and kidnapping conviction thrown out on the basis he did not have suitable legal representation during the 2008 trial.
Simpson, a former National Football League star and Hollywood actor, was serving a sentence of 3 to 33 years in prison for taking part in a scheme to recover sports memorabilia he claimed was stolen from him.
His current legal team will argue his conviction should be overturned and a new trial be granted on the basis on inadequate legal representation. - Copyright Holder: POOL (CAN SELL)
