O.J. Gunning for New Trial

The Juice is putting the squeeze on the justice system.
The attorney for O.J. Simpson has unsurprisingly requested a new trial for the NFL Hall of Famer, citing judicial errors and insufficient evidence for his across-the-board conviction on Oct. 3.
Simpson and codefendant Clarence Stewart were each found guilty of 12 counts, including armed robbery, kidnapping and assault, for holding up two sports memorabilia dealers in a Las Vegas hotel room and walking away with $100,000 worth of items.
Simpson, convicted 13 years to the day after being acquitted of the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman, maintained all along that the goods were his and he simply reclaimed his rightful possessions.
Sentencing is currently scheduled for Dec. 5. Both Simpson and Stewart are facing possible life terms.
Per documents filed Friday in Clark County District Court, Simpson attorney Yale Galanter says that, if Judge Jackie Glass does not grant a new trial, he will appeal the case to the Nevada Supreme Court.
Stewart's camp is also seeking a do-over, arguing that he never should have been tried alongside Simpson in the first place.
