O.J. Files Another Appeal

Today, O.J. Simpson's lawyers filed another appeal of his conviction in Las Vegas in 2007. They are asking the Supreme Court to rehear their arguments.
From the Sun: O.J. Simpson's lawyers have filed a petition before the Nevada Supreme Court for a rehearing of the high court's Oct. 20 decision to uphold his robbery/kidnapping conviction stemming from a 2007 incident at the Palace Station Casino.
Simpson was convicted on 11 felony counts in taking items from memorabilia dealers from the hotel room. The 63-year-old NFL Hall of Famer is serving his sentence at the Lovelock Correctional Center.
The court on Oct. 22 upheld Simpson's conviction. Simpson and five other men tried to regain what Simpson believed was his personal property in September 2007 in a Las Vegas hotel room. Simpson was sentenced to a minimum of nine years in prison and a maximum of 33 years.
In the rehearing petition, which was filed Tuesday, Simpson's attorneys, Yale L. Galanter and Malcolm P. LaVergn, say the Clark County District Court that convicted Simpson had flaws in the way it picked the jury.
Their petition said the voir dire process, designed to weed out members of the jury panel who might have bias, was not extensive enough.
"Extensive probing questions were necessary and required in this case under the law," the petition says. "The Court's rationale that more questioning would not have provided additional securities misapprehends the law. Accordingly, a rehearing is warranted on the issue of restricting jury selection."
Simpson's attorneys also argued that the only two African-American members of the potential jury panel should not have been struck after they said they could follow the law.

This reminds me of a scene from "A Few Good Men": Sam Weinberg: ""I strenuously object?" Is that how it's done? Hm? "Objection, your Honor!" "Overruled" "No, no. I STRENUOUSLY object." "Oh! You strenuously object. Then I'll take some time and reconsider.""
