O.J. throws a Hail Mary pass

O.J. Simpson, after being convicted of armed robbery, thinks he deserves to be set free on bail while his appeal is pending. I don't think so.

What is more interesting to me is that in this same article, it says that the Nevada  Supreme Court has not heard oral arguments in 8 years. Some courts in other states hear oral arguments in every single case, or at least every case in which one party asks for arguments. I think here in Arkansas, they got tired of listening ot me because after I did my first 3 or 4, my next 15 requests were denied. ( mainly because there wasn't much interesting to hear in those cases.)

In any event, O.J. will most likely spend his next few years where he belongs, with other violent felons.
