Don't Let The Juice Loose

Lawyers for O.J. Simpson and his former golfing buddy hope to persuade a Nevada Supreme Court panel to spring the two men from prison while the justices review their convictions in a gunpoint hotel room heist. Not like he'd run...again.

Simpson and convicted co-defendant Clarence "C.J." Stewart won't be in a Las Vegas courtroom Monday for the 30-minute sessions allotted to their lawyers before a trio of justices from the state's only appellate court. Clark County District Attorney David Roger, who prosecuted the pair, will argue against release, on behalf of all citizens and the legal standard of our judicial system.

The justices won't make an immediate decision, but it is rare for the state high court to hear oral arguments on bond and even more rare to grant release. Because you don't get to get out of jail just because you want to appeal why you're there. Simpson (62) is serving nine to 33 years for kidnapping and assault with a deadly weapon stemming from a September 2007 confrontation with two sports memorabilia dealers in a Las Vegas casino hotel room. Stewart (55) s serving 7½ to 27 years.

Simpson scumbag lawyer Yale Galanter has said Simpson won't flee if he's released, poses no danger to the community and will comply with any conditions the high court sets. Hmmm...the double murderer who literally got away with it and then wrote a book glorifying the crime as a piece of fiction would never go on the lam. We're all just shocked that he committed this second set of crimes!

It blows my mind that there's even a discussion about this, or that the door is being opened a crack to invite conversation about furloughing convicts while they precess their appeals. You'd have more people from jail out of jail than in it. This is fucking crazy.
