Judge Nixes O.J. Simpson Appeal; World Devastated

Christie Prody, Fred Goldman and anyone with a conscience can rest easy after O.J. Simpson lost his appeal of a kidnapping and robbery conviction today.

Juice recruited some lowlife thugs, instructed them to "get some heat", a la Stringer Bell, and jacked a memorabilia dealer to reclaim "his" stuff in 2008.

The Nevada Supreme Court upheld the ruling in the case, stating that none of O.J.'s complaints had merit, and that he should continue doing time.

O.J. appealed on grounds of racial bias, saying prosecutors axed African-American jurors unfairly, and didn't allow his attorneys to ask certain questions.

Specifically, about the two people he killed in 1994.

The former Heisman winner and NFL Hall of Fame member was sentenced to 33 years in prison, with a possibility for parole on good behavior after nine.

Interestingly, one of Simpson's cohorts, Clarence Stewart, is also appealing, arguing that Simpson's involvement unfairly prejudiced a jury against him.

No idea how that would possibly happen ...

O.J. Simpson Suit Bound For Smithsonian

Most times when you talk about suits and O.J. Simpson, they're of the legal variety. People suing the knife-wielding maniac for wrongful death and whatnot.

This time, though, the topic is a suit the notorious murderer wore when he was somehow acquitted of murder by a jury jam-packed with idiots back in '95.

Those fine threads may be headed to the Smithsonian Institution.

After a court hearing Monday, which followed years of squabbling, lawyers for O.J. Simpson and Fred Goldman both agreed to donate the "acquittal suit."

Here's the historic judicial system failure in question ...

The judge called O.J. from prison, where he's serving a 15-year term for armed robbery and kidnapping, to get his approval. Simpson's lawyer said he agreed.

Provided no one makes money off it, that is.

David Cook, Goldman's lawyer, says, "The donation to the Smithsonian of the acquittal suit puts front and center the shock to America when justice escaped the Los Angeles courthouse. The memory of Ron Goldman shall be on permanent display."

"If the suit is the emblematic of justice gone berserk, justice is served."

Goldman has been relentlessly trying to cash in on everything Simpson-related since winning a $30-million-plus civil judgment for O.J. killing his son.

No word if the Smithsonian will accept the thing, or if Christie Prody has changed her name and signed up for a witness protection program yet.
