Could O.J. Simpson get out of a Nevada prison while he appeals his armed robber and kidnapping convictions? Simpson attorney, Yale Galanter, says that if anybody deserves bond it’s his client because “he’s got nowhere to go, nowhere to hide.” The 62-year-old Simpson, whose 1994 acquittal in the murder of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, widened the racial gulf in America, is serving up to 33 years in prison after a jury convicted him of masterminding and perpetrating a hotel room robbery of two sports memorabilia dealers in Las Vegas. The NFL Hall of Famer, Heisman Trophy winner,  former sportscaster and actor, who is serving his time at Lovelock Correctional Center in northern Nevada, will be eligible for parole in 2017. Because of the length of the sentence, the three judges pondering the bail request seemed reluctant to grant it. “Considering the term of Simpson’s sentence, combined with his current age, Simpson is realistically looking at a possible life sentence,” Clark County Dist. Atty. David Roger said in court briefs. “Therefore, a flight to avoid a lengthy sentence has to be considered tempting.” The judges also stated that the violent nature of the crime makes granting bail tougher. Simpson’s appeal centers on claims that the trial judge, Jackie Glass, made several egregious mistakes, for example blocking the defense from fully questioning potential jurors and witnesses, and that the mostly White jury lacked diversity.
