O.J. and co-defendant Clarence Stewart were denied any hope of a new trial on Friday, and they will continue to face multiple kidnapping and armed robbery convictions.
Defense lawyer Brent Bryson claimed the juror foreman, Paul Connelly, was guilty of misconduct after it was discovered that he was dismissed from a previous job for alleged racial slurs. Connelly also allegedly told reporters after the conviction he thought O.J. "should have gotten life in prison" for the murder of Nicole Simpson.
The judge made it clear that defense attorneys "were not under any illusions" about Connelly's beliefs prior to the trial as she denied the motion.
Simpson and Stewart currently face possible life sentences.

I saw several photos elsewhere of simpson crying -- his eyes reddened from the tears of realizing that he ain't gonna slither outta this as easily as he slithered out of a crime far far more heinous. His days on the links are likely over forever and he's gonna rot and "be got" just like he should have been many years ago. I hope this sleaze bag gets EVERYTHING coming to him. This narcissistic sociopath just didn't believe there were consequences for HIM. No new trial for you, simpson. New home, yes.

O.J. God Bless you! Many people are still living in the past. You were found not guilty by our justice system for the deaths of Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman, However, your recent jury did not do their job. Shame on them and the judge!
The Goldmans claim they are good people and that they loved their son, they need to really think about what that means because if they need closure, going after O.J. will not do it, only God can give them peace with their son's death.

Let's remember, he was pronounced innocent by a juror of peers. I think he's guilty as hell, but we can't do our own justice on the man by sentencing him to life in prison on a lesser charge. This isn't the time to be spiteful.
