As if the world wasn't messed up enough...

Now some clod on Nevada's Supreme Court wants to release OJ from prison.

Nevada Supreme Court considers releasing Simpson

LAS VEGAS – A trio of Nevada Supreme Court justices focused Monday on whether O.J. Simpson and a former golfing buddy received a fair trial in a gunpoint hotel room heist and whether the case was so unique that the two men should be freed from prison while their appeals are considered.

"This is post-conviction. That's what concerns me," Justice Michael Cherry declared during rare oral arguments by lawyers about whether the former football star and co-defendant Clarence "C.J." Stewart should be allowed to post bond while their appeals are pending.

Cherry, the chairman of the three-judge panel considering the bond request, didn't say how long he and justices Mark Gibbons and Nancy Saitta might take to decide.

It appeared unlikely a ruling would come before an Aug. 12 deadline for Clark County District Attorney David Roger to file a written answer to Simpson's appeal.

Roger, who prosecuted Simpson and Stewart, argued Monday the men got a fair trial, a Nevada jury had spoken, and the pair should continue to serve their sentences for kidnapping and armed robbery.

It is unusual for the Nevada Supreme Court, the state's only appeals court, to hear oral arguments about bond, and it would be even more unusual for Simpson or Stewart to be released. The last such high-profile appellant to get such a chance in Nevada skipped town after posting $100,000 in 1978.

Hey Spotts, wanna move to Oregon with me and ditch this crazy state?

Why would you consider him for special license. Of all the people in jail, why him? (Beats Nevada upside the head with rolled up newspaper) BAD STATE! BAD!

I really doubt they'd let him go - asking for post-conviction relief is pretty common, but asking for bail pending appeal has always been a long shot. His lawyers would not only have to show reversible error, but also that he is going to show up for a potential retrial (which is always the standard for bail).

I don't know about OJ, but if the other guy gets turned loose he'll be in the wind before suppertime.

COME TO KENTUCKY!













Ditch Spotts in Missouri.

Hey...you guys are welcome to come to Minnesota where I am. Sure, we once had a former pro wrestler as a governor, but you can't beat being where the Mall of America and one of the best state fairs is!

If you like fishing, Sam Adams beer, and touring historical sites, you might want to consider Mass. as your new home.

My state rocks. And we're a rather nasty and vindictive shade of blue all over to boot. (Seriously, I've never met liberals as mean as the ones here) (I think its less about acceptance and more about banding together for safety despite overwhelming hatred of one another)

Minnesota is a frigid hole.

Massachusetts is for those of you who like crippling taxes.

Being in the same state as Baltimore is never a good thing.

Move to Pennsylvania. They have two world champions in the same city. And a third on the other side of the state. I'm told there are other attractions that have nothing to do with sports.

Come down to Tennessee, we invented Mountain Dew and Nuclear Power!

Mountain Dew is the byproduct of Nuclear Power.

Come to California. Bring your money. The Governator spent all of ours.

Aside from that, it's pretty nice here. Beaches, mountains, deserts, cities, Hollywood, Disneyland, drought (won't rain on your parade!), West Nile virus (mosquitoes--birds of parasite), gold seekers (and not just in Hollywood), and an employment rate approaching 88%.

California, here I come
Right back where I started from...

Hippies, Smug, Massachusetts level taxes, Hollywood, wild fires, and 12% unemployment.

Well, replace Disneyland with Six Flags, Holywood with Austin and that pretty much is the same as Texas.

I got news for you people - every state is getting fucked up. It's Bush's legacy to us all.

You can't compare Disneyland and Six Flags. They're two way different things. The only thing they have in common is that they're amusement parks. You also can't compare Hollywood to Austin. Austin is just... weird; it's nothing like Hollywood.

You want weird? Check out Cambridge sometime.

YOU'RE A FRIGID HOLE. >:C

I think all states were messed up long before Bush came along.

Not Minnesota. I mean that seriously.

:law:

John Waters and Frank Zappa came from Baltimore. Therefore, Baltimore, and by extension, Maryland > You.

Come on up to Canada. Our igloos are surprisingly warm
