Las Vegas NowDA Seeks More Time in OJ Co-Defendant Appeal
Prosecutors are asking the Nevada Supreme Court for 30 more days to answer an appeal by convicted O.J. Simpson co-defendant Clarence "C.J." Stewart.
A clerk at the state's only appellate court in Carson City says a motion seeking an extension to Oct. 16 was received Wednesday.
The court is expected to grant the request.
Clark County District Attorney David Roger says it's taken time to sift through transcripts and trial material lawyers for Simpson and Stewart submitted last May.
The DA says he focused first on responding to Simpson's appeal last Friday.
That document argues that Simpson was fairly convicted of armed robbery and kidnapping in a September 2007 a confrontation with sports memorabilia dealers in a Las Vegas casino hotel room.
