Judge Who? No Placard for Ito After Many Thefts

He even tried gluing it on, to no avail

(NEWSER) - Of all the people damaged by the OJ Simpson trial, Lance Ito’s tale is perhaps the saddest—err, most mundane. The poor presiding judge’s name became so famous that the placard announcing him outside his courtroom was repeatedly pilfered over the years. He tried everything, the Los Angeles Times reports—even glue—but each new iteration would disappear all over again. So now he doesn’t have one. There is no investigation. More»

That OJ Simpson Memorabilia? Practically Worthless Market collapses for ex-footballer's gear

(NEWSER) - After O.J. Simpson's debacle stealing back his own signed footballs and photographs in Las Vegas, the Washington Post asks, just who would want it anyway?

Lawyer says Simpson deserves new trial

(NEWSER) - OJ Simpson's new attorney says his client's former lawyers did such a bad job that the former football star deserves a new trial. An appeal document filed yesterday faults the trial strategy of Yale Galanter and Gabriel Grasso, and claims that Galanter helped plan Simpson's effort to retrieve family photos and mementos—an effort that led to Simpson's conviction in 2008 on charges including kidnapping and armed robbery, reports AP . Six people were convicted of felonies in the case, but Simpson, who got nine to 33 years, is the only one still behind bars. More»
