O.J. Simpson lawyer Yale Galanter has told a panel of Nevada Supreme Court justices that Simpson’s conviction on kidnapping and armed robbery charges is “payback” for Simpson’s acquittal of double murder charges in 1995. Galanter says the Las Vegas trial that has put Simpson away for up to 33 years “was not a search for truth” but “a search for redemption.” Galanter wants the appeals panel to overturn Simpson’s conviction and order a new trial in the September 2007 confrontation with a pair of sports memorabilia dealers in a hotel room. A ruling by the court isn’t expected until later this year.
