O.J.'s Robbery Trial to be Delayed Until September

A judge agreed Friday to delay the armed robbery and kidnapping trial for O.J. Simpson and two co-defendants until September to give the defense more time to prepare. Clark County District Judge Jackie Glass also refused to throw out the charges against the former football star, and refused to separate his trial from co-defendants Charles Ehrlich and Clarence "C.J." Stewart. In her ruling to push the trial to Sept. 8, Glass acknowledged it took longer than expected for prosecutors to analyze and enhance tape recordings, transcripts and fingerprints and turn them over to the defense to prepare for trial, which had been set initially for April 7.

O.J.Simpson Seeks Dismissal of Charges

Gabriel Grasso, O.J.'s attorney, filed court papers seeking the dismissal of half the 12 charges against Simpson, saying prosecutors in Nevada failed to meet legal standards to prosecute him. Simpson, age 60, is accused of leading five other men in a gunpoint robbery of two memorabilia of his. O.J.Simpson also wants a judge to bar any mention of the former football star's l995 acquittal in the slayings of his former wife and her friend when he stands trial on kidnapping and armed robbery charges, according to his attorney. The attorney said they didn't want the state to be able to bring that up at all as it is not part of this case.
