OJ APPEALS
OJ Simpson filed an appeal yesterday to overturn his armed robbery conviction.
He asked the Nevada Supreme Court to throw out his conviction because of judicial misconduct, insufficient evidence, a lack of racial diversity on the jury and errors in sentencing and jury instructions.
Simpson, who is serving nine to 33 years in state prison, was found guilty of robbery and kidnapping last October after he attempted to retrieve memorabilia from a pair of dealers in a Las Vegas hotel room.
a coroner's investigator says the 15-year-old student at Larose-Cut Off Middle School in Louisiana who shot himself in the head on school grounds last week, moments after firing at a teacher who refused his order to praise Marilyn Manson , has died.
Mark Goldman, the chief investigator for the Lafourche Parish Coroner's office, says Justin Doucet died Saturday morning at Terrebonne General Medical Center in Houma.
Doucet left a suicide note in which he explained that he planned to kill others before taking his own life with a gun belonging to his father. Doucet walked into a seventh-grade English class shortly before 9:00 a.m., telling the teacher to say "Hail Marilyn Manson" before attempting to shoot her.
