OJ Simpson Heads to Court Monday Seeking “Hail Mary Motion,” a Writ of Habeas Corpus, Stating Bad Representation Should Reverse his Conviction and New Trial Ordered

He’s baaack, like a bad penny.

O.J. Simpson will return to court in Las Vegas, Nevada in and attempt to seek a “Hail Mary” motion, better known as a writ of Habeas Corpus. The motion claims that OJ  had such bad representation during his first trial that his conviction should be reversed and a new trial ordered. In 2008 Simpson was convicted on armed robbery and kidnapping charges and sent to prison after “The Juice” participated in a bizarre hotel room robbery, claiming he was trying to get back personal memorabilia that he claimed was stolen from him. Simpson was found guilty as the “glove fit” this time and is presently serving 9 to 33 years for the crimes.

Simpson has filed 19 claims of ineffective counsel and attorney conflict of interest in the 2008 case. Simpson contends his trial attorney never told him about a plea bargain that had been offered by prosecutors. He also said in a sworn statement that the same attorney knew about the memorabilia sting before it happened, and “he advised me that I was within my legal rights.”

Simpson is expected to testify sometime during the week-long hearing.

Too bad this verdict did not happen in a Los Angles, CA court room

Most defendants lose these motions, but in this case nobody is taking bets on the outcome. When it comes to O.J Simpson, who knows?

Nothing is the same when O.J. is involved,” said Loyola Law School professor Laurie Levenson, who observed Simpson’s Los Angeles trial. “An O.J. case is never like any other case.”

Simpson was famously acquitted on murder charges related to the death of his ex-wife and her friend in a 1995 trial that captivated the nation. When he was sentenced in 2008, Clark County District Court Judge Jackie Glass, referencing the murder trial, said that her penalty was not intended as “retribution or any payback for anything else.”

Doesn’t OJ Simpson know, what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas? Including criminals found guilty. For some one who got away with murder, Simpson should count his lucky stars that he is still breathing and has a possibility of getting parole.

Prosecutor May Seek Death Penalty for Cleveland House of Horrors Kidnap, Rape Suspect Ariel Castro of Victims Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus & Michelle Knight

Ohio prosecutor may seek the death penalty for the  Cleveland “House of Horrors” kidnap and rape suspect Ariel Castro. MAY!!! Let me repeat that, MAY???!!! What else would one do with this POS? Not only did Castro kidnap and hold captive Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus and Michelle Knight for a decade, he repeatedly raped them as well. Add to it the reported five miscarriages that Michelle Knight suffered at the hands of beatings from Castro. MAY? You had better seek the DEATH PENALTY against this comp pice of human waste. These three woman need to know that he is dead and never going to harm them again. Nothing is more permanent than dead.

An Ohio prosecutor says he may seek the death penalty against the man accused of imprisoning three women at his home for about a decade for forcing them to suffer miscarriages.

Cuyahoga County prosecutor Thomas McGinty says Ohio law calls for the death penalty for the “most depraved criminals who commit aggravated murder during the course of a kidnapping.” He says aggravated murder charges could be filed related to pregnancies terminated by force.

Ariel Castro is being held on $8 million bail. The 52-year-old former school bus driver was under a suicide watch in jail, where he was being held on kidnapping and rape charges for holding three women — Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus and Michelle Knight — inside his home for about a decade.

Ariel Castro Charged in Ohio House of Horrors Adductions: 4 Counts of Kidnapping and 3 Counts of Rape of Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus & Michelle Knight … Brothers Not Linked to the Crime

Ariel Castro has been charged with 4 counts of kidnapping and 3 counts of rape in the abductions of Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus and Michelle Knight.  The other two brothers as of this time they have found no evidence that they were involved whatsoever. Many of the questions at this afternoon’s press conference regarding the pregnancy of Amanda Berry and the possible other pregnancies of the other two girls could not be answered at this time as the victims would have been minors at the time. It is highly possible and probably that more charges will be added as time goes on and more information is brought to light.

Cleveland authorities have charged the owner of a home where three women were found after about a decade in captivity with kidnapping and rape, but won’t charge his brothers, the city prosecutor announced Wednesday.

Charges filed against Ariel Castro in Ohio kidnapping case of Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus, and Michelle Knight.

Kidnapping and rape charges were filed Wednesday against a man arrested after three women missing for about a decade were found alive at his home.

Homeowner Ariel Castro was charged while his brothers, Pedro and Onil Castro, were held but faced no immediate charges.

The men were in custody and couldn’t be reached for comment. Their brother-in-law has said the family is “shocked” after hearing about the women at the home.

The three women were subjected to prolonged sexual and psychological abuse and suffered miscarriages, a city councilman briefed on the case said Wednesday.

Ariel Castro’s Cleveland House of Horrors: Neighbor Tell What They Saw “Three Naked Girls Chained with Collars and Leashes On” (Video)

Just what was going on at Ariel Castro’s Cleveland House of Horrors and for how long were bizarre situations occurring with no police investigation? Sadly, like many situations like this, sometimes things slip through the cracks and a simple thing like some one going out of their way and making sure they thoroughly investigate a complaint could be the difference between nothing and three girls held captive for a decade as sex slaves. Check out the VIDEO below where one of Castro’s neighbors discusses what they once saw that was reported to the police that “three naked girls chained and on leashes” were in the back yard. UNREAL. From all accounts police came to the house, knocked on the door, no one answered and they just drove off. The result was that the three abducted victims, Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus and Michelle Knight were repeatedly raped, impregnated and beaten.

It was fantastic news that the three woman have escaped and are now free from their captors; however, the Cleveland Police are going to have to seriously take a good look at procedures and make sure they firm up their processes where missed opportunities like this don’t happen again. Please don’t tell us that departmental policy was followed, as if that was the case, you might need to review and update said polices.

Neighbor Charles Ramsey Becomes Unlikely Hero Because He Got Involved … “She was Trying Desperately to get Outside and Pleaded for Help to reach Police” (VIDEO)

Heroes come in all shapes and sizes. One thing to remember that heroic actions mainly come when individuals get involved.

It is hard to believe that these three kidnapped and abducted woman, Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus, and Michelle Knight, were being hid in plain sight by 52-year old Ariel Castro. Not a single neighbor reported anything wrong at this house for ten years and then the one moment in time and opportunity occurred. It was time for a regular citizen to become a hero because he got involved … enter  Charles Ramsey, “I knew something was wrong when a little pretty white girl ran into a black man’s arms.”  You gotta laugh, but, Um, I beg to differ with that though, hey Charles, have you seen who is in Tiger Wood’s arms these days? But I digress.

A neighbor, Charles Ramsey, told WEWS-TV he heard screaming Monday and saw Berry, whom he didn’t recognize, at a door that would open only enough to fit a hand through. He said she was trying desperately to get outside and pleaded for help to reach police.

“I heard screaming,” he said. “I’m eating my McDonald’s. I come outside. I see this girl going nuts trying to get out of a house.”

A wild video from Charles Ramsey who represents John Q. Public and what is possible when good people act, don’t turn away and get involved.  More from Breitbart.com, “You got some big testicles to pull this off bro. Cuz, we seen this dude everyday!”
