Will the Nevada Supreme Court overturn OJ Simpson's Las Vegas convictions?

Background: O.J. Simpson is appealing to the Nevada Supreme Court to overturn his conviction on Las Vegas armed robbery and kidnapping charges.

The appeal alleges Simpson's conviction in a hotel room confrontation with two sports memorabilia dealers was tainted by judicial misconduct, a lack of racial diversity on the jury and errors in sentencing and jury instructions.

The document criticizes the trial judge and accuses prosecutors of improperly questioning witnesses about allegations of intimidation.

Will the Nevada Supreme Court overturn any of Simpson's Las Vegas convictions? To settle as Yes if one or more convictions are overturned. Market to be extended as necessary until the Nevada Supreme Court rules on this appeal.

Settlement details:As reported by a major mainstream news source.

My Hubdub friend Daleo points out that bets on the Cooper's Hill Cheese Rolling contest (just settled), the swine flu markets, the Two Egg FL temperature market, and this market would produce a very tasty breakfast of a sausage and cheese omelet with orange juice! ;)

Here's Leno's take at the time including The Dancing Itos starring prosecutor Marcia Clark: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XQPVA2bGsB4 Marcia's gotta be the hottest prosecutor who really WAS a prosecutor, instead of just playing one on TV!

The breakfast must be served at the Topless Coffee Shop, of course (before it closes).
