LAS VEGAS, Aug. 29 (UPI) -- Next month's trial of former football great O.J. Simpson and a co-defendant will go on as scheduled despite defense opposition, a Las Vegas judge has ruled.
While the attorney for co-defendant Clarence Stewart asked that the robbery and kidnapping trial be delayed in order to potentially divide the defendants, Clark County District Judge Jackie Glass refused the request and plans on starting the Sept. 8 trial as scheduled, Las Vegas' KNXT reported Friday.
