Nicole Brown Simpson and her male friend Ronald Goldman are savagely murdered in front of Simpson's condominium complex in Brentwood, California. The most plausible suspect turns out to be Nicole's estranged husband O.J., who is arrested for the crime a month later.

(CNN) — Nevada’s Supreme Court denied O.J. Simpson’s request to get out of prison on bond while his lawyers appeal his armed robbery and kidnapping convictions.

The decision, published Friday, said Simpson, 61, has not proven he would not be a flight risk if set free.

Simpson’s lawyers filed and appeal of his October 2008 conviction in May, arguing his trial was “fundamentally unfair.”

'Fundamentally unfair'??? What about his murder trial?! LOL
