Fri Round Up


Judge Glass will decide today whether to bi-furcate O.J.'s trial and whether the charges should be dropped against the Juice. (ABC News) Schedule for the hearing available on LV Courts website.

And in UNLV-alumni news: UNLV grad and former professional baseball player Matt Williams was called to testify in the wiretapping case against Anthony Pellicano. Pellicano apparently offer to wiretap the phone of Williams' ex-wife (Review-Journal)
Up in Reno, Federal Judge Brian Sandoval refused to let "Girls Gone Wild" creator Joe Francis to be released from a Nevada jail without being sent back to Florida on charges he filmed underage girls topless (Review-Journal) [Is there no decency left in this country? Why must we persecute the poor Girls Gone Wild guy?]

And in Vegas Federal Court, Judge Phillip Pro declared a mistrial for the third time in the federal methamphetamine distribution trial of Anthony Eppolito and Guido Bravatti. This time, the mistrial was declared when a government referred "to a potentially prejudicial conversation he had at a restaurant with Louis Eppolito and Caracappa just before phoning Bravatti to set up what the government argues was a drug transaction."
