LAS VEGAS — O.J. Simpson's appeal for release from a Nevada prison is now in the hands of the state Supreme Court.
Simpson lawyers argued in a final brief to the Nevada high court that a lower court judge was wrong to deny the former football star a new trial in his 2008 kidnapping and armed robbery conviction for a hotel room heist in Las Vegas.
The filing, submitted Friday, came after Clark County prosecutors submitted documents Sept. 24 saying there was no need for another trial.
CENTENNIAL, Colo. — A Colorado judge has postponed the death penalty trial for movie theater shooter James Holmes for a fifth time.
Judge Carlos A. Samour wrote in a Monday ruling that jury selection will begin Jan. 20, after the defense asked for more time to review a sanity evaluation of Holmes. Jury selection had been set for Dec. 8.
Holmes has pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity to killing 12 people and injuring 70 in the July 2012 attack inside a Denver-area theater.

A man has been taken into custody after leading police on a chase early Wednesday morning.
Timothy Knighton, 35, was arrested on charges of aggravated assault on a peace officer, possession of a controlled substance and evading arrest with a vehicle.
According to Lubbock police, an officer noticed Knighten driving through alleys in a silver vehicle with its headlights turned off at about 2:20 a.m. Wednesday. The car eventually stopped behind a brick wall in the 7800 block of Orlando Avenue.
An inmate who escaped from a Plainview prison Monday once worked as a Texas corrections officer.
Charlie Davis, 36, worked as a correctional officer at the Texas Department of Criminal Justice’s Clements Unit in Amarillo, said TDCJ spokesman Jason Clark. Davis has been missing from the Wheeler State Jail since Monday, and Crime Stoppers is offering a $1,000 reward for information leading to his capture.
Davis was employed with TDCJ from April 2003 until February 2004. He was terminated for disciplinary violations, Clark said.
