O.J. Simpson to stay in jail where he belongs

LAS VEGAS—The Nevada Supreme Court has refused to overturn O.J. Simpson’s armed-robbery and kidnapping convictions stemming from a Las Vegas hotel-room heist.

But the court on Friday ordered his co-defendant’s conviction in the case reversed.

The 63-year-old Mr. Simpson is serving nine to 33 years at a state prison. His co-defendant, Clarence “C.J.” Stewart, is serving 7½ to 27 years.

Both men were convicted of kidnapping, armed robbery, conspiracy and other crimes for what Mr. Simpson maintained was an attempt to retrieve family photos and mementos.

Larry Seabrook, Bronx City Councilman faces federal criminal charges

City Council member Larry Seabrook is facing federal criminal charges in an indictment expected Tuesday afternoon, sources said.

Details were unavailable about the nature of the charges against the three-term city official, a former state senator.

People briefed on the matter told the New York Times the charges include money laundering, conspiracy to commit mail fraud mail and wire fraud, mail and wire fraud, extortion and receiving an unlawful gratuity.

The indictment apparently stems from a joint city-state probe of City Council funding of non-profit groups. Seabrook was already in custody after his arrest, sources said.

The federal indictment will be unsealed later Tuesday.

The Bronx council member is also a former state assemblyman.
