OJ SIMPSON has filed an appeal against his conviction for kidnap and armed robbery.
The former American football star and actor was jailed last year after being found guilty of recruiting five men to help rob two sports memorabilia dealers at gunpoint in a Las Vegas hotel in 2007.
In a document submitted by Simpson’s lawyers, it is claimed the conviction was flawed due to judicial misconduct, a lack of racial diversity on the jury and errors in sentencing.
Simpson was convicted by an all white jury in October of 12 charges relating to the robbery.
The 61-year-old former sports star is serving nine to 33 years in prison for the crime.
The appeal was filed yesterday at a court in Carson City, Nevada.
