LAS VEGAS AP – O.J. Simpson’s co-defendant lost another bid Thursday to get the Nevada Supreme Court to delay or separate their kidnapping and armed robbery trial, due to begin with jury selection Monday.

“We are not satisfied that this court’s intervention by way of extraordinary writ is warranted,” Justice James Hardesty said in a two-page order rejecting an emergency motion filed hours earlier by Robert Lucherini, lawyer for Clarence “C.J.” Stewart.
