O.J. Simpson's bid for a new trial was spiked Tuesday by a Las Vegas judge.
The former Heisman Trophy winner's request was shot down when the Clark County judge rejected Simpson's claim that his original lawyer fumbled his defense in 2008.
"All grounds in the petition lack merit and, consequently, are denied," District Judge Linda Marie Bell said.
The legendary NFL running back, who was found guilty of armed robbery and kidnapping, claims his former lawyer botched the trial in Las Vegas more than five years ago.
Simpson has maintained the incident that led to his arrest was his attempt to retrieve memorabilia and personal items from two sports-collectibles dealers.
He could appeal to the Nevada Supreme Court. If he loses, the 66-year-old Juice could then go into federal court to argue that his constitutional right to effective counsel was violated.
His Las Vegas conviction came 13 years to the day after he was acquitted of murder in Los Angeles in the 1994 stabbing deaths of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend Ronald Goldman, and almost seven years after a jury in Miami acquitted him of all charges in a Florida road-rage case.
