Co-defendant fights charges in O.J. case

A co-defendant is challenging charges in the O.J. Simpson armed robbery case and is asking a Nevada judge to let him be tried separately if the case goes to trial.

Charles Ehrlich's lawyer, John Moran Jr., also asks Clark County District Court Judge Jackie Glass to throw out the testimony of a former co-defendant who was interviewed for a television news show before he testified at Simpson's preliminary hearing.

  • In documents filed Wednesday, Moran maintains that Charles Cashmore violated an order by Las Vegas Justice of the Peace Joe M. Bonaventure not to discuss the case.

    But Cashmore's lawyer, Edward Miley, recalled Thursday that Bonaventure overruled Moran's objection before deciding Nov. 14 that there was enough evidence to bind Simpson, Ehrlich and co-defendant Clarence "C.J." Stewart over for trial April 7 in state court.

    "I think the issue was already dealt with," Miley said.

    Glass has scheduled hearings March 7 on all motions in the case.

    Stewart's lawyers, Jose Pallares and Robert Lucherini, have said they don't think their clients can get a fair trial amid the intense publicity surrounding Simpson's case.

    Simpson, 60, and Ehrlich, 54, both of Miami, and Stewart, 54, of North Las Vegas, have pleaded not guilty to felony charges including kidnapping, armed robbery, assault with a deadly weapon, burglary, coercion and conspiracy.
