O.J. Simpson appears at an evidentiary hearing in Clark County District Court May 16, 2013 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Simpson, who is currently serving a nine to 33-year sentence in state prison as a result of his October 2008 conviction for armed robbery and kidnapping charges, is using a writ of habeas corpus to seek a new trial, claiming he had such bad representation that his conviction should be reversed.

On Tuesday, a Las Vegas judge denied O.J. Simpson’s request for a new trial, based on his claim that his lawyer botched his robbery and kidnapping trial in 2008. The AP reports Simpson can appeal to the Nevada Supreme Court, and then federal courts, but if those bids fail, he’ll continue serving his nine- to 33-year sentence. In other Juice news, Simpson’s manager, Norman Pardo, tells In Touch that O.J. might be Khloe Kardashian’s dad. “Whenever I bring it up, he giggles,” says Pardo. That’s a bit more subtle than his last confession.
