O.J. Simpson is promising not to disappear or endanger the community if he's freed from prison pending his appeal in an armed hotel room heist, his lawyers told the Nevada Supreme Court.
"Simpson recognizes that he has a heavy burden in demonstrating that his release will pose no danger to the community and that he is not a flight risk," attorneys Yale Galanter and Malcolm LaVergne said in a follow-up document filed Monday with the state's only appellate court. "Simpson will strictly adhere to whatever conditions this court sets for bond."
A three-member panel of Nevada Supreme Court justices plans oral arguments Aug. 3 in Las Vegas on Simpson's request to post unspecified bond while the seven-member court considers his appeal.
Monday's filing followed an initial appeal for bail filed May 28.
The new papers include an affidavit from one of the two memorabilia dealers robbed in the September 2007 encounter, renewing his allegation that Clark County District Attorney David Roger wouldn't let him drop the charges against Simpson.
