O.J. Simpson's lawyers are citing judicial errors and insufficient evidence in seeking a new trial for the former football star.

Simpson was convicted of kidnapping and robbing two sports memorabilia dealers at gunpoint in a Las Vegas casino hotel room.

In a motion filed with Clark County District Judge Jackie Glass, attorney Gabriel Grasso faults Glass' decisions during jury selection, her limitations on cross-examination of witnesses during trial and her instructions to jurors before deliberations.

In a separate filing, a lawyer for co-defendant Clarence "C.J." Stewart says Stewart suffered from being tried with Simpson, who was acquitted more than a decade ago of killing his ex-wife and her friend.

Simpson lawyer Yale Galanter says he'll file a more detailed appeal to the Nevada Supreme Court if Glass denies a new trial.
