Poor Linda Deutsch. AP's legendary Los Angeles-based trial reporter is back on the O.J. Simpson beat. She is in Las Vegas for the start of Simpson's latest criminal trial — for kidnapping and armed robbery in connection with that clash last year with sports memorabilia collectors. Simpson would probably feel lost without Deutsch in the gallery behind him — she's covered his legal sagas ever since Rockingham Drive. In Vegas, where I hear Deutsch has taken an apartment for the duration, twenty prospective jurors have already been dismissed, including a woman who told the court Tuesday, "I felt he got away with murder." [The judge reportedly replied, "well, yeah"....j/k!]
