Simpson co-defendant Stewart moved to Nev. prison
LAS VEGAS (AP) -- A Nevada corrections official says O.J. Simpson co-defendant Clarence Stewart has been moved from a jail in Las Vegas to a state prison in Indian Springs.
Corrections spokeswoman Suzanne Pardee says Stewart was moved Thursday to High Desert State Prison. Simpson, who is also saying there, arrived Monday. The prison is 45 miles northwest of Las Vegas.
The two will spend the first three weeks on intake evaluations before they are assigned to a facility to serve their sentences.
Stewart received 7 1/2 to 27 years in the armed robbery of two sports collectibles dealers last year at a Las Vegas casino hotel. Simpson was sentenced to 9 to 33 years.
