By Ashley Broughton Simpson should serve a six-year prison sentence - the lowest end of the minimum sentencing range - defense attorney Gabe Grasso said in a sentencing memorandum filed Tuesday. Simpson faces a maximum sentence of up to life. A presentencing report recommends that he be sentenced to 18 years. A jury on October 3 convicted Simpson, 61, and co-defendant Clarence "C.J." Stewart on 12 charges, including conspiracy to commit a crime, robbery, assault and kidnapping with a deadly weapon. Their conviction stems from a September 13, 2007, incident at Las Vegas' Palace Station hotel and casino.
