Court Upholds Conviction In Murder Of Famed Auto Racer Mickey Thompson And His Wife

An appeals court upheld convictions Monday in the murders of auto racing legend Mickey Thompson and his wife.

A three-judge panel on the 2nd District Court of Appeal unanimously rejected Michael Goodwin’s numerous claims of prejudicial errors in his 2007 trial.

Harper expected to file a petition for review with the California Supreme Court.

Thompson gained fame pursuing land-speed records on the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah, driving dragsters and funny cars, and popularizing off-road competitions.
