LOS ANGELES (AP) — 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. Goodwin, 69, is serving life in prison without parole in the 1988 slayings of Mickey and Trudy Thompson, who were gunned down in the driveway of their suburban Los Angeles home. Circumstantial evidence showed Goodwin hired two hit men to kill the couple to avenge a soured business deal. "I hope Mick and Trudy are looking down," said Collene Campbell, Thompson's sister.
