Guest Andrea Posted October 4, 2008 Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 OJ Simpson was found guilty!!!! Finally!!!!!!!! :eek: Simpson guilty of armed robbery, kidnapping By LINDA DEUTSCH, AP Special Correspondent 27 minutes ago LAS VEGAS - Thirteen years to the day after being acquitted of killing his wife and her friend in Los Angeles, O.J. Simpson was found guilty of robbing two sports-memorabilia dealers at gunpoint in a Las Vegas hotel room. The 61-year-old former football star was convicted of all 12 counts late Friday after jurors deliberated for more than 13 hours. He released a heavy sigh as the charges were read and was immediately taken into custody. Simpson, who went from American sports idol to celebrity-in-exile after his murder acquittal, could spend the rest of his life in prison. His attorney said he would appeal. Many people considered the four-week trial justice delayed. Simpson was cleared in 1995 of murdering his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ronald Goldman, in one of the most sensational trials of the 20th century, but was later found liable for the deaths in a civil case. "I don't like to use the word payback," defense attorney Yale Galanter said. "I can tell you from the beginning my biggest concern ... was whether or not the jury would be able to separate their very strong feelings about Mr. Simpson and judge him fairly and honestly." The Hall of Fame football star was convicted of kidnapping, armed robbery and 10 other charges for gathering up five men a year ago and storming into a room at a hotel-casino, where the group seized several game balls, plaques and photos. Prosecutors said two of the men with him were armed; one of them said Simpson asked him to bring a gun. Simpson's co-defendant, Clarence "C.J." Stewart, 54, also was found guilty on all charges and taken into custody. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree 100%. The man murdered two people, when then scumbag is shanked, dead and in a body bag on a gurney being wheeled out of prison, then justice will finally be served.

stcif Posted October 7, 2008 Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 Where was the dream team on this one? I never saw a trial with so much evidence as when he killed his wife.

toddyboman Posted October 7, 2008 Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 1. he got away with murder 2. he did yet another crime so should be punished. 3. I bet he did not get a "fair" trial in this case........I would bet the jury all said guilty before the hearing even started......for that I can see another trial in the near future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
