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.
“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.”
Simpson said he was “afraid that I won’t get to go to my kids’ college graduations after I managed to get them through college.”
Sentencing is scheduled for Dec. 5.
Mediaoutrage- Damn, OJ, we guess you won’t get a chance to go to your kids’ college graduations. That’s what usually happens when you get a few guys and some guns and run up in someone’s hotel room and hold them hostage while it’s being taped. SMH.
