O.J. Simpson: Guilty in Armed Robbery Trial

O.J. Simpson was found guilty of armed robbery, kidnapping and 10 other counts on Friday in Las Vegas -- a development that could land him in jail for the rest of his life, says the Associated Press.

Simpson "released a heavy sigh," says the AP, as the court recited the charges, and he was promptly swept into police custody. His lawyer said he’d appeal.

Prosecutors said that last year, the disgraced football star rounded up five other men (two packing guns) and robbed two sports-collectible dealers in Las Vegas.

Coincidentally, the verdict in the case came 13 years to the day after Simpson was acquitted of murdering his wife Nicole and her friend Ronald Goldman in one of the most controversial and public celebrity criminal trials ever, says the AP.

Simpson was later held responsible for their deaths in a civil trial.

  • What offends me most about the OJ controversy is that it brings out the very worst aspects of otherwise good people. Self-righteously condemning a man without any direct knowledge of the events aside from what has filtered down to us through the...

  • I have to say, I'm glad about the verdict.

    I think O.J. truly believed he was above the law, and could get away with armed robbery, due to the fact he got away with murder for 13 years.

    He was seduced by his football hero persona---he thought...

  • HALLELUIA!!!! He may go to jail for life, as he should have done 13 years ago after murdering Ron and Nicole. Oops - I'm supposed to say allegedly because he was found not guilty of double murder. But damn, the whole world knows he DID IT and even...
