O.J. Simpson Guilty on All Counts
Early Saturday morning a Las Vegas jury found former football star O.J. "Juice" Simpson guilty of all charges relating to an armed robbery in September, 2007 at Palace Station Casino. The jury returned a guilty verdict on all twelve charges including armed robbery and kidnapping. He was immediately taken into custody and awaits a December 5 sentencing where he could be sent to prison for the rest of his life.
Co-defendant Clarence "C.J." Stewart was also found guilty on all twelve charges and taken into custody. Simpson has maintained he was only trying to recover his personal property when he led five men into the Palace Station guest room where sports memorabilia dealers were waiting for an apparent buyer. The defense argued that no crime was committed and Simpson was only recovering property stolen from him; but, the jury didn't buy it.
Ironically, the guilty verdict was delivered 13 years to the day after Simpson was found not guilty of murdering his ex-wife and her friend in Los Angeles at the conclusion of the "Trial of the 20th Century."
