Could not have happened to a nicer guy

From CNN:
O.J. Simpson guilty of armed robbery, kidnapping
O.J. Simpson and co-defendant Clarence "C.J." Stewart were found guilty Friday on 12 charges, including armed robbery and kidnapping.

The case involved a Las Vegas, Nevada, hotel room confrontation over sports memorabilia. Simpson said the items had been stolen from him.

The verdicts came 13 years to the day that a Los Angeles, California, jury acquitted Simpson of two murders.

The Las Vegas jury reached its verdicts after about 13 hours of deliberations Friday.

Simpson sat quietly and showed little emotion at the defense table as he listened to the verdicts being read.
He has not been sentenced yet but:
Simpson, 61, faces the possibility of spending the rest of his life in prison for these convictions. Clark County District Judge Jackie Glass set sentencing for December 5.

Defense attorney Yale Galanter spoke with Simpson after the verdict and told reporters the former football star was "extremely upset, extremely emotional."

Galanter said he will file a motion for a new trial and appeal the case.
So there is justice in this world after all -- SWEEET!!! Posted by DaveH at October 4, 2008 10:25 AM
