Karma has a way of catching up with you. The jury in the OJ Simpson trial, only deliberated 12 hours before finding OJ
Simpson guilty on all twelve counts. He faces 15 years to life in prison and his bail was revoked.
The panel of nine women and three men — none of them black — deliberated more than 12 hours after listening to nearly three weeks of testimony. The jury’s discussions began exactly 13 years after Simpson was acquitted in Los Angeles of murdering his ex-wife and her friend.
Prosecutors painted Simpson, 61, as masterminding the alleged robbery of two sports collectibles dealers in a hotel room last year. The Hall of Fame running back, the prosecution contended, rounded up five cohorts, told two of them to bring guns and ordered one of the armed men to brandish his weapon and “look menacing.”
Simpson and co defendant Clarence Stewart, 54, are charged with a dozen crimes — including armed robbery and kidnapping, which carries a potential life sentence. Four of their former co defendants agreed to plead guilty to lesser charges and testified for the prosecution.
Sentencing will be held in December. To get total coverage on the OJ Simpson trial, you can go to www.lasvegasnow.com.
