SHOCK! OJ Simpson charged with armed robbery

Disgraced star faces life in prison

OJ Simpson looks determined
OJ Simpson sighed as he was convicted

OJ Simpson has been convicted of armed robbery and kidnapping.

The former American football star was arrested in September 2007 after breaking into the Palace Station Hotel And Casino in Las Vegas and stealing thousands of pounds worth of sports memorabilia.

OJ, 61, maintained he was only recovering items stolen from his trophy room, and denied holding two victims hostage with a gun.

But a jury found him guilty after a three week trial on Friday, in which he chose not to testify.

Judge Jackie Glass denied a request for him to be released on bail and he will be sentenced on 5 December.

Clarence Stewart, 54 - one of the five men who accompanied OJ - was also convicted.
