SHOCK! OJ Simpson charged with armed robbery

Disgraced star faces life in prison

Monday, 6 October 2008

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.

in this history finnaly O.J. get what he gets! no matter if he is a football player or not; soon or later he has to pay for what he did! For me it can be a regular people with no money, they will charge them life in prison and no more trial; but this one thought that he can get out of this, finally they get him. i hope he sit down in prison and think about all he did and pray for forgiveness, because the real tru is that no matter what you do in earth; you still going to pay in front of GOD! THE BEST THING IN THIS WORLD IS YOUR CONCIOUS IS GOING TO BATHER ALL THE REST OF YOUR LIFE, NO MATTER WHAT! WITH MONEY OR NOT. I HOPE GOD HAVE SOME MERCY IN YOUR SOUL!god bless you all.
