O.J. Simpson to face kidnapping, armed robbery charges

Simpson, an iconic sports star who was dramatically acquitted of brutally murdering his ex-wife and her friend 12 years ago, is to appear in court in Las Vegas on Wednesday for an arraignment hearing.

The charges against Simpson and three other men were detailed in a criminal complaint filed by Nevada prosecutors in Clark County on Tuesday, following the fallen icon's arrest on Sunday in connection with an alleged armed robbery.

Simpson and the men have been charged with seven felony offences: conspiracy to commit kidnapping; conspiracy to commit robbery; first degree kidnapping with use of a deadly weapon; burglary with a deadly weapon; robbery with a deadly weapon; assault with a deadly weapon and coercion with a deadly weapon.

The four men have also been charged with the misdemeanor offence of conspiracy to commit a crime.

If convicted on the most serious charges Simpson would face several years, possibly decades, in prison.

The charges stem from an incident at the Palace Station casino on Thursday, when a gang of gun-toting men that included Simpson is reported to have stormed into a hotel room and snatched sporting memorabilia from two dealers.

Simpson is currently behind bars in Las Vegas in connection with the alleged robbery. In interviews with US media prior to his arrest he denied robbery, saying he was only recovering items that had been illegally stolen from him.

One of the most famous American football players of his generation during the 1970s, Simpson was the prime suspect in the 1994 murders of his ex-wife Nicole and her friend Ron Goldman.

Simpson, who has always vehemently denied the killings, was acquitted of them after a racially charged Los Angeles trial in 1995, a verdict that was greeted with widespread outrage across America.

Simpson was subsequently found liable for the deaths in a 1997 civil suit and was ordered to pay damages to the victims' families totaling 33.5 million dollars.

I hope this trial is aired on Court TV. The justice system owes us the right to watch him sweat and cringe for a month before they send him to jail for life.

i just lost so much respect for him now

he gets off on murder, gets sued, but through a brilliant loophole, keeps his house and multi-mill dollar pension which cant be touched

and he has to go **** it up with some bullshit like this

During his trial maybe he can somehow turn it into a racial issue and get off. again.

I at first thought it was race that got him off and now I can look back and say it was color that got him off, the color green for money. He is out of it(money) and now he will be convicted. To many white guys in Cali got off for the same thing as him because of money, Robert Blake and now Phil Spector. If your rich, live in California you can kill your lover and get away with it.
