O.J on Trial Again

O.J Simpson has been in the news for the past two months now. He will go on trial in Las Vegas. If convicted of the charges he is faced with from the September 18th incident, he could possibly go to jail for life. The judge, Judge Joe M. Bonaventure Jr of the Clark County Justice Court ruled that there was enough evidence for the trial to prove Simpson guilty. Simpson says that the point of the alleged armed robbery was to retrieve all of his possessions that were stolen after he was in court in 1995 for the murder of his wife. He and his two partners-in-crime, Charles Ehrlich and Clarence Stewart, took more than that however. The former football star also took memorabilia from their victim of Joe Montana and baseball starts Pete Rose and Duke Snider.


There were lengthy mini trials where eight witnesses had to say that had enough proof to make a trial. Alfred Beardsley was one. He was put on the stand and said he had nothing to do with helping the sale of Simpsons items with Mr. Fromong, a memorabilia dealer. Thomas Riccio, and auction house owner, previously said that Beardsley did approach him to help Fromong sell the items. Beardley is now in jail after violating probation while being in Nevada during the hearing. Simpson has a slim chance of escaping jail this time.


Simpson was on trial in 1995 for the murder of his ex- wife and her friend. It was one of the most watched legal cases in American History. He had a great lawyer, Johnnie L. Cochran Jr. He died in 2005 at the age of 67 due to a brain tumor. He will not be around to save O.J. Simpson this time around.
