O.J. Simpson has been arrested in Las Vegas and will likely be charged on three counts -- conspiracy to commit armed robbery, armed robbery and armed robbery with a deadly weapon, according to CNN.


Story developing ...

[freespirited]

Can he afford the dream team this time around, or is he going to go with a public defender?

Big name lawyers will be clamoring to represent him for the publicity.

He'll still lose this time.

[umgud]

He’ll probably get more time for armed robbery than he did for murder. Oh, wait, he didn’t get any time for that.

[Halls]

I always wonder what OJ’s kids really think of him. Do they believe he murdered their mother or do they believe their father’s version of events.

[Paul Heinzman]

Could be, but I doubt the prosecutor’s going to accept a plea on this. And there’s lots and lots of surveillance cameras in Vegas.

[CaptainK]

Yes. No big stretch to go from double murder to armed robbery.

It usually works the other way around.

[theDentist]

Now, I’m no fan of OJ, but I can’t help but wonder if the local D.A. is pulling a Nifong.... trying to get some publicity for himself.

[I see my hands]

It's satisfying to realize he must have been going through emotional and/or financial turmoil which motivated him to do this.

[SE Mom]

Whew- what a relief- I thought this would be allowed to just drift into oblivion.

This is excellent- couldn’t happen to a more deserving fellow.

[yorkie]

The jury will find him “not guilty” once again.

Dang, I would love to see him behind bars - but don’t count on it.

Get Johnnie Cochran!

Get Johnnie Cochran!!

Just local lore but thats where they slowed down on the way to the airport and oj opened the windows of the limo it in the transcripts

[stephenjohnbanker]

“He needs to be granted bail so he can go and look for the real burglar”

ROTFLMAO!

[Zerodown]

Very poor form for you to rejoice over this unfortunate misunderstanding involving a stellar athlete and role model for kids in da hood.

Don't you, The Goodmans, and Nicole's family realize that this will seriously hinder OJ's ability to search for the real killer(s) of Ron and Nicole?

He has dedicated his life to looking for the murderers in every sand trap in America, armed with nothing more than a Ping sand wedge. I think of him every time my renta car is delivered with a dirty carpet, or ashtray.

hes dead jim

[EveningStar]

This will be the first of 25 threads on the same topic. :)

[CitizenM]

I wonder, too. But, also wonder if they read the book OJ wrote, before the Goldman's got the rights to it. Imagine reading their dad's words that (according to what has been reported) describe the crime and scene, and stabbing Ron Goldman? They must be totally conflicted, and are damaged forever emotionally by all of this. He should be tried for that crime too - the emotional damage he caused has his kids!

[Big Giant Head]

What is FreeRepublic’s fascination with celebrity? This OJ guy is just a precursur thug to todays NFL thugs. I don’t give a crap, and I didn’t when he murdered his wife. Just some thug.

[Las Vegas Dave]

If the orange jumpsuit don’t fit, you must acquit..

[stephenjohnbanker]

He’s dead.
